:32:08
You've got a nice build
for a private detective.
:32:11
It gets me around.
:32:13
How does one get to be
a private detective?
:32:16
You don't mind my sizing you up a little?
:32:19
Most are ex-cops.
I worked for the D.A., got fired.
:32:22
- Not for incompetence, surely.
- For talking back.
:32:25
I had an interesting childhood, too, but
you didn't drop in to get a biography.
:32:29
I thought you'd like to know
what Amthor said...
:32:32
and I wanted to make it official.
:32:34
Shall we call this a retainer?
:32:40
Yeah, let's call it a retainer.
:32:42
If the cops get to you, you sent for me.
:32:45
I didn't want to take the case.
You talked me into it.
:32:48
- You hired me.
- Do they have to know about me?
:32:51
Would that bother you?
:32:53
We live pretty much by ourselves.
:32:55
And my husband has a morbid fear
of any kind of publicity.
:32:58
He's not very strong.
:33:00
I'll manage it. How did it go with Amthor?
:33:02
I'm stubborn. I don't like being rushed.
:33:05
I figured, the way you're dressed,
you're on the town, stopped by here to...
:33:09
I was hoping
you'd buy me a drink somewhere...
:33:12
or don't you ever relax
when you're on a case?
:33:15
Not in public. It's too crowded.
:33:17
Do you like the Coconut Beach Club?
:33:19
Never been there. I'm the drive-in type.
:33:21
The lights would be flattering to you.
:33:23
They might even mellow you a little.
:33:26
It's the sort of place
where you have to wear a shirt.
:33:31
Be right with you.
