:36:00
Yeah.
:36:03
I see.
:36:05
Well, that's all
I wanted to know. Thanks.
:36:08
She's here, McPherson-
the maid.
:36:10
Okay.
:36:12
- Come in, Miss Clary.
- Never mind the "Miss Clary'' stuff.
:36:15
My name's Bessie, and I'm a domestic,
and I got nothin' to be ashamed of.
:36:19
Sit down, Bessie.
:36:22
Her letters.
:36:24
And her private diary.
:36:27
You've been reading them,
pawing over them.
:36:29
It's a shame in the face of the dead.
That's what it is. It's a shame.
:36:33
- Sit down, Bessie.
- I'll stand on my own two feet.
:36:36
Don't you go
ordering me around.
:36:38
I ain't afraid of cops. I was
brought up to spit whenever I saw one.
:36:43
Okay, go ahead and spit
if that'll make you feel better.
:36:52
What do you want to know?
:36:55
What we all want to know-
who killed Laura Hunt.
:36:57
How would I know?
:37:00
You don't think I done it?
:37:03
I know you cops
get crazy notions...
:37:06
but if you got any notion
concerning me-
:37:08
Ask anyone-
anyone who ever come to this house.
:37:12
I would have
worked for her.
:37:14
I would have washed,
ironed, scrubbed...
:37:16
done everything she wanted of me,
whether she paid me for it or not.
:37:19
And it wasn't only on account of the
thousand sweet things she done for me.
:37:23
It was because she was
so sweet herself...
:37:26
because she was
a real fine lady.
:37:31
But you cops
wouldn't know about that.
:37:35
But you do. That's all the more reason
why you should help me, Bessie.
:37:40
Do you happen to know how this got into
her liquor cabinet?
:37:45
I put it there.
:37:47
But she never bought cheap stuff like
that- not a lady like Miss Hunt.
:37:50
- No.
- When did you put it in the cabinet?
:37:53
- Saturday.
- Before the police came.
:37:55
- Was it there Friday night before you left?
- No.
:37:59
Are you sure of that?
