:31:00
What? No comment.
:31:03
You've gotta be kidding.
You want an interview now?
:31:09
A gentleman of the press.
:31:11
I'm afraid you're gonna get a lot of that.
:31:15
I'm sorry. I'm forgetting my manners.
Would you like a drink?
:31:19
Yeah. Maybe a drop of bourbon.
:31:22
Bourbon.
:31:25
Boy, this is quite a place.
:31:28
Is this a copy?
:31:30
Hardly. It's an original.
:31:33
Gee, I thought they only hung this stuff
in museums. You own this?
:31:38
Mrs Melville has been very kind.
:31:41
Boy. Quite a place. Gee whizz.
:31:45
And you got that other place in San Diego.
:31:48
Gee, the upkeep alone must be...
:31:51
- I manage to scrape by. Your drink.
- Thank you.
:31:55
There's one thing I don't understand.
Maybe you can help.
:31:59
If a fella's partner dies, does he own the
other fella's half of the books, half of the...
:32:05
- Royalties?
- Yeah.
:32:07
No. They go into the deceased's estate.
:32:11
That leaves you out in the cold, doesn't it?
:32:13
Unless, of course, you insured each other.
:32:16
Lieutenant, aren't we going a bit far astray?
:32:19
You're right. We shouldn't be talking
about this now. It's not the time.
:32:26
So, Mr Franklin, tell me,
:32:29
why do you think that they left
your partner's body on the lawn?
:32:33
Do you mean to tell me
you haven't figured that out?
:32:36
Lieutenant, you disappoint me.
:32:39
- It was left as a warning.
- A warning?
:32:42
Of course. It also proves my theory
about it being a professional killing.
:32:48
See, the moment they dropped
Jim's body in the middle of that lawn...
:32:52
Please, sit down.
:32:55
You know what they were saying?
That this could happen to you.
