Wouldn't taking a checkroom girl home
to hear a story be an odd thing to do?
:16:15
I'd say it was very practical.
She'd read the book and I hadn't.
:16:20
If you only wanted a story,
why'd you take her to your place?
:16:24
I work at home.
:16:26
You had no other reason?
:16:29
-lf so, I didn't do anything about it.
-Did she have a drink at your house?
:16:34
She had a glass of ginger ale
with a twist of lemon in it.
:16:38
It's known as a horse's neck.
The glass is still on my desk...
:16:42
...complete with fingerprints.
I was too tired to wash dishes.
:16:46
You gave her 20 dollars.
Quite a large sum f or cab f are.
:16:50
-Well, she'd given me valuable service.
-Was it two 10s?
:16:54
Yes, but don't ask me
to identify the bills.
:16:59
Why didn't you call f or a cab? Isn't
that what a gentleman usually does?
:17:05
I didn't say I was a gentleman.
I said I was tired.
:17:19
You're told the girl you were with
last night was f ound murdered...
:17:23
...dumped f rom a moving car.
:17:26
What's your reaction?
Shock, horror, sympathy?
:17:31
No, just petulance
at being questioned...
:17:34
...a couple of feeble jokes.
You puzzle me, Mr. Steele.
:17:40
The jokes could have been better, but
I don't see why the rest worries you.
:17:45
Unless you plan to arrest me
f or lack of emotion.
:17:49
-What else did she say about her date?
-No more than I've told you.
:17:55
-Some more coming.
-Any marks on the neck?
:17:58
Dr. Jackson said the killer
used his arm, not his hands.
