00:01:10♪♪
00:01:20♪♪
00:01:30♪♪
00:01:38Oh, he's there all right, but he never leaves.
00:01:40He just sits there sort of staring out of the window most of the time.
00:01:44Now I ask you, a man of his age who stares.
00:01:49Are you a bill collector?
00:01:51No, I'm a lawyer.
00:01:52That's what they all say.
00:01:54They think they throw a scare into us, I guess.
00:01:58Well, he's a weird one, that fellow.
00:02:00Really?
00:02:01Him and his thousand dollar bill.
00:02:04Thousand dollar bill?
00:02:05Framed like a picture and a setting on the table.
00:02:11And him without enough money to eat on.
00:02:15♪♪
00:02:25♪♪
00:02:35♪♪
00:02:45♪♪
00:02:51Who is it?
00:02:52My name's Pearson, remember me?
00:02:54Sam Pearson.
00:02:56Could I see you for just a minute?
00:02:59Just a second.
00:03:01♪♪
00:03:09Come in.
00:03:13Mr. Shaw.
00:03:16Last time I saw you, I was representing some real estate people.
00:03:20That Pasadena deal, remember?
00:03:24Well, have you had your breakfast?
00:03:26No, not yet.
00:03:28I was just going out for it.
00:03:30Always have a cup of coffee here first.
00:03:32It, uh, it helps.
00:03:34Helps what, your pride?
00:03:37Oh, come now, Shaw, you're not the first man who lost his shirt.
00:03:40I don't mean that literally, of course.
00:03:43Come on, let's have some breakfast.
00:03:44Be my guest.
00:03:45Why?
00:03:47What was that?
00:03:51What are you trying to sell me?
00:03:54Success, my boy.
00:03:56Bigger than you ever had before.
00:03:58A half a million dollars behind Shaw Incorporated.
00:04:04I had a partner once who used to talk like you.
00:04:07He wound up robbing me blind.
00:04:09Partner in Shaw Incorporated?
00:04:11That's right.
00:04:13He was a gambler, wasn't he?
00:04:15Yeah.
00:04:16He gambled away $37,000.
00:04:19Not a bad fellow, though, I hear.
00:04:21No.
00:04:23Just a bad poker player.
00:04:27$37,000.
00:04:34That is no lemony in the world.
00:04:37No.
00:04:39But it was all I had.
00:04:41Not quite all.
00:04:44Look, all I ever wanted was good friends,
00:04:49good home, a good business.
00:04:52When I lost the business, I lost the home and the friends.
00:04:56Isn't that the usual?
00:04:58No, I don't mean it that way.
00:05:01All my partner and I put in Shaw Incorporated was $10,000.
00:05:06The rest was their money, friends' money.
00:05:09Life savings, most of it.
00:05:10Wiped out.
00:05:12May I ask you a question?
00:05:15Sure, you will anyway.
00:05:17Why?
00:05:22As long as I can keep from spending it,
00:05:25I'll get going again.
00:05:27You actually believe that?
00:05:30I sure do.
00:05:32When you get going again, you'll pay back every cent
00:05:34of all your friends' money.
00:05:40That sounds pretty noble, doesn't it?
00:05:43I don't know that my clients will like that.
00:05:47Would you consider going into bankruptcy,
00:05:52wiping out all your debts, and starting all over again afresh?
00:05:56No, no, I guess not.
00:05:58You could have done that months ago.
00:06:01You're not noble, my boy.
00:06:04You're a hard head.
00:06:06Nobody's ever going to teach you anything except yourself.
00:06:09Now, come on, let's get out of here and go and get some breakfast.
00:06:12Wait till I wash.
00:06:13OK.
00:06:15What's down the hall?
00:06:24Chow!
00:06:28That was a cynical thing to do.
00:06:32Safe, too.
00:06:45I'm Edward Chow.
00:07:06Mr. Pearson phoned and made an appointment for me.
00:07:09Mr. Hillman's not home.
00:07:11With Mrs. Hillman.
00:07:12What are you selling?
00:07:15Nothing.
00:07:16Mrs. Hillman told Mr. Pearson I should come right out.
00:07:19Mrs. Hillman's in the pool.
00:07:21Well, where would that be?
00:07:22In the middle of the six-car garage?
00:07:24Go around the back, that way.
00:07:26The pool is just the other side of the guest house.
00:07:32You better call out when you get to the guest house.
00:07:34Sometimes she swims in the nude.
00:07:37Don't worry about it.
00:07:38So do I.
00:07:45Hi.
00:08:03Hi.
00:08:04You're Edward Shore, aren't you?
00:08:05Uh-huh.
00:08:06I'm Mrs. Hillman.
00:08:07Hey, did you bring your pretty $1,000 bill?
00:08:10Word gets around.
00:08:11No, I left it at Pearson's office.
00:08:14Oh, what a shame.
00:08:16Hey, do you like our lovely pool?
00:08:22Looks all right from here.
00:08:25Didn't Mabel tell you to call out when you got to the guest house?
00:08:27Uh-huh.
00:08:28I didn't hear you call.
00:08:30No need to.
00:08:31I peeked first instead.
00:08:33You were expecting company.
00:08:34I didn't expect to find you unprepared.
00:08:37That'll be enough, Mr. Shaw.
00:08:39Enough of what?
00:08:41I invited you out here just to discuss business.
00:08:53Now, where were we?
00:08:55About to talk business, according to you.
00:08:58Do you want a drink first?
00:08:59Thanks, yes.
00:09:00Help yourself.
00:09:05I'll just have a Coke, if you don't mind.
00:09:07My husband doesn't like me to drink during the day.
00:09:10Me neither.
00:09:11Alcohol, I mean.
00:09:13I'm alone most of the time.
00:09:14He travels a lot.
00:09:16He thinks I should have a business to occupy me.
00:09:23Thanks.
00:09:24Do you know anything about the building business?
00:09:26I know real estate.
00:09:27I ought to.
00:09:28I used to sell it before I was married.
00:09:30How long have you been married?
00:09:31Six years.
00:09:33Long years?
00:09:35Short, happy years, Mr. Shaw.
00:09:38Uh-huh.
00:09:40The building business is a little different from real estate, you know.
00:09:43Not so different.
00:09:44Let's go.
00:09:50I want to handle the real estate.
00:09:51I want to buy up lots of beautiful California property.
00:09:55Then you build your little houses on it.
00:09:57I sell the houses and the property.
00:09:59Well, how can we miss?
00:10:01You handle the real estate, Ann?
00:10:02Yes.
00:10:03And what part of the business does your husband figure to handle?
00:10:06My husband?
00:10:07Not mine, I hope.
00:10:08My husband doesn't figure to handle anything.
00:10:11You mean he just puts up the money?
00:10:13And then sits back with a little prayer each night that it'll come back?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17He just puts up the money.
00:10:18Then it'll be just you and me.
00:10:20Yes.
00:10:21Don't you think you'd like that?
00:10:23It sounds like it might work out.
00:10:25But you're not too sure.
00:10:27I have to chase around the mulberry bush a few times.
00:10:31How much money?
00:10:32Mr. Pearson told you, half a million.
00:10:35Fifty thousand to start with and fifty thousand every three months.
00:10:39Just to keep you from getting lonely, huh?
00:10:41My happiness means a great deal to my husband.
00:10:44I'm sure it does.
00:10:46But what I'm not sure of is who's nuts, him, you or me.
00:10:49Or maybe it's Pearson.
00:10:51Did he recommend that you buy in with me?
00:10:52No.
00:10:53It was our idea.
00:10:54How come?
00:10:55I like your houses.
00:10:56Where did you see my houses?
00:10:58Pasadena.
00:10:59You sold quite a few there, didn't you?
00:11:00A dozen or so.
00:11:01My cousin lives in one.
00:11:03Cousin Evie.
00:11:04She swears by it.
00:11:05I think it's wonderful.
00:11:08Hand me that towel over there, will you?
00:11:11The top gets so uncomfortable when it's damp.
00:11:21There, that's better.
00:11:23Now, what were we talking about?
00:11:26I, uh...
00:11:27I can't imagine why, but...
00:11:29somehow it's slipped my mind.
00:11:32You mind if I cool this off a little?
00:11:33I mean, brace it up?
00:11:34I told you before.
00:11:35Help yourself.
00:11:40Oh, there's a...
00:11:41a little matter of some money the company owes.
00:11:45I've managed to pay off some of it.
00:11:46It stands out about 30,000.
00:11:48Mr. Pearson told me.
00:11:50Owed to some friends of yours?
00:11:52Uh-huh.
00:11:54Male or female friends?
00:11:55Both.
00:11:57Why?
00:11:58I just wondered.
00:12:00And you insist on paying them off?
00:12:02Sure, I insist.
00:12:03Else, no deal.
00:12:05Well, I'll have to talk to my husband about it.
00:12:07He'll be coming back early next week.
00:12:09Fine.
00:12:11Married six years, huh?
00:12:13Makes you pretty young when you were peddling real estate.
00:12:1618 to 22.
00:12:17My father was in it all his life.
00:12:19I loved it.
00:12:20I turned out to be his best salesman.
00:12:23Where was this?
00:12:24San Diego.
00:12:25Oh.
00:12:26Big naval base there, isn't it?
00:12:29Huge.
00:12:32It's a salesmanship.
00:12:34Some of us have it, some don't.
00:12:37Aren't you getting a little bit fresh, Mr. Shaw?
00:12:41Yeah, maybe I am.
00:12:45Well, Mrs. Hillman, I'll think it over.
00:12:47What about tomorrow?
00:12:48Can I stop by about the same time?
00:12:50Sure, business here.
00:12:52Yeah, I like your office.
00:12:55Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Shaw.
00:12:57I wish I thought I was being ridiculous, Mrs. Hillman.
00:13:02I wish I thought I was being ridiculous.
00:13:33Mr. Shaw?
00:13:34Yeah.
00:13:35You're wanted on the telephone.
00:13:38A woman?
00:13:39No, a man.
00:13:40He says his name is Mr. Pearson.
00:13:44I'll be right down.
00:14:03Hello, Pearson.
00:14:04Mrs. Hillman phoned a little while ago.
00:14:07Her husband's up in San Francisco,
00:14:09and said she was flying up there tomorrow afternoon
00:14:11to talk to him about that 30,000 in debts.
00:14:14She wants to see you Friday night.
00:14:17Night, huh?
00:14:18That's what she said.
00:14:21What did you think of that?
00:14:24She likes you.
00:14:27I think you'll make a great team.
00:14:29I think you'll make a great team.
00:14:32Thanks, coach.
00:14:47Mr. Shaw?
00:14:50Oh, Mr. Shaw?
00:14:52Huh?
00:14:53You told me to knock when it got dark tonight
00:14:56in case he was asleep.
00:14:57Oh.
00:14:59Thanks.
00:15:04I got a message for you, too.
00:15:07I'm decent.
00:15:08Come in.
00:15:11My.
00:15:13You ought to sleep at night instead of in the daytime.
00:15:16It'd be much better for your health, too.
00:15:18Yeah, I'll try to remember that, Mrs. Piltz.
00:15:20My.
00:15:21Look at this bed.
00:15:22Oh, say, Mrs. Hillman called you.
00:15:24She didn't want to talk to you on the phone,
00:15:26but she said to meet her here at nine.
00:15:29Real sweet, nice woman, I thought.
00:15:31I think you can always kind of tell, don't you?
00:15:34She sounded so refined.
00:15:37Yeah.
00:15:56Hi.
00:16:01Hi again.
00:16:03Don't just stand there.
00:16:04I've seen girls before.
00:16:06Oh.
00:16:07Is that what you are?
00:16:10I hope you didn't mind coming here.
00:16:11This apartment belongs to a friend of mine.
00:16:13She's in Palm Springs.
00:16:14I, uh, promised I'd take care of her cats for her.
00:16:18That's okay.
00:16:19I like cats.
00:16:20It's nice and quiet here, and we can be all alone and talk
00:16:23without being interrupted by the telephone and visitors you know.
00:16:25That's swell.
00:16:26I even made the hors d'oeuvres.
00:16:28Of course, they're not as good as Mabel's.
00:16:29Your maids?
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:31You mean you didn't bring her?
00:16:32Well, of course not.
00:16:33I'm crushed.
00:16:34Well, try one.
00:16:41Not bad.
00:16:43What is it, rattlesnake meat?
00:16:45Don't be silly.
00:16:47Oh, I suppose Mr. Pearson told you that I flew up to San Francisco
00:16:51to see my husband?
00:16:52Sure.
00:16:53I told my husband that I liked you very much.
00:16:57Oh, you probably want a drink.
00:16:58Oh, would you rather have a cup of coffee?
00:17:00Whatever you say.
00:17:02I'm ready for anything.
00:17:03Well, I sort of feel like a drink myself.
00:17:05I think this calls for a celebration.
00:17:07Will you mix them?
00:17:08I like scotch light with lots of water.
00:17:11Oh, I forgot the tray.
00:17:15Watch out for the cats.
00:17:24Oh.
00:17:36Don't you think this calls for a celebration?
00:17:39What does exactly?
00:17:40My husband has agreed to pay off the $30,000 in debt.
00:17:43That's what does exactly.
00:17:45Isn't that wonderful?
00:17:46Sounds pretty good.
00:17:47Aren't you surprised?
00:17:49I just fell down.
00:17:50Stiff with shock.
00:17:51I thought this was the only thing that was holding up the deal.
00:17:54As far as you're concerned, the deal's settled.
00:17:56Well, you certainly gave me the impression that this would settle.
00:18:06You should honk about giving impressions.
00:18:10When do the debts get paid off?
00:18:12Providing I agree.
00:18:13Well, not all at once, of course.
00:18:15We'll make an allotment for them and pay them off as we go along.
00:18:18That's fair enough, isn't it?
00:18:19Out of those $50,000 chunks?
00:18:21Yes.
00:18:22You can't expect my husband to put up any more money, can you?
00:18:26I'll buy that.
00:18:28To our partnership.
00:18:31Starting tonight.
00:18:38I feel just luscious.
00:18:42Oh, uh...
00:18:43How much insurance do you have?
00:18:45Insurance?
00:18:46Yes, you know, life insurance.
00:18:48Carried by the corporation to protect all the money that's invested in it.
00:18:52Just in case.
00:18:54$35,000 last time I looked.
00:18:56Oh.
00:18:57Well, that isn't very much.
00:19:00It's $35,000 more than I carry in my cell.
00:19:03My husband was very specific about the insurance.
00:19:06Keyman Insurance, it's called.
00:19:08Keyman?
00:19:09Yes.
00:19:10For instance, I couldn't have the corporation take it out on me because...
00:19:14Well, anybody can sell real estate.
00:19:16Well, anybody can sell real estate.
00:19:18In San Diego?
00:19:19Oh, stop it.
00:19:21What I mean is it would be perfectly simple to find another real estate man to take my place.
00:19:26But nobody could take my place, huh?
00:19:28Oh, no.
00:19:29And not build those nice little houses as cheaply as you can.
00:19:33You design them.
00:19:34You know, the material that goes into them.
00:19:36Where to get the material, what kind of labor to hire.
00:19:40Well, they're just like your babies.
00:19:42You seem to know a good bit about it.
00:19:44Well, my husband explained it to me very carefully.
00:19:48Goodness, that's all we do.
00:19:50Talk business.
00:19:53You mean that's all you ever do?
00:19:56More or less.
00:19:59And you like that?
00:20:01I don't mind.
00:20:03Well, if you ever want to get away from the office water cooler and live it up a little...
00:20:09Maybe a little music will get this party airborne.
00:20:15Mr. Shaw.
00:20:16Now, that sounds formal.
00:20:17Edward.
00:20:19How much insurance do you think we ought to have?
00:20:22How much does your husband think we ought to have?
00:20:24Quite a lot. After all, it's a huge investment.
00:20:26He was talking about 300,000.
00:20:30Oh, but I insisted that premiums would be too high.
00:20:32He agreed to take off 50,000.
00:20:36Leaving a quarter of a million?
00:20:38Yes.
00:20:40That's not too high, is it?
00:20:43No.
00:20:44Not if you're a mountain goat.
00:20:48I'll see you around.
00:20:50Where are you going?
00:20:52Look, Mrs. Hillman, I'm wise.
00:20:55Now that I'm hooked, I'm supposed to agree to anything, isn't that it?
00:20:58Hooked?
00:21:00First the pool and the swimming suit.
00:21:02Now this teepee and the wall paint.
00:21:04This is one scalp you don't get.
00:21:06You can't talk to me like that.
00:21:07I'm doing it.
00:21:09And here's another thing.
00:21:10Nobody's getting rich when I show.
00:21:12Not even if they give me that laugh.
00:21:15Don't touch me, you're horrible.
00:21:17And you're wonderful.
00:21:20But not to do business with.
00:21:22Get out of this apartment.
00:21:25That's me you hear whistling in the street.
00:21:40Come on.
00:22:10Come on.
00:23:10I can see you too, Edward.
00:23:40What were you doing?
00:23:41Walking.
00:23:43I couldn't sleep either.
00:23:49It was a terrible thing to accuse me of.
00:23:52I know.
00:23:54It doesn't have to be a quarter of a million dollars.
00:23:56I know that too.
00:24:01$200,000.
00:24:03That's a lot of money.
00:24:04It's a lot of money.
00:24:05It's a lot of money.
00:24:06It's a lot of money.
00:24:07It's a lot of money.
00:24:09$200,000?
00:24:11$150,000.
00:24:13$150,000?
00:24:18My husband will never agree to it.
00:24:22Who cares what your husband agrees to?
00:24:29Don't.
00:24:30Please don't.
00:24:35$200,000?
00:24:38Please, darling.
00:24:42$175,000.
00:24:55That's all.
00:24:57For now.
00:25:02Hey, when am I going to see you again?
00:25:03How about this morning at 10 o'clock?
00:25:05Where?
00:25:06Pearson's office?
00:25:07Why?
00:25:09Meet my husband.
00:25:10He's coming in on the early plane.
00:25:18Now let's be sensible, Mr. Shaw.
00:25:21If you were a banker,
00:25:22I came to you and asked for a loan of $500,000.
00:25:25Would you allow me to put up $175,000 security?
00:25:28That's a different thing.
00:25:29Yes, it's a different proposition.
00:25:30I know, but the principle is the same.
00:25:32Let me finish, Mr. Shaw.
00:25:34I don't ask and I don't expect
00:25:36to get full security the way a bank does.
00:25:39But I do ask and expect 50%.
00:25:44Yeah, but do you get it?
00:25:49I see your point.
00:25:51That's a good question.
00:25:53You've done business before, my boy.
00:25:56Do I get it?
00:25:59All right, Pearson, where do I sign?
00:26:02Right here, sir.
00:26:04Top line.
00:26:06Hello.
00:26:07Miss Adams said I should come right in.
00:26:08I'm sorry I'm late,
00:26:09but Madge and I have been shopping.
00:26:10Mr. Shaw wants you to meet her.
00:26:11Come on in, Madge.
00:26:13This is Mr. Pearson,
00:26:14whom I don't believe you've met,
00:26:15and Mr. Shaw.
00:26:16This is my kid sister, Madge.
00:26:17How do you do?
00:26:19Hello, Mr. Hillman.
00:26:20I'm glad to see you, Madge.
00:26:21Nice to meet you, Miss...
00:26:22Neelan.
00:26:23Doris always forgets.
00:26:24Hello.
00:26:26You run along now, honey.
00:26:27I'll catch up with you in about an hour.
00:26:29Glad to have met you, Mr. Shaw.
00:26:31Same here.
00:26:32Doris tells me you design houses
00:26:33and they're wonderful.
00:26:34You see, I studied commercial art
00:26:35and I think design...
00:26:36Not just now, dear.
00:26:37We're in the middle of a business conference.
00:26:39Oh.
00:26:40Sorry, Doris.
00:26:41I didn't know you asked me
00:26:42and just as a magnanimous gesture.
00:26:44Now, Madge...
00:26:49You know, one of these days
00:26:50when you introduce me to somebody,
00:26:51I'm actually going to finish
00:26:52a sentence about myself.
00:26:54That is, if you happen to lose your voice.
00:26:56No, you're not going to stand
00:26:57in the outdoor box, are you?
00:26:59Stand you up?
00:27:00I'd rather strangle myself.
00:27:05Doris, she gets more like you every day.
00:27:07Now, where's that line, Pearson?
00:27:08Right there on the top, sir.
00:27:10You mean we're signing now?
00:27:12Yes.
00:27:13We'd have signed long ago
00:27:14if you hadn't spent so much time shopping.
00:27:16Four closets full of clothes
00:27:17and all she ever wears is a bathing suit.
00:27:19Here.
00:27:23Well, come on, Doris.
00:27:24Shaw and I ought to be down
00:27:25at the insurance company now.
00:27:35What's the matter with you?
00:27:36Give Shaw the pen.
00:27:48Women.
00:27:50I guess Madge really did upset her.
00:28:04I don't know.
00:28:05I don't know.
00:28:35Hello.
00:28:36I bet you're surprised.
00:28:38I'm Madge, remember?
00:28:39Oh, sure, I remember.
00:28:40Doris said she'd be about an hour late.
00:28:42She asked me to meet you
00:28:43and said for us to go ahead and eat.
00:28:44You two have made up, huh?
00:28:45A waiter.
00:28:46Two, please.
00:29:09You didn't think I was really sore, did you?
00:29:11Doris and I go on like that all the time.
00:29:14May I call you Edward?
00:29:15Sure.
00:29:17I'll have the beef stew and coffee.
00:29:20I'll just have a chef's salad and coffee later.
00:29:23Doris is such a wonderful girl.
00:29:25Of course, she treats me like a baby.
00:29:29How old are you?
00:29:30Almost 22.
00:29:31I have my own studio apartment.
00:29:33Nice.
00:29:34I'm not as strong as Doris.
00:29:35I guess that's the trouble.
00:29:37See, I'm sensitive, so she dominates me.
00:29:39Even when she had a tragedy.
00:29:40A real tragedy in her first marriage.
00:29:42Didn't bother her a bit.
00:29:44What first marriage?
00:29:46Oh, I thought you knew.
00:29:48Oh, she'll brain me if she finds out I told you.
00:29:53But I just detest people
00:29:54who start to tell you something
00:29:55and then don't finish it, don't you?
00:29:57I think it's just cruel.
00:29:59Yeah.
00:30:03Well, Doris married a man named Narleski
00:30:05when she was 18.
00:30:06She met him down in Mexico
00:30:07when he was on a toot.
00:30:09What happened?
00:30:11Did he toot too much?
00:30:12You're laughing at me.
00:30:14That's an old word my mother used to use.
00:30:16No, he was killed.
00:30:17A real tragedy.
00:30:19One night he fell asleep while he was driving
00:30:20and drove off a bridge.
00:30:22Up in Wyoming somewhere.
00:30:24That didn't bother Doris.
00:30:26Well, she outmarried Hillman.
00:30:28Mr. Hillman was Narleski's business partner.
00:30:31That's how Mr. Hillman
00:30:32happened to come into all the money.
00:30:34The insurance, I mean.
00:30:37Life insurance?
00:30:38Yes.
00:30:39Oh, a fabulous amount.
00:30:41Way up in the hundreds of thousands.
00:30:43Narleski was a uranium exporter or something and...
00:30:49What's the matter?
00:30:51Pay the check, will you?
00:30:55Mr. Shaw!
00:30:57What did I do?
00:30:58Did I say something that offended you?
00:31:00No, no, no. You were fine.
00:31:02Tell me something.
00:31:04You got a cousin that lives in Pasadena?
00:31:06Oh, I don't think so.
00:31:07Cousin Evie lives in one of my houses.
00:31:09No, cousin Evie lives in Portland.
00:31:12Thanks.
00:31:13Oh, Mr. Shaw.
00:31:14I mean Edward.
00:31:15Will you do me a favor and not tell Doris I was here?
00:31:17She just asked me to phone you
00:31:18and tell you she couldn't make it and I...
00:31:27I couldn't find anybody to send for it, Mr. Shaw,
00:31:29so I went out for it myself.
00:31:31Anything else right now?
00:31:33How much money has Hillman given us so far?
00:31:35Ten to start with.
00:31:37Three checks for two, five.
00:31:39Seventeen, five.
00:31:41When's the rest of the first 50,000 due?
00:31:44You want some of this paint?
00:31:45No, thanks.
00:31:46It's due June 1st, if you haven't changed it.
00:31:51And today's May 22nd, huh?
00:31:53Yes.
00:31:57Nine days.
00:31:59Has something happened, Mr. Shaw?
00:32:01No, not yet.
00:32:03But you can count on it the next nine days.
00:32:08Tell me, Mary.
00:32:11Do I strike you as a...
00:32:13suspicious type character?
00:32:16I mean, say, a guy who wouldn't trust his own mother with a skate key?
00:32:20No, Mr. Shaw.
00:32:22You're not just saying that because you work here.
00:32:25Oh, come on, Mary, be frank.
00:32:26Have some guts.
00:32:28You'll lose your job, but have some guts.
00:32:38Yeah, that's me.
00:32:40Suspicious character.
00:32:42I peep over my accountant's shoulder when he's signing the checks.
00:32:46Cop gives me a ticket and I wonder if he's really a cop.
00:32:49I want to lock the office every time I go out in the hall because of this.
00:32:56Shaw Incorporated.
00:32:58Just a moment, please.
00:33:00It's Mrs. Hillman.
00:33:05Hi.
00:33:06Darling, I'm sorry I couldn't make lunch.
00:33:08Did Madge phone you?
00:33:09Yeah.
00:33:10I was up on the hill looking at some property and there was no phone.
00:33:12Madge wanted the car, so I let her have it.
00:33:14Darling, the property's just what we want.
00:33:17Really?
00:33:18Put those darling houses on it and they're gonna sell for a fortune.
00:33:21You've just got to see it.
00:33:28Sorry Mary was in here.
00:33:31You mean right now?
00:33:32Well, of course.
00:33:33I'm in a gas station on the corner of Barham and Cuenca.
00:33:35You can make it in 15 minutes.
00:33:38I'm tied up now.
00:33:40Darling, what's the matter?
00:33:42You just heard it. I'm tied up.
00:33:44But at least we could look at the property together and we'll spend a little time.
00:33:48Maybe I'm sick of sneaking around when he's home.
00:33:52Getting five minutes here with you, ten minutes there.
00:33:55But he's going away soon, darling.
00:33:57Listen, you've got to see the property tomorrow morning or we may lose it.
00:34:01Shall I pick you up?
00:34:04Yeah, here. Early.
00:34:07Bye.
00:34:08Bye.
00:34:28Gee, you scare easily. The brakes just slipped, that's all.
00:34:32Brakes slipped?
00:34:33I'll get Mr. Hanauer. He promised to show us around.
00:34:58THE END
00:35:23Can I help you?
00:35:25This is going to sound funny.
00:35:27Go ahead, maybe it won't.
00:35:30Somebody's trying to kill me.
00:35:33You know who or are you just guessing?
00:35:37Look, I didn't come in here to cut up.
00:35:40It's a 53 Pontiac, Hoffie.
00:35:42Blue convertible.
00:35:46Hey, maybe you didn't hear me.
00:35:48I heard you.
00:35:50I heard you got an engine number.
00:35:51No.
00:35:54Look, if you know who, maybe we can help you.
00:35:57If you don't, what can we do?
00:36:01If you're still trying to cut up...
00:36:02Look, how many people do you think come in here just like you who say somebody's trying to kill them?
00:36:08How many?
00:36:09How would I know?
00:36:10Four or five a week.
00:36:11Sometimes three in one day.
00:36:14Not one of them that I know of has been hurt yet.
00:36:17Fred, dig out that Collins file for me, will you?
00:36:25Think it over for a minute.
00:36:27See if you got anything real to go on.
00:36:39Lieutenant Hoff will talk to you.
00:36:42Uh-uh.
00:36:44That door.
00:36:49Where did this death in Wyoming take place?
00:36:51I don't know.
00:36:54You see, Shaw, nothing.
00:36:57All you've got to go on is the word of a 21-year-old girl.
00:37:01And this car thing.
00:37:03Maybe Mrs. Hillman wasn't lying.
00:37:04Maybe the brakes were slipping.
00:37:08Maybe I'm going nuts, too.
00:37:10Maybe this isn't even a police station.
00:37:11Shaw.
00:37:14Look.
00:37:16I don't know.
00:37:17Shaw.
00:37:20Look.
00:37:22You understand our position, don't you?
00:37:24I mean, we get this kind of thing shoved in our faces all day long.
00:37:27Most of them are crackpots.
00:37:30You know why I talk to you?
00:37:34Tell me, Uncle Jack.
00:37:36All right. Let's simmer down, partner.
00:37:39I talk to you because you don't look like a crackpot.
00:37:42You don't sound like a crackpot. That's why.
00:37:44But I'm acting like one.
00:37:45I didn't say that.
00:37:46But that's the idea.
00:37:47All right.
00:37:48Well, look up, Hillman, for you.
00:37:50How's that?
00:37:51Now, where can I get in touch with you?
00:37:57Wrap twice in my coffin.
00:38:02A stumble-bum with a champ's mouth, huh?
00:38:04Catch him. Get his address.
00:38:05Right.
00:38:08And write out a squeal on him.
00:38:09Okay.
00:38:17Nothing wrong with these brakes.
00:38:19Stops in a dime, stays there.
00:38:21Thanks.
00:38:22Want to try it yourself?
00:38:23No, no, no.
00:38:24I told the owner I'd bring it right back.
00:38:26After the test.
00:38:35Oh, there you are.
00:38:39Mrs. Hillman's been trying to call you.
00:38:41Oh.
00:38:42There you are.
00:38:45Mrs. Hillman's been trying to reach you all afternoon.
00:38:47She wants you to meet her at Mountain Lodge tomorrow night
00:38:50to close the deal on that lake property.
00:38:52Do you want me for anything else?
00:38:54No, thanks, Mary.
00:38:55Good night.
00:38:56Good night.
00:39:12Good night.
00:39:42Good night.
00:40:09I was hoping I'd find you here.
00:40:12I just had to see you.
00:40:14I bet you think I'm awful.
00:40:16Why would I think that?
00:40:18I lied to you.
00:40:19An outright lie about Doris being late for lunch that day.
00:40:22You probably think all the rest were lies, too.
00:40:27Were they?
00:40:28Of course not.
00:40:29But you couldn't tell whether I was a big liar or not.
00:40:33What are you typing?
00:40:35Typing?
00:40:36Yes. I heard you as I was coming in.
00:40:38Peck and pray.
00:40:39It's just an office memo.
00:40:41A likely story.
00:40:42Groucho says that on TV all the time.
00:40:44If it's just an office memo, why are you hiding it?
00:40:48I'm not hiding it.
00:40:52Let's get out of here.
00:40:57Come on.
00:40:58I bet it's a love letter.
00:40:59I just love to read other people's love letters, don't you?
00:41:06You see? You were hiding it.
00:41:08I wasn't going to read it. I just wanted to find out.
00:41:12Funny thing.
00:41:15I believe you.
00:41:18How about a nice big juicy steak?
00:41:20Oh, I'd love it.
00:41:22Oh, I just remembered something.
00:41:24What?
00:41:25I just had a nice big thick juicy steak.
00:41:38THE END
00:42:08THE END
00:42:38Wait till you hear this one.
00:42:40I'd like to, but I'd better take off.
00:42:42It's almost three.
00:42:44Oh, it is?
00:42:45First it's nine and then whoosh, it's almost three.
00:42:48Where does the time go?
00:42:50Yeah.
00:42:54I wonder.
00:42:57You'd better go. I'll get your coat.
00:43:08THE END
00:43:39THE END
00:43:52You sore about something?
00:43:54Unhappy?
00:43:57That's plain miserable, huh?
00:44:00I have to go up the mountains and meet Doris tomorrow to close the deal.
00:44:04I'll call you as soon as I get back.
00:44:06All right.
00:44:08THE END
00:44:38THE END
00:44:48Darling, oh, it's so good to see you.
00:44:52Where'd you get the car?
00:44:53I rented it.
00:44:54We're gonna have dinner with Collins tonight.
00:44:56We should be able to close the deal.
00:44:57I was gonna leave you a note.
00:44:58Yeah?
00:44:59I tore it up.
00:45:00I thought it'd be more fun to tell you myself.
00:45:03I've got a surprise for you, too.
00:45:05I bet.
00:45:09THE END
00:45:22You were just great, you know.
00:45:24I'm so proud of you.
00:45:25We've got our first piece of property and it's just at your price, too.
00:45:32Hey, watch it, will ya?
00:45:34Where are we going?
00:45:35That's the surprise.
00:45:36To our cabin.
00:45:37What do you mean, our cabin?
00:45:39Mine and my husband's.
00:45:40It's way up on the top of the mountain, the very top.
00:45:43You can look down and see for miles and miles.
00:45:46Well, that's great.
00:45:48Let's go.
00:46:07THE END
00:46:19Something the matter?
00:46:21No.
00:46:27You manage everyone up here?
00:46:29Sure, lots of times.
00:46:30But for goodness sakes, why?
00:46:32I just wondered.
00:46:33I bet she comes running to you with the troubles all the time.
00:46:36Not her.
00:46:37She's too independent and stubborn.
00:46:39Come on.
00:46:52How do you like it?
00:46:56Not bad.
00:46:58Come on.
00:47:07THE END
00:47:09Scary, isn't it?
00:47:11We used to have a porch built out over there, but nobody felt comfortable on it.
00:47:14One of these days I'm going to put a great big picture window there.
00:47:19What's the matter?
00:47:26Come here, I want to show you something else.
00:47:27No, thanks.
00:47:29I'm quite comfortable right here.
00:47:31What's been the matter with you lately, Edward?
00:47:34How lately?
00:47:35I'm serious, darling.
00:47:37Nothing that I know of.
00:47:39Why?
00:47:40You've been avoiding me, even when I see you.
00:47:43It's not the same.
00:47:45That's logical.
00:47:47Nothing stands still, Doris.
00:47:49But I don't want it to stand still.
00:47:51I want it to grow.
00:47:53So that nothing can stop it.
00:47:55Not you, nor me, nor anybody.
00:47:57But most of all, not you nor me.
00:48:00I thought you might like some coffee.
00:48:02It's good on a cold night like this.
00:48:03I brought some cookies, too.
00:48:05What are you doing here?
00:48:07I was worried about you, darling.
00:48:09I wanted to see how you and Shaw were getting along.
00:48:13Black or white?
00:48:15You got any brandy?
00:48:18Not here.
00:48:19Cream will do.
00:48:21Enough?
00:48:22That's fine.
00:48:26You forgot the sugar.
00:48:28Oh, so I did.
00:48:29I forgot.
00:48:31Oh, Doris.
00:48:33Of course, it should be ladies first.
00:48:35I forget whether you take cream or sugar.
00:48:37It's been so long since we've had breakfast together.
00:48:42Doris.
00:48:44We're all civilized people.
00:48:46Sit down.
00:48:47We might as well be comfortable.
00:48:49What do you want, Gus?
00:48:51An understanding.
00:48:53If this partnership is to continue,
00:48:55it's going to be a long one.
00:48:56If this partnership is to continue,
00:48:59it's to be confined to business hours.
00:49:02That's pretty clear, isn't it?
00:49:04Pretty clear.
00:49:06Wouldn't you say it was, Doris?
00:49:08Please, Edward, will you shut up?
00:49:13Yep.
00:49:15That was pretty clear to her.
00:49:23Well, I must be running.
00:49:24Don't finish your coffee. Have a cookie.
00:49:26No, thanks.
00:49:33Oh, Mr. Hillman.
00:49:35It was nice of you to come all the way up here
00:49:37just to tell me not to work overtime.
00:49:40Good night.
00:49:54Good night.
00:50:25How did you know I'd come here?
00:50:27Your attitude.
00:50:29What's that got to do with it?
00:50:31You couldn't wait to get Shaw alone.
00:50:33This was the best place.
00:50:35You're drunk.
00:50:37Sure, I've had one or two.
00:50:39It's a long ride up that mountain.
00:50:42It's a long ride down, too.
00:50:46I've got to get going.
00:50:48I've got to get going.
00:50:50I've got to get going.
00:50:52I've got to get going.
00:50:54I've got to get going.
00:51:00That's better.
00:51:02Now you stay here and have some fun with Gus, huh?
00:51:24I've got to get going.
00:51:54I've got to get going.
00:52:24I've got to get going.
00:52:55Now, just what was it
00:52:57I was supposed to have put in the coffee, Mr. Norman?
00:53:00Some kind of a drug, according to Mr. Shaw.
00:53:03That would be funny if it wasn't so serious.
00:53:07Do you realize, Mr. Shaw,
00:53:09that you're accusing me of attempted murder?
00:53:11I sure do.
00:53:13And it's not hard.
00:53:15I'm perfectly willing to do anything I can
00:53:17to clear this matter up.
00:53:19Not only for my own reputation,
00:53:21but for Mr. Shaw's.
00:53:22Peace of mind.
00:53:24I don't want anybody laying awake at night
00:53:26wondering if I'm going to murder them.
00:53:28So it'll help by cancelling the policy?
00:53:31I'll be glad to do it,
00:53:33even though it leaves me out on a limb
00:53:35with a huge investment.
00:53:37The policy is non-cancellable.
00:53:39Yes, I know that.
00:53:41But if the president of your company
00:53:43is willing to cut corners
00:53:45and make an exception in this case,
00:53:47I will cancel the policy.
00:53:49And I'm sure that mostly all companies
00:53:50are willing to cut corners at one time or another.
00:53:52Is that fair enough?
00:53:54Sounds fine to me.
00:53:56Cancel it today?
00:53:58Right now.
00:54:02I'm satisfied.
00:54:04Well, that's fine.
00:54:06You know, Mr. Norman,
00:54:08what's the matter with Mr. Shaw?
00:54:10He suffers from a guilt complex.
00:54:12Oh?
00:54:14He's in love with my wife.
00:54:16Perhaps I should refresh my psychology, Mr. Hillman,
00:54:19but what's that got to do with it,
00:54:21if you get what I mean?
00:54:23He's afraid I might kill him.
00:54:26So he cooked up this story
00:54:28to get your protection.
00:54:30When he and my wife arrived at the cabin,
00:54:32the last person in the world
00:54:34they expected to find there was me.
00:54:36Am I clear?
00:54:38Did you and Mrs. Hillman
00:54:40expect to find Mr. Hillman at the cabin?
00:54:42They thought I was safe and sound in Los Angeles.
00:54:43I can prove it.
00:54:46Is that true?
00:54:49Yeah.
00:54:51I'm sorry, Mr. Shaw,
00:54:53but the policy is non-cancellable
00:54:55and I see no reason to discuss it any further.
00:54:56Hello?
00:54:58Oh, Miss Hillman!
00:55:00No, he ain't.
00:55:02He was here.
00:55:04He was here.
00:55:06I'm sorry.
00:55:08I'm terribly sorry.
00:55:10He was here.
00:55:12I'm sorry.
00:55:14I'm sorry.
00:55:16I'm terribly sorry.
00:55:18I'm sorry.
00:55:20I'm sorry.
00:55:22I'm sorry.
00:55:24I'm sorry.
00:55:26about noon, I'd say, and then he packed in a hurry, I tell you.
00:55:32Yes, packed.
00:55:34Well, he was...
00:55:36Mrs. Hillman?
00:55:49I've called every place, Mrs. Hillman.
00:55:51It's fantastic. He seems to have disappeared completely.
00:55:54Today's the 27th, isn't it?
00:55:55Yes. And he took his thousand dollar bill?
00:55:58I imagine so. When I came back from lunch, he was gone and so was the bill.
00:57:24Hey, Joe, where you been? You're late.
00:58:24Edward.
00:58:30What on earth's the matter with you?
00:58:32Oh, I had a little scare, that's all. I'm all right.
00:58:34You got my message, huh?
00:58:36Yes. I was so glad to hear from you.
00:58:38The maid let me in. Was that all right?
00:58:40Sure.
00:58:42I guess you think I've slipped a cog or two, huh?
00:58:44No.
00:58:48Oh, they sure got themselves a beautiful setup.
00:58:51Insurance policy I can't shake. Police think I'm psycho.
00:58:55It gets to you after a while.
00:58:57Just not knowing where it's coming from or when or what or how.
00:59:00Well, I'm taking that thousand dollar bill and coming up on the other side of the world.
00:59:04No shakes, no cold sweat and no tramps.
00:59:07That's why I wanted to see you, to say goodbye.
00:59:09Why haven't you left before?
00:59:12Is it because you're in love with a tramp?
00:59:15I'm sorry I said that. After all, she is your sister.
00:59:19But you're not in love with her. Are you in love with somebody else?
00:59:22No.
00:59:24Not even a little bit?
00:59:28Maybe. A little bit.
00:59:31And that's why you haven't left?
00:59:34Maybe.
00:59:37Maybe staying is like the thousand dollar bill.
00:59:40Gives me something to cling to.
00:59:50Looks pretty good, doesn't it?
00:59:52Not to me. I think putting that bill in a frame was sheer sentimental drivel.
00:59:57That's cute. Let's hear it again.
01:00:00Here you are about to throw away your whole life by going off to the Australian bush or someplace.
01:00:05And you're going to use that, that thing to do it.
01:00:08What's wrong with that?
01:00:10Can't you use all that money here to fight back at Doris and Mr. Hillman?
01:00:14All I'm fighting here is my nerves.
01:00:18Edward.
01:00:21I'm only 21.
01:00:24And I know when you're 21, you think you know more than anybody else in the world.
01:00:30But I think I know what's wrong with you.
01:00:33You won't stop thinking about it, really.
01:00:37Until you stop running from it.
01:00:39Or I could stay here and keep on being a sitting duck.
01:00:42Well, not if you do something about it.
01:00:44Go see Doris. You can handle her.
01:00:47You mean if I went to her, went back to her, she'd turn on Hillman?
01:00:51If there was a, you know, a showdown between you and Doris and Mr. Hillman, she would.
01:00:56And then the whole plot would come out.
01:00:58And if Doris turned against him, Mr. Hillman wouldn't dare do anything.
01:01:02Just how do we get the showdown?
01:01:04Well...
01:01:07If Hillman sees you and Doris together...
01:01:10Where? On a trip or someplace?
01:01:12Well, why not a trip? Las Vegas or anyplace.
01:01:16Using what for money?
01:01:43Where is he?
01:01:47I'll take you to him.
01:01:49Why did he send me this?
01:01:52He said with you money talked.
01:01:55Really?
01:01:57He also said that you could choose the place and spend the money any way you liked.
01:02:03Providing, of course, that he spends it with you.
01:02:06But why? Didn't he think I was trying to do away with him?
01:02:09Of course not. He never suspected you at all.
01:02:12He thought Mr. Hillman was trying to...
01:02:15But why didn't he call me direct?
01:02:19Well, I'll have to run along.
01:02:23I'll be late for class. Doris, will you run me down to school?
01:02:27Honey, I can't. I'm late.
01:02:29Here, take a cab and run. Gus is in Chicago and I've got to call Pearson.
01:02:33Oh, okay.
01:02:39I'll see you later.
01:03:09I'll see you later.
01:03:39I'll see you later.
01:04:09I'll see you later.
01:04:39What happened to Las Vegas? Did it move?
01:04:53What?
01:04:54We're headed toward Big Bear country.
01:04:56Come on, let's make the light.
01:05:09What's bothering you?
01:05:10Now or then?
01:05:12Then.
01:05:13Las Vegas. You're about 35 miles wrong.
01:05:16I must have taken the wrong road.
01:05:21Ask me what's bothering me now.
01:05:24Why ask what I already know?
01:05:26Your cabin, huh?
01:05:28Yes.
01:05:29No roulette, no dice, no big flowing dresses?
01:05:32No.
01:05:34No husband?
01:05:36Gus is in Chicago. You know that.
01:05:38I only know what you tell me.
01:05:40And?
01:05:41Tell me more.
01:05:43Just tonight, Edward.
01:05:45Up there it's like being on top of the world.
01:05:48We could go to Vegas tomorrow.
01:05:54Go on, drive.
01:06:24And we thought if Edward and Doris went away together,
01:06:37and we let Hillman know they were away together,
01:06:39well, that would do it.
01:06:41Do what?
01:06:42Well, play Hillman and Doris against each other.
01:06:44I know Doris.
01:06:45And if she got mad enough at Hillman, she'd tell Edward everything.
01:06:48Split and conquer, huh?
01:06:50Yes.
01:06:51So?
01:06:52Now Shaw is in Las Vegas.
01:06:54Only Mrs. Hillman knows that he suspects her,
01:06:57so she'll know he's trying to trick her.
01:06:59Shaw hasn't shown up at the Sands yet, Hoffie.
01:07:01Neither has that Hillman dame. Sorry, miss.
01:07:03What about Mr. Hillman?
01:07:04Well, he checked out early this morning.
01:07:06Was asking the airlines about getting him to Big Bear.
01:07:08Big Bear? Not Vegas?
01:07:09He and Doris have a cabin up near there.
01:07:11Oh, yeah, this.
01:07:12The life insurance people just called it to me over the phone.
01:07:15Miles Norman's office.
01:07:16From Laramie, Wyoming.
01:07:18Now, Lesky fell asleep and drove off bridge 12 miles north of here.
01:07:22Reopening case to confirm suspicion of sleeping pills.
01:07:25Details later.
01:07:42It's beautiful, isn't it?
01:07:44I might even ask you to drink it out of my slipper.
01:07:48Champagne's for good things.
01:07:51Here's to fun.
01:07:56And to love.
01:08:01What's the matter, Edward?
01:08:05What's wrong?
01:08:07You're not going to spoil our little party?
01:08:09Our party was spoiled a long time ago.
01:08:13It's happened to me like this since I was a kid.
01:08:16Something nice happens and it always manages to get messed up.
01:08:21What's wrong, Edward?
01:08:23We've sneaked around too many corners, I guess.
01:08:26I just like to walk down the street once in the sunlight.
01:08:29But we've had a wonderful time the past few weeks.
01:08:32The best I've ever had.
01:08:33Something that could go on forever.
01:08:35You feel that way just as I do.
01:08:37You know, it's a shame.
01:08:39We'd be awful good together.
01:08:41If only I could trust you.
01:08:45Is trust something that you wrap up in a package and give to the person you love?
01:08:49Or is it in my eyes, in my heart?
01:08:53Read my heart, Edward.
01:08:56I'm trying, Doris.
01:08:57But they're things.
01:08:59Things like, why did we come to the cabin?
01:09:01Edward, listen, I was just trying to test you.
01:09:04I wanted to get rid of Gus so that we could be alone.
01:09:06So that I could make you love me like I love you.
01:09:09You're lying, Doris.
01:09:10I'm not lying, Edward.
01:09:12Doris, all of it lies.
01:09:15Edward.
01:09:17I love you.
01:09:32Darling, this is all I've wanted.
01:09:34This is all I've ever wanted.
01:09:36Just you, Edward.
01:09:43And we could stay here forever.
01:09:46Yes, forever, darling.
01:09:52What about Gus?
01:09:55Gus?
01:09:57Edward, we've got to get away from here quickly.
01:09:59Why?
01:10:00Gus, he's coming here. He'll be here any time.
01:10:03Tonight?
01:10:04Yes.
01:10:05Then it was going to be tonight.
01:10:06Yes, but it's all changed now.
01:10:08Please, Edward, let's go.
01:10:10I am going.
01:10:11Alone.
01:10:12But, Edward, you love me. You told me you love me.
01:10:14Tell me, Doris, how does it feel to kiss someone you're planning to kill?
01:10:16Are the lips sweeter when you know you'll be the last to kiss them?
01:10:20Are they?
01:10:21No, Edward.
01:10:22Tell the truth for a change.
01:10:23Tell me how much you love me when your husband fed me dope.
01:10:26Do you love me more than you love Narleski?
01:10:28Tell me, do you?
01:10:29Please, please, Edward.
01:10:30Come on, talk.
01:10:32Tell me how much our love will grow and grow.
01:10:34Keep telling me until you kill me.
01:10:37You're not fit to live.
01:10:39Oh, no, Edward.
01:10:40Edward.
01:10:41Edward, where are you going?
01:10:42I'm getting out of here while I'm still alive.
01:10:45Edward, please don't leave me.
01:10:47Edward.
01:10:52Put down that gun.
01:11:04Oh, Edward.
01:11:06Edward, I didn't mean to, but you were leaving me, Edward.
01:11:09I'm sorry.
01:11:10Please forgive me, darling.
01:11:16What's happened here?
01:11:17Is he dead?
01:11:19No, he's alive.
01:11:22You idiot.
01:11:23Why did you shoot him?
01:11:24You spoiled everything.
01:11:25Oh, Edward, darling.
01:11:26Pull yourself together.
01:11:27Stop that.
01:11:28I've shot him.
01:11:29Can't you see?
01:11:31You loved him a great deal, didn't you?
01:11:36Does anybody know you brought him here?
01:11:39Good.
01:11:40That's perfect.
01:11:41A lover's rendezvous.
01:11:44Ending in a suicide.
01:11:46A double suicide.
01:11:49What?
01:11:50You're a clever girl, Dory.
01:11:52You know that a woman might kill her lover when he threatens to leave her and then follow him herself later.
01:11:58Gus, you're horrible.
01:12:00Yeah.
01:12:01We're a pair, aren't we, Dory?
01:12:03It's too bad you couldn't have remembered that.
01:12:10No.
01:12:25No.
01:12:28No.
01:12:39No.
01:13:10No.
01:13:36Shaw, you all right?
01:13:39Shaw.
01:13:41Here.
01:13:44Let me give you a hand.
01:13:53Dribble.
01:13:56Who needs dribbling anymore?
01:14:02Get his head.
01:14:10Come on.
01:14:20Want to tell me what you're thinking?
01:14:24Eyes and mouth.
01:14:26Oh.
01:14:27What's that?
01:14:31Feelings you get.
01:14:34But just from certain people.
01:14:37Oh.
01:14:39Yeah.
01:14:43Doris was practical.
01:14:45She liked men.
01:14:46She liked money.
01:14:48No nonsense.
01:14:52I never met anybody like her.
01:14:56Things may be a lot different than you think.
01:15:01Go to sleep.
