:21:04
You're a great help.
:21:05
Monkeying around
down here on some case, aren't you?
:21:07
Sure,
and my client slugged me,
:21:09
carried me out
and put me in my car, ran it over a curb,
:21:11
poured whiskey on me,
and then went somewhere to call the police
:21:14
and report a drunk driver.
:21:16
Maybe it wasn't
a client.
:21:17
You're right. It was a boy
in gray named chris lavery, a southern gentleman.
:21:21
Who also happens
to be a resident of bay city.
:21:24
You know, we ain't
especially partial to private cops down here.
:21:29
We don't like them
molesting our citizens.
:21:30
So i molested him? Fine!
Lovely city. Remind me to move here.
:21:34
I see him on business,
get almost killed,
:21:37
and now i'm charged
with molesting him.
:21:39
You say you're
down here on business.
:21:41
That's what
i thought.
:21:43
Who's your client,
marlowe?
:21:44
I don't reveal
my clients' names.
:21:46
Well, that's very
noble of you, i'm sure,
:21:48
but you happen to be
talking to the police.
:21:50
Whether i'm talking
to the cops or anybody else,
:21:51
the names of my clients
are their business. It's confidential.
:21:53
If it wasn't,
i wouldn't have any clients.
:21:57
Or they wouldn't give it
to you, but it doesn't give you the right
:22:00
to start trouble
in my district
:22:02
without letting me in
on what you're after.
:22:04
Anytime you do,
you'll find yourself in a bad jam.
:22:07
A lot worse
than this one.
:22:09
All right, degarmot.
Just don't forget what i said.
:22:12
Me, i don't like
certain kinds of private dicks.
:22:15
I never did.
Never met one yet that wasn't a crook,
:22:20
anytime, anyplace.
:22:20
I've heard of people
that don't like certain kinds of cops.
:22:24
It seems impossible,
doesn't it?
:22:42
How'd you
get in here without being announced?
:22:44
Marlowe: I told
that girl outside it was an emergency.
:22:46
You look
like an emergency.
:22:49
Well, it's
an old sickness- reoccurring black eyes.
:22:52
Looks like
that big ring lavery wears.
:22:54
Yeah, he wore 5
of them. You know all about him, don't you?
:22:58
"Come on in, mr. Marlowe,
sir. Have a mint julep, sir." yak, yak, yak.
