:58:10
- Whose handwriting is this?
- I found it on Marriott.
:58:13
You went through his pockets?
That took a strong stomach.
:58:16
- How'd you like to work for me?
- I'm flattered.
:58:19
I'm also tired of you.
And I've got a date. Go home.
:58:22
I can't. There's a little bundle
on my doorstep named Nulty...
:58:26
who's playing at not looking like a cop.
:58:28
But he's terrible at it.
:58:31
Get rid of him.
:58:32
Tell him you decided
to have a quiet little supper here with me.
:58:40
- Yes?
- I'd like a word with your boyfriend.
:58:43
- Well, I really don't...
- Come in, Lieutenant.
:58:45
Excuse me.
:58:47
Thanks to you guys,
my love life's going to pieces.
:58:49
I've been looking for you for three days.
Let's go.
:58:51
We were sitting down to soft-boiled eggs
and scotch. You wouldn't join us?
:58:55
The last time I saw you,
I gave you good advice.
:58:57
- I guess it didn't take.
- I didn't bother your little pal Amthor.
:59:01
I didn't get around to it. He got to me.
:59:04
- He gave me quite a party.
- How did it go?
:59:09
What'll it buy me? This is straight.
:59:11
You'd like to get Amthor,
I'd like to help you.
:59:14
He annoyed me a little.
Let you have it cheap.
:59:18
I just get to finish my dinner.
:59:21
- Okay.
- Come in, Nulty. Make yourself at home.
:59:27
Amthor's a tough cookie.
:59:28
He works some complicated
jewelry routine on gals...
:59:31
who come to him
with broken-down libidos.
:59:33
- I think Marriott was his contact man.
- Let's get to the new part.
:59:37
The jewelry Marriott was buying back
was a jade necklace...
:59:40
belonging to one of Amthor's patients,
worth about $100,000.
:59:45
Marriott might've been crossing Amthor.
Anyway, he fumbled the ball.
:59:49
- It's a lot of theory. Let's go.
- Amthor figured I picked it up.
:59:52
He figured wrong. I disappointed him.
I didn't have the jewelry and I didn't talk.
:59:56
But he has a little rest home
where you learn to talk.
