:13:00
Wire's a phony. Anybody
could have sent it.
:13:02
Why, even i could call up
and clear a wire out of el paso if i wanted to.
:13:08
Maybe you did.
:13:09
You're very funny.
:13:10
If she's really missing,
why isn't kingsby looking for her?
:13:12
I don't know.
Maybe he thinks she's off on a toot,
:13:15
but a mexican divorce
with no property settlement?
:13:17
Not crystal kingsby.
She'd do it right here in california.
:13:20
Besides that,
crystal kingsby isn't a big enough fool
:13:23
to marry chris lavery.
:13:25
Why not?
:13:26
You don't marry
the chris laverys of this world.
:13:28
You just pay their
bills, lend them all the money they need,
:13:32
then forget
to ask for it back.
:13:34
You seem to know
all about him.
:13:38
What's that
got to do with it?
:13:39
Nothing. It has
to do with you.
:13:42
You know him well?
:13:42
What do you mean?
Why are you looking at me like that?
:13:48
If you don't think
there's a case or a mystery here,
:13:52
then i've been
wasting your time.
:13:54
Please don't let me
waste any more of it.
:13:56
Perhaps you'd better go
home and play with your fingerprint collection.
:14:03
Where does
chris lavery live?
:14:06
Bay city.
:14:07
Address?
:14:09
676 altair street,
:14:11
the edge
of the canyon.
:14:13
And you hope he
throws me into it.
:14:17
One more question-
:14:18
what would happen
if i kissed you?
:14:21
Why don't you
try and see?
:14:28
You always
close your eyes
:14:29
when you think
somebody's going to kiss you?
:14:33
What stopped you?
:14:34
What's lavery like? Broad shoulders?
Why?
:14:37
Did you close your
eyes for him, too?
:14:39
Get out!
:14:40
You want
to marry kingsby
:14:41
because lavery
jilted you, eh?
:14:43
That's not true.
Get out.
:14:45
Now, i'll go
see the guy,
:14:48
but don't try
to be cute anymore.
:14:50
I know you. We'll
skip the drinks.
:14:53
You better get
to work and edit my manuscript.
:14:56
Yes. I plan
to slash the emotion right out of it.
