:44:01
Marlowe: Some nice, warm corner
where there isn't too much traffic.
:44:04
Adrienne: I might have known
this was coming,
:44:06
you and your lectures.
:44:07
You don't like
my morals.
:44:08
You thought you'd
make me lose kingsby,
:44:10
and then i'd come
flying straight into your arms.
:44:13
Tell me, mr. Marlowe,
:44:14
do you always fall in love
with all your clients?
:44:16
Marlowe: Only the ones
in skirts.
:44:17
Adrienne: Well, if you think
i'm going to settle for a cheap detective,
:44:21
you're sadly mistaken.
:44:22
I've been pushed around
too much in this world.
:44:24
There's more than one
kingsby on the christmas tree, mr. Marlowe,
:44:27
and i'll shake one loose
yet, don't you worry.
:44:30
And as for you,
you're off the case.
:44:32
There isn't any case
anymore.
:44:34
Now, kindly haul yourself
out of here
:44:36
and send me a bill
for your failure.
:44:38
I never want
to see you again!
:44:40
Marlowe: Merry christmas.
Adrienne: What?
:44:41
Marlowe: I said merry christmas,
and i'm glad to have met you,
:44:44
and have a good cry!
:44:45
Crowd: In a one-horse
open sleigh
:44:47
jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way
:44:50
oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh
:44:55
jingle bells...
:44:56
merry christmas!
:44:57
Jingle all the way
:44:58
oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh
:45:04
kingsby: Mr. Marlowe.
:45:06
Marlowe: Yeah?
:45:08
May i speak to you?
:45:09
Why not? Everybody's
been speaking to me.
:45:12
I don't know what
your arrangement is with adrienne-
:45:15
there isn't any anymore.
:45:16
Well, uh, then i'd like
to make one with you.
:45:20
It's about my wife.
:45:22
Uh...
:45:23
perhaps about myself.
:45:26
I've made some mistakes
in my life, mr. Marlowe,
:45:29
but the one thing
i know is, i love my wife intensely.
:45:34
She's done things
she shouldn't,
:45:36
but, uh, perhaps
that's my fault, too.
:45:39
I haven't been perfect.
:45:41
No one is,
santa claus.
:45:42
I do know that,
no matter how things look,
:45:45
crystal couldn't have
killed anyone.
:45:47
And if you could
locate her for me so i could protect her,
:45:51
i'd be willing to
pay you any fee you ask.
:45:54
You, uh,
say lavery's murdered.
:45:56
I'd like to keep
my wife out of it.
:45:58
That may be tough.
:45:59
Well, that's why i'm
willing to pay you whatever you ask.
