Remember Sammy Jankis.
:21:23
I met Sammy through work. Insurance.
I was an investigator.

:21:27
I'd investigate the claims
to see which ones were phoney.

:21:29
I had to see through people's bullshit.
:21:31
lt was useful experience
cos now it's my life.

:21:34
When I meet someone,
I don't know if I've met them before.

:21:37
I have to look in their eyes
and try and figure them out.

:21:40
My job taught me the best way to find out
what someone knew was let them talk.

:21:43
Watch the eyes and the body language.
:21:45
If someone scratches their nose,
experts tell you it means they're lying.

:21:49
lt really means they're nervous. People
get nervous for all sorts of reasons.

:21:52
It's all about context.
:21:53
Yeah, I was good.
:21:55
Sammy was my first real challenge.
:22:00
(engine starts)
:22:05
Yo, Lenny! I thought you'd split for good.
:22:08
- Well, things change.
- So I see.

:22:10
- My name's Teddy.
- I guess I've told you about my condition.

:22:13
Only every time I see ya.
Come on, I'll buy you lunch.

:22:22
- Have I told you about Sammy Jankis?
- Mmm. Yeah.

:22:25
I'm sick of hearing about the guy.
:22:27
What about John G?
You think he's still here?

:22:29
- Who?
- Johnny G, the guy you're looking for.

:22:31
- That's why you haven't left town, right?
- Maybe.

:22:34
- Leonard, you have to be very careful.
- Why?

:22:37
You mentioned that maybe somebody
was trying to set you up.

:22:40
Get you to kill the wrong guy.
:22:42
I go on facts, not recommendations,
but thank you.

:22:45
Lenny, you can't trust a man's life
to your little notes and pictures.

:22:48
- Why not?
- Because your notes could be unreliable.

:22:51
- Memory's unreliable.
- Oh, please.

:22:53
No, really. Memory's not perfect,
it's not even that good. Ask the police.

:22:56
Eyewitness testimony is unreliable.
:22:59
The cops don't catch a killer
by sitting around remembering stuff.
