You want something real
to write about, write about this.
1:25:10
Operator, this is an emergency.
1:25:12
Get me
the district attorney's office, please.
1:25:15
Thank you.
1:25:20
Not just yet, little lady.
1:25:28
He needed one hand for the money
and the other for the gun.
1:25:31
He wasn't good enough
to handle both.
1:25:35
I read it too, Hammett.
I like the ending.
1:25:38
- Swell.
- Was he a friend or what?
1:25:41
- Yeah, he was a friend.
- He was good.
1:25:44
He broke in from nowhere,
1:25:46
tracked me down,
figured it all out and cut himself in.
1:25:49
- He was good.
- He was the best,
1:25:51
- in his heyday.
- Maybe you didn't know him too well.
1:25:54
Maybe I didn't know him at all.
1:25:57
Take his place, Hammett.
Come with me.
1:26:01
You could be
my bodyguard and biographer,
1:26:03
my lover, my lap dog.
1:26:05
Don't be a simp. I'm gonna give it to
you and gonna give it to you straight.
1:26:08
You don't think they're
gonna let you waltz, do you?
1:26:10
Oh, you might get
to Berlin or Constantinople,
1:26:12
maybe even Hong Kong,
wherever you're going,
1:26:14
but one day you'll turn
the wrong corner and:
1:26:16
Curtains, no more Crystal.
You see what I mean?
1:26:19
You're going up against
100, 200, 300 million dollars.
1:26:22
You're going up against
the powerhouse, angel,
1:26:24
the big steam.
1:26:26
I can beat them.
1:26:27
Sure. Like hell.
1:26:30
I'll show you I can beat them.
1:26:50
No grand slam, Jimmy.
1:26:54
You lost it all.
1:26:57
Everything.
1:26:59
Everything except your nerve.
