:55:01
Because you hit him.
:55:03
Not until i had to.
:55:04
There's something
from the past in this case
:55:06
that neither of us
know anything about.
:55:07
I intend to do
some finding out on my own tonight.
:55:10
You can, too, by
talking to degarmot.
:55:12
You know what you're
doing, don't you?
:55:14
You're practically
forcing on me
:55:16
the rottenest job
a police official can have-
:55:18
investigating
a man in his own organization.
:55:20
Listen, marlowe,
there have been 2 deaths,
:55:22
and if they're
in any way connected-
:55:24
they're connected,
all right.
:55:26
If they are,
i'll find out!
:55:27
And i'll be glad
to help you.
:55:29
I'll work with you
in any way you want.
:55:31
Why? Are you that sore
at degarmot?
:55:33
No. I want
to help you because i got
:55:35
a personal interest
in finding crystal kingsby.
:55:38
All right.
:55:40
Here's what you do.
:55:42
Yeah?
:55:43
Call the sergeant...
:55:45
and get him to give you
a nice, quiet cell.
:55:49
Oh. For a minute,
i thought you were on the level,
:55:51
but you want me
out of the way, don't you,
:55:53
so you and degarmot
can fix this up any way that suits you.
:55:56
I resent that.
:55:57
If it wasn't
christmas eve, i'd...
:56:00
ok, your
murder alibi checks.
:56:01
The charge of taking
a punch at degarmot is dismissed.
:56:03
Just do me
a great big favor and get out of here.
:56:08
Kane talking.
:56:10
Huh?
:56:11
Oh, hello, darling.
:56:14
Well, i just talked
to elaine.
:56:19
Yes, dear, i know
what night it is.
:56:22
Oh, i am, am i?
:56:25
Be santy claus
again, huh?
:56:28
Well, i...
:56:29
get out.
Get out before i decide to go to work on you myself.
:56:35
What?
:56:36
Oh, it should
still fit, but...
:56:38
i don't think we'll
need the pillow this year.
:56:41
My stomach...
:56:45
yeah.
:56:45
Oh, and, dear, do me
a favor, will you,
:56:48
and, uh, comb out
the beard for me.
:56:51
Will you get
out of here, marlowe?
:56:55
I'm sorry, dear.
:56:56
You know i can't talk
to 2 people at once.
