George Taylor,
Mel Phillips.
:32:04
This is the character
I phoned you about...
:32:06
the one that keeps falling through doors
with me on the other side.
:32:09
- Hello, Taylor.
- Hello.
:32:11
Some hot coffee, Mel?
:32:13
- Thanks, Chris. No sugar.
- I know.
:32:15
I understand your trouble started
at one of my places. The Cellar.
:32:19
- Do you want to tell me what happened?
- It's all right.
:32:23
You may have heard
I don't like that sort of thing.
:32:26
I've kept the hoodlums out of my clubs,
and they're gonna stay out.
:32:29
- I'd appreciate your telling me what happened.
- It's all right. Forget it.
:32:31
I called Mel before
you told me about things.
:32:35
Thank you, Chris.
:32:37
If you make up your mind to stay around,
I'm sure he can help you.
:32:43
All right, Taylor.
Will you help me?
:32:47
There's a reason
I was so late getting here, Chris.
:32:49
The police called
just after you did.
:32:51
One of my bartenders
was found in the vacant lot.
:32:54
- They figure he was dumped out of a car.
- Which bartender?
:32:57
- John.
- Was he the one I talked to?
:33:03
I asked him if he knew
a man I was looking for.
:33:05
After that, he set me up with the two characters
that chased me to Christy's room.
:33:09
Who was the man
you were looking for?
:33:11
Name's Larry Cravat.
He's beginning to bore me.
:33:15
Larry Cravat. That's funny.
I think I know it, but I can't place it.
:33:20
- What does he do?
- I don't know.
:33:23
Whatever he does,
he seems to keep pretty busy.
:33:25
Why are you
looking for him?
:33:28
- I just want to find him.
- Private reasons?
:33:32
They're good enough.
:33:34
Well, anyway, there are two of us
looking for him now.
:33:37
- There are more than two of us, Mr. Phillips.
- The police, for instance?
:33:40
- Maybe.
- Any reason why we can't go ask them?
:33:43
They might want to know
who's asking and why.
:33:46
Which takes us back
to the private reasons.
:33:50
Look, Taylor.
If I go to the police, and I probably will...
:33:53
- don't worry about my bringing you into it.
- I appreciate that.
:33:58
I could put you in touch with a friend of mine.
He's a police lieutenant.
