:36:01
Now what?
:36:03
I can't play alone like this anymore.
I'm getting the jumps.
:36:07
Chasing shadows.
I'll be hearing noises next.
:36:11
Christy, call up Phillips,
will ya?
:36:13
Tell him I want to talk to
that police lieutenant. Kendall.
:36:30
Ah. In case you don't know it, George,
this is why you fought the war.
:36:34
The four freedoms
and fried shrimps for Christy.
:36:36
That was the battle cry
at Iwo Jima. Thank you.
:36:41
Here he comes.
:36:44
- Hello, Mel.
- Hiya, Don.
:36:46
Sorry I'm late. Looked for a while
like I wouldn't get away at all.
:36:49
Go on.
Sit down. Sit down.
:36:51
Yeah, we're a little
shorthanded over at the office.
:36:54
Big postwar boom
in homicide.
:36:56
We went ahead and ordered.
What'll you have?
:36:58
Oh, I never eat lunch.
No. It keeps me sleepy all afternoon.
:37:02
- You've seen Christy around the Cellar.
- Yeah. Sure. How are ya?
:37:04
And this is the friend I called you about.
Tom Carter.
:37:07
- Tom, meet Lieutenant Kendall.
- Hello, Lieutenant.
:37:10
Hiya, Carter.
:37:12
Hey. That stuff'll kill ya.
:37:14
Say, I know what's
strange about you.
:37:17
You've got your hat off.
It's hard for me to believe you're a detective.
:37:20
You're kidding,
but I get that on the level all the time.
:37:23
It's almost impossible to make a pinch
without your hat on.
:37:26
They just won't believe ya.
Well, that's the movies, I guess.
:37:29
If they'd only make pictures where detectives
would take their hats off indoors...
:37:32
just like anybody else.
:37:34
I was wondering, Don, whether you could
give Tom here some information.
:37:38
Tom Carter, wasn't it?
What about?
:37:41
Would you know anything
about a fella named Larry Cravat?
:37:44
- Quite a bit. Would you?
- Not a thing.
:37:46
Pal of mine in the service asked me
to look him up about a personal matter.
:37:50
This, uh, pal of yours
in the service-
:37:52
I suppose he was killed
before he could tell you very much about Cravat.
:37:55
- That's right.
- Oh, that's too bad.
:37:57
- You know where he can be reached?
- If we did, lady...
:37:59
maybe we'd reach for him.
