I brought his daughter back from
Mexico a couple of years ago...
:41:10
and I was in pretty bad shape,
so he let me hole up here.
:41:16
Then he got sick,
and I was helping out.
:41:19
VERNA:
That's the best I can do.
:41:25
Actually,
there's more to it than that.
:41:27
It's time I was leaving.
:41:29
VERNA: That's that actress.
:41:31
Catherine Hayward, right?
:41:34
Yeah.
:41:35
VERNA: Didn't she used to be
married to that actor...
:41:38
He disappeared.
What was his name?
:41:40
-Billy Sullivan.
-Yeah.
:41:42
HARRY: That was 20 years ago.
:41:44
Bet she doesn't look
like this anymore.
:41:46
HARRY: Hey, she's--
:41:49
She's OK.
:41:52
OK, Harry, what are your plans?
:41:57
Got no plans.
:41:58
Come on.
What are you gonna do?
:42:01
You gonna go back to work,

Verna...

:42:09
a private investigator for five.
:42:11
I started out...
:42:15
with a wife and daughter,
and I ended up a drunk.
:42:20
Slept in the office
and showered at the YMCA.
:42:22
You think I wanna go back
to that?
:42:26
Besides, I'm getting rusty.
I'm a danger to myself.
:42:30
I know.
:42:32
HARRY:
What's that supposed to mean?
:42:42
You used to be a better liar.
:42:44
Really?
:42:46
Lester lvar didn't have asthma.
:42:49

:42:54
