:13:16
Mr. Marlowe?
:13:19
I took the liberty
of waiting here, Mr. Marlowe.
:13:23
The attendant gave me the impression
I could expect you soon.
:13:26
Who put in the pitch for me, Mr. Marriott?
:13:28
- I beg your pardon?
- How did you get my name?
:13:31
As a matter of fact...
:13:33
I decided to employ a private investigator
only today.
:13:36
This being Saturday afternoon,
I failed to reach anyone by phone...
:13:39
and was somewhat at a loss as to...
:13:42
The directory listed several in this
neighborhood, so I took a chance...
:13:46
I'm in a clutch at the moment.
:13:48
I'm pretty busy.
I couldn't take on anything big.
:13:51
What's the job?
:13:58
I'll require your services
for just a few hours this evening.
:14:01
I'm meeting some men
shortly after midnight.
:14:04
I'm paying them some money.
:14:06
You better get your flaps down,
or you'll take off.
:14:09
What's the deal, blackmail?
:14:10
I'm not in the habit
of giving people grounds for blackmail.
:14:14
I've simply agreed to serve
as bearer of the money.
:14:17
- How much and what for?
- I can't go into that.
:14:20
You just want me to go along
and hold your hand?
:14:24
I'm afraid I don't like your manner.
:14:25
I've had complaints about it.
But it keeps getting worse.
:14:28
How much are you offering me
for doing nothing?
:14:31
I really hadn't gotten around
to thinking about it.
:14:33
You suppose you can get around
to thinking about it now?
:14:37
How would you like
a swift punch on the nose?
:14:42
I tremble at the thought of such violence.
:14:50
I'm offering $100
for a few hours of your time.
:14:52
If that isn't enough, say so.
There's no risk.
:14:55
Some jewels were taken
from a friend in a holdup.
:14:58
- I'm buying them back.
- Where and when?
