:43:05
I like your paintings.
:43:08
Your friend Jimmy has been here.
:43:13
Indeed, he is still here.
:43:15
Enjoying my hospitality while I consider
a proposition he's made me.
:43:21
What kind of proposition?
:43:25
Crystal, did you say?
:43:41
An interesting piece of work,
Mr. Hammett.
:43:44
My first encounter
with the detective genre.
:43:49
Is this pure invention,
:43:52
or do you draw your material
from life?
:43:55
Real life, Fong.
:43:56
I'd be glad to show you
some of my poems sometime,
:43:59
but if you don't mind,
I'd like to have this back.
:44:01
Now, Mr. Hammett, common sense
would dictate you listen quietly.
:44:05
Perhaps your work has made the habit
of fantasy too strong in you.
:44:10
You will find
that I am not so easily dealt with
:44:13
as your paper villains.
:44:16
In that case, I think I'll be leaving.
:44:19
Thanks for the tea.
:44:29
Evidently you don't understand
how important it is I talk to this lady.
:44:33
So please don't be silly,
just tell me where she is.
:44:37
Sure.
:44:47
Do you really insist
on this foolishness?
:44:53
Go to hell.
