{1629}{1733}I shall never forget|the weekend Laura died.{1735}{1872}A silver sun burned through the sky|like a huge magnifying glass.{1874}{1975}It was the hottest Sunday|in my recollection.{1977}{2074}I felt as if I were the only human being|left in New York.{2118}{2201}For with Laura's|horrible death, I was alone.{2237}{2307}I, Waldo Lydecker...{2309}{2381}was the only one|who really knew her...{2419}{2517}and I hadjust begun|to write Laura's story when...{2520}{2598}another of those detectives|came to see me.{2624}{2671}I had him wait.{2746}{2812}I could watch him|through the half-open door.{3137}{3208}I noted that his attention|was fixed upon my clock.{3239}{3295}There was only one other|in existence...{3297}{3361}and that was|in Laura's apartment...{3364}{3433}in the very room|where she was murdered.{3535}{3602}Careful there.|That stuff is priceless.{3631}{3678}Come in here, please.{3841}{3886}Mr. Lydecker?{3889}{3945}Ah, you recognize me.|How splendid.{3948}{3995}Sit down, please.{4068}{4122}Nice little place|you have here, Mr. Lydecker.{4125}{4200}It's lavish,|but I call it home.{4203}{4276}I suppose you're here|about the Laura Hunt murder.{4279}{4332}Yesterday morning,|after Laura's body was found...

{4334}{4413}I was questioned|by Sergeants McAvity and Schultz...{4415}{4462}and I stated...{4465}{4540}"On Friday night, Laura had a dinner|engagement with me...{4542}{4622}"after which she was ostensibly|going out of town.{4625}{4724}"She phoned and canceled|our engagement at exactly 7:00.{4726}{4773}- After that I-''|- You "ate a lonely dinner...{4775}{4853}then got into the tub to read.''{4855}{4901}Why did you|write it down?{4903}{4957}Afraid you'd forget it?{4959}{5045}I am the most widely|misquoted man in America.{5048}{5108}When my friends do it,|I resent it.{5110}{5191}From Sergeants McAvity and Schultz,|I should find it intolerable.{5193}{5258}Hand me that washcloth,|please, Mr.-

{5261}{5313}Mr.-{5316}{5361}McPherson.{5364}{5429}McPherson. McPherson.{5431}{5497}Mark McPherson-|the siege of Babylon, Long Island.{5500}{5557}The gangster with the machine gun.|Killed three policemen.{5559}{5618}I told the story over the air|and wrote a column about it.{5621}{5668}Are you the one|with the leg full oflead...{5670}{5725}- the man who walked right in and got him?|- Yeah.{5727}{5793}Well, well.|Hand me my robe, please.{5897}{5963}You have a pretty good memory,|Mr. Lydecker.{5965}{6057}I always liked that detective|with the silver shinbone.{6059}{6161}Thanks. I hope you won't have any reason|to change your mind about me.

{6163}{6234}- Have you any more questions?|- Yeah,just one.{6237}{6295}Two years ago,|in your October 17 column...{6297}{6349}you started out|to write a book review...{6352}{6437}but at the bottom of the column, you|switched over to the Harringtonmurder case.{6440}{6540}Are the processes of the creative mind|now under thejurisdiction ofthe police?{6542}{6657}You said Harrington was rubbed out with|a shotgun loaded with buckshot...{6659}{6725}the way Laura Hunt was murdered|night before last.

{6728}{6773}- Did I?|- Yeah.{6776}{6847}But he was really killed|with a sash weight.{6849}{6943}How ordinary.|My version was obviously superior.{6945}{6993}I never bother|with details, you know.{6995}{7065}I do. Well, so long.{7091}{7149}Mind if I go with you?{7151}{7233}- What for?|- Murder is my favorite crime.{7236}{7284}I write about it regularly...{7287}{7360}and I know you'll have to visit everyone|on your list of suspects.{7385}{7435}I'd like to study|their reactions.{7437}{7504}- You're on the list yourself, you know.|- Good.{7506}{7589}To have overlooked me|would have been a pointed insult.{7592}{7680}You're not the sort of man|one would insult, Mr. Lydecker.{7682}{7753}- Do you really suspect me?|- Yes.{7755}{7851}McPherson, if you know anything|about faces, look at mine.{7912}{7987}How singularly innocent|I look this morning.{7989}{8061}Have you ever seen|such candid eyes?{8174}{8250}Something you confiscated|in a raid on a kindergarten?{8253}{8353}Takes a lot of control.|Would you like to try it?{8356}{8412}No, thanks.{8414}{8481}Were you in love|with Laura Hunt, Mr. Lydecker?{8549}{8601}Was she in love with you?{8604}{8660}Laura considered me|the wisest, the wittiest...{8662}{8735}the most interesting man|she'd ever met.

{8737}{8802}I was in complete accord|with her on that point.{8828}{8876}She thought me also|the kindest...{8878}{8930}the gentlest...{8933}{8990}the most sympathetic man|in the world.{8993}{9054}Did you agree|with her there too?{9057}{9113}McPherson,|you won't understand this...{9144}{9228}but I tried to become|the kindest, the gentlest...{9254}{9305}the most sympathetic man|in the world.{9308}{9366}Have any luck?{9369}{9444}Let me put it this way.{9447}{9554}I should be sincerely sorry to see my|neighbors' children devoured by wolves.{9557}{9604}Shall we go?

{10162}{10216}- Good morning, Lieutenant.|- Good morning, Mrs. Treadwell.{10218}{10264}- Waldo.|- Good morning, Ann.{10266}{10345}- I've just taken over the Laura Hunt case.|- Won't you sit down?{10347}{10403}Thanks. I have|all the reports...{10405}{10461}but there are a few more questions|I'd like to ask.{10464}{10511}Certainly. I'll do anything|I can to help.{10513}{10562}You were fond of your niece,|Mrs. Treadwell?{10565}{10612}Why, I adored her.|Cigarette?{10615}{10683}No, thanks. You collapsed when|you identified the body.{10685}{10782}I can quite understand that. A shotgun|loaded with buckshot, closerange.{10785}{10859}- It's not very nice to look at.|- It was horrible.{10861}{10924}Her maid Bessie, I suppose|she was devoted to Miss Hunt?

{10926}{11005}Oh, she worshipped her.|Laura had had her for years.{11007}{11082}I'll never forget her scream|when she saw Laura lying there.{11085}{11179}Did you approve of Miss Hunt's coming|marriage to Mr. Carpenter?{11181}{11268}Why? Shouldn't I approve?{11271}{11368}I don't know. What is your relationship|with Mr. Carpenter?{11371}{11418}What do you mean?{11421}{11492}What I mean is, he's been|a frequent guest in your home.{11495}{11559}Is he an acquaintance? Friend?|Are you in love with him?{11561}{11616}This is beginning to assume|fabulous aspects.{11618}{11684}Oh, shut up, Waldo!|What are you driving at?


3/24

{11686}{11753}The truth, Mrs. Treadwell.|Are you in love with him?{11809}{11904}Why, no. I'm- I'm very fond|of Mr. Carpenter, of course.{11907}{11962}- Everybody is.|- I'm not. I'll be hanged if I am.{11965}{12021}Oh, don't be|so annoying, Waldo!{12024}{12071}Did you give|Mr. Carpenter money?{12073}{12171}- What do you mean?|- A couple of checks went through your accountendorsed by him.{12173}{12287}One on May 15 for $250.|One on May 22 for $400.{12289}{12366}Oh, that. I-{12369}{12433}I asked him to do|some shopping for me. That's all.{12436}{12483}Shelby's a very obliging fellow.{12485}{12575}For some time, also, you've been|withdrawing various amounts in cash.{12577}{12627}Sometimes 1,500.{12654}{12700}Sometimes 1,700 at a clip.{12702}{12757}Yes. I needed that money.{12791}{12914}The day you took out $1,500,|Mr. Carpenter deposited 1,350.{12917}{12995}When you withdrew 1,700,|he deposited 1,550.{12997}{13045}Maybe they were shooting crap.{13047}{13108}Oh, must I be insulted like this?{13184}{13261}I'm sorry, Mrs. Treadwell, but I have|to find out about these things.{13263}{13375}Shelby needed some money, and I lent it to|him. That's all. Afterall, it is my money.

{13377}{13438}- I suppose I can do as I please with it.|- Sure. Of course.{13441}{13512}Now, on Friday night, Mrs. Treadwell,|you stayed home alone all evening?{13515}{13587}- Yes.|- Why didn't you go to the concert with Shelby?{13617}{13665}Because he didn't ask me.{13667}{13717}We were just talking|about you, Carpenter.{13720}{13788}- What a coincidence to find you here.|- This is Lieutenant McPherson.{13790}{13876}- Oh, how do you do, Lieutenant?|- I didn't know you were here, Mr. Carpenter.{13878}{13941}As a matter of fact,|I was just lying down here.{13944}{14032}My hotel room was so hot, and then all|the people and reporters and telephone.

{14034}{14081}You know how it is,|Lieutenant.{14084}{14151}I've hardly slept a wink|since it happened.{14153}{14216}Is that a sign of guilt or innocence,|McPherson?{14219}{14304}I'm at your disposal, Lieutenant. I'm as|eager to find the murderer as you are.{14306}{14366}But what possible motive|could I have for killing Laura?{14369}{14438}Miss Hunt and I were going to be married|this week, you know.{14441}{14490}No, he doesn't know,|and neither do I...{14493}{14576}- or you or anyone else alive.|- What do you mean by that?{14579}{14651}Laura had not definitely made up|her mind to marry him.{14653}{14749}She told me so herself last Friday when she|called up to cancel our dinner engagement.{14752}{14836}As a matter of fact, she was going|to the country to think it over

.{14839}{14896}She was extremely kind,|but I was always sure...{14898}{15000}she would never have thrown her life|away on a male beauty in distress.{15002}{15052}I suppose you've heard|losers whine before...{15055}{15102}especially in your|profession, eh?{15105}{15150}Would you like|a bite of lunch, Lieutenant?{15153}{15201}That's very thoughtful-|the perfect host.{15204}{15259}- Waldo.|- You'd almost think he was in his own home.{15261}{15341}Shelby knows how distracted I am.|Would you, Lieutenant?


4/24

{15344}{15401}Thank you, Mrs. Treadwell,|but I've got to be going.{15404}{15493}But, Lieutenant, I- Well, I rather thought|you'd want to ask me some questions.{15496}{15574}Oh, yes. What did they play|at the concert Friday night?{15577}{15642}Oh, Brahms's First|and Beethoven's Ninth.{15645}{15725}Uh-huh. Have you got a key|to Miss Hunt's house up in the country?{15728}{15794}No, but I think there's one|up in her apartment.{15797}{15856}- Okay, I'll have a look.|- Perhaps I could help you?{15858}{15905}All right. Come along.{15908}{15966}I'll be seeing you,|Mrs. Treadwell.{16071}{16142}Extra.! Extra.!|Girl victim in brutal slaying.!{16145}{16201}Extra.! Girl victim|in brutal slaying.!{16204}{16264}Read all about it.!|Girl victim in brutal slaying.!{16267}{16331}Girl victim|in brutal slaying.! Read all about it.!{16461}{16510}All right.|Break it up. Break it up.{16537}{16585}Ice-cold drinks.!{17225}{17290}- The doorbell rang.|- What?{17293}{17371}As she opened the door,|the shot was fired.{17373}{17421}And how do you deduce that?{17423}{17496}She fell backward.|The body was there.{17530}{17601}I thought you hadn't|been up here before.{17603}{17650}I saw the police photos.{17872}{17923}I guess I better|try and find that key.{17969}{18054}McPherson, tell me, why did they have to|photograph her in that ho

rrible condition?{18057}{18120}When a dame gets killed,|she doesn't worry about how she looks.{18122}{18192}Will you stop calling her a dame?|Look around.{18229}{18283}Is this the home of a dame?{18327}{18373}Look at her.{18448}{18506}Not bad.{18509}{18579}Jacoby was in love with her|when he painted it...{18581}{18634}but he never captured|her vibrance, her warmth.{18680}{18740}Have you ever been in love?{18743}{18814}A doll in Washington Heights|once got a fox fur out of me.{18817}{18898}Ever know a woman who wasn't|a "doll'' or a "dame''?{18951}{19039}Yeah, one, but she kept walking me|past furniture windows...{19041}{19117}to look at the parlor suites.

{19120}{19185}- Would you mind turning that off?|- Why? Don't you like it?{19188}{19278}It was one of Laura's favorites.|Not exactly classical, but sweet.{19281}{19351}- You know a lot about music?|- I don't know a lot about anything...{19353}{19403}but I know a little|about practically everything.{19405}{19456}Yeah? Then why did you say...{19459}{19556}they played Brahms's First and Beethoven's|Ninth at the concert Friday night?{19558}{19636}They changed the program at the last|minute and played nothing butSibelius.{19638}{19697}I suppose I should have|told you in the first place.{19699}{19761}I'd been working on that|advertising campaign with Laura.{19764}{19842}Well, we'd been working so hard, I-|I just couldn't keep my eyes o

pen.{19845}{19906}I didn't hear a note at the concert.|I fell asleep.{19909}{19978}Next he'll produce|photographic evidence of his dreams.{19981}{20053}I know it sounds suspicious,|but I'm resigned to that by now.{20056}{20141}I'm a natural-born suspect just because|I'm not the conventional type.{20144}{20197}I wouldn't worry about it,|Mr. Carpenter.{20200}{20280}It sounds reasonable.|I fall asleep at concerts myself.{20282}{20329}Thank you.{20353}{20399}You found|that key yet?


5/24

{20401}{20507}No. I looked for it in the den,|but it wasn't there. It may be inhere.{20678}{20724}Yes, here it is.{20726}{20785}I knew there must be|one around somewhere.{20787}{20847}The police are very fussy|about their inventories.{20849}{20931}That key isn't on the list of things|that were in that drawer yesterday.{20933}{20993}Then it's made|a recent reappearance.{20995}{21050}You put it there,|didn't you?{21053}{21110}- Yes.|- Why?{21113}{21190}It's just that I didn't want to give it|to you while Waldo was present.{21193}{21257}- Oh.|- I have private reasons that don't concern him.{21260}{21305}Everything about Laura|concerns me.{21308}{21401}You have private reasons,|no doubt, to lie about the key.{21403}{21476}Waldo, for your own good,|I'm warning you to stop implying...{21479}{21533}that I had anything to do|with Laura's death.{21535}{21593}Very well.|I'll stop implying.{21596}{21641}I'll make|a direct statement.{21644}{21689}All right,|you asked for it.{21691}{21761}I wouldn't.{21764}{21823}Will you please stop dawdling|with that infernal puzzle?{21825}{21928}- It's getting on my nerves.|- I know, but it keeps me calm.{21930}{21980}Okay, let's go.

{22352}{22404}This was our table-{22406}{22454}Laura's and mine.{22487}{22538}We spent many quiet evenings|here together.{22601}{22667}I remember we dined here the night|before her 22nd birthday.{22704}{22749}Just we two-{22752}{22842}happy, making plans|for her future.{22885}{22944}- Good luck.|But this was a far cry...{22947}{23060}from the girl who walked into my life|at the Algonquin Hotel fiveyears before.{23093}{23149}Pardon me.|Excuse me.{23203}{23250}Excuse me.{23468}{23540}Mr. Lydecker,|how do you do?{23543}{23628}My name is Laura Hunt,|and I'm with Bullitt and Company.

{23630}{23685}You know,|the big advertising firm.{23688}{23757}And I'd like to talk|something over with you, if I may.{23760}{23860}You can hardly fail to realize that|I am engaged in eating my lunch.{23863}{23953}Yes, I know. I'm awfully sorry|to interrupt this way...{23956}{24029}but it's so hard to get to see you|the regular way, and...{24032}{24079}this will only|take a minute, really.{24153}{24198}- Now, this is-|- Young woman...{24201}{24302}either you have been raised|in some incredibly rustic community...{24305}{24351}where good manners|are unknown...{24353}{24411}or you suffer from the common|feminine delusion...{24413}{24461}that the mere fact|ofbeing a woman...{24463}{24534}exempts you from the rules|of civilized conduct.

{24563}{24609}Or possibly both.{24611}{24678}Possibly, but here's|what I wanted to show you.{24681}{24729}It's for|the Wallace Flow-Rite pen.{24732}{24832}I know my company would be glad to pay|you $5,000 if you'll endorse the ad.{24834}{24880}I don't use a pen.{24882}{24933}I write with a goose quill|dipped in venom.{24936}{25006}Yes, but this is a very fine pen,|Mr. Lydecker...{25009}{25054}the best on the market.{25057}{25120}Wouldn't you at least|consider endorsing it?


6/24

{25122}{25225}I'll neither consider, endorse|or use the Wallace pen.{25228}{25280}I hate pens.{25282}{25361}If your employers wish me to publish|that statement in my column...{25364}{25428}you may tell them that I shall be|delighted to oblige.{25431}{25528}Oh, no.|You mustn't do that.{25531}{25582}Don't blame Bullitt and Company,|Mr. Lydecker.{25585}{25672}They don't know anything about this.|It was my idea to see you.{25697}{25743}Indeed?{25745}{25849}Yes. I know they'd give anything down|at the office to get your endorsement...{25851}{25903}only they think|there's no use asking.{25905}{25977}So I had this ad made up|all on my own...{25979}{26063}because I thought, well,|what's the harm in trying?{26065}{26122}There was always a chance|that you might, Mr. Lydecker.{26125}{26170}Just think what|it would mean-{26173}{26274}You seem to be completely disregarding|something more important than your career.{26277}{26340}- What?|- My lunch.{26398}{26450}Do you really believe that?{26453}{26512}Implicitly.{26515}{26574}I never heard|of anything so selfish.{26577}{26688}In my case, self-absorption|is completely justified.{26690}{26773}I have never discovered any other|subject quite so worthy of my at

tention.{26775}{26837}But you write about people...{26840}{26919}with such real understanding|and sentiment.{26956}{27005}That's what makes|your column so good.{27008}{27089}Sentiment comes easily|at 50 cents a word.{27125}{27178}Well, if that's the way|you really feel...{27205}{27277}you must be very lonely.{27280}{27374}Will you kindly continue|this character analysis elsewhere?{27377}{27455}- You begin to bore me.|- You're a poor man.{27457}{27508}I'm very sorry for you.{27573}{27638}Naturally,|I was annoyed by the incident...{27667}{27723}but she had something|about her, that girl.{27753}{27850}I had to speak to her again.|I had to see her.

{27853}{27909}- Miss, would you mind if I-|- Just a moment, please.{27911}{27967}I'll tell Mr. Bullitt right away.|He's on the telephone.{27969}{28025}Thank you.{28521}{28601}Boy, Waldo Lydecker|to see Miss Laura Hunt.{28653}{28719}Announce me.{28721}{28777}Johnny, please tell|the gentleman I'm busy.{28895}{28984}Miss Hunt, I have something|to say to you.{28987}{29045}You've already said it,|Mr. Lydecker.{29048}{29135}I wish to point out that you caught me|at my most difficult moment.{29137}{29203}Ordinarily I am not|without a heart.{29205}{29251}Really?{29253}{29313}Shall I produce|X- ray pictures to prove it?

{29393}{29449}I wish to apologize.{29451}{29498}Your apology is accepted.{29556}{29601}Good-bye, Mr. Lydecker.{29604}{29657}If you come|a little bit closer, my boy...{29660}{29720}I can just crack your skull|with my stick.{29818}{29895}And now, for reasons|which are too embarrassing to mention...{29922}{29969}I'd like to endorse that pen.{29993}{30042}Mr. Lydecker!{30045}{30092}Thank you.{30153}{30227}- You're a very strange man.|- What?

{30229}{30326}You're really sorry|for the way you acted, aren't you?{30329}{30388}Let's not be psychiatric,|Miss Hunt...{30391}{30460}but in a word, yes.{30493}{30539}It's very kind of you,|you know.{30541}{30628}I'm not kind. I'm vicious.|It's the secret of my charm.{30691}{30744}But if you choose|to think me kind...{30769}{30828}I'll call for you at 6:00.{30857}{30919}All right?{30921}{30971}All right.{31049}{31120}Her career began|with my endorsement of the pen.{31122}{31198}I secured other endorsements for her...{31201}{31249}introduced her|to important clients.{31288}{31343}I gave her her start...{31345}{31392}but it was her own talent|and imagination...{31395}{31463}that enabled her to rise|to the top ofher profession...{31465}{31512}and stay there.{31539}{31619}She had an eager mind always.{31621}{31709}She was always quick to seize upon|anything that would improve hermind...{31712}{31759}or her appearance.{31790}{31839}Laura had innate breeding.{31960}{32020}But she deferred|to my judgment and taste.{32058}{32114}I selected a more attractive|hairdress for her.{32198}{32268}I taught her what clothes|were more becoming to her.

{32321}{32388}Through me, she met everyone.{32391}{32455}The famous and the infamous.{32457}{32561}Her youth and beauty, her poise|and charm of manner...{32564}{32615}captivated them all.{32618}{32679}She had warmth, vitality.{32704}{32761}She had authentic magnetism.{32798}{32877}Wherever we went,|she stood out.{32880}{32973}Men admired her.|Women envied her.{32976}{33074}She became as well known|as Waldo Lydecker's walking stick...{33076}{33130}and his white carnation.{33132}{33210}But Tuesday and Friday nights|we stayed home...{33212}{33293}dining quietly,|listening to my records.{33318}{33388}I read my articles to her.

{33391}{33463}The way she listened|was more eloquent than speech.{33523}{33540}These were the best nights.{33608}{33685}Then one Tuesday, she phoned|and said she couldn't come.{33717}{33777}It didn't matter, really.{33779}{33861}But when it happened again|the following Friday, I was disturbed.{33919}{34004}I couldn't|understand it. I felt betrayed...{34035}{34098}and yet I knew Laura|would never betray anyone.{34263}{34310}I walked for a long time.{34362}{34447}Then I found myself|before her apartment building.{34450}{34562}The lights were on.|It pleased me to know she was home...{34565}{34612}till I saw she was not alone.{34667}{34768}But I waited.|I wanted to see who he was.{34886}{34957}It was Jacoby, who had recently|painted her portrait.

{34982}{35027}I never liked the man.{35030}{35153}He was so obviously conscious oflooking|more like an athlete thanan artist.{35155}{35229}I sat up the rest of the night|writing a column about him.{35231}{35277}I demolished his affectations...{35279}{35359}exposed his camouflaged|imitations ofbetter painters...{35362}{35426}ridiculed his theories.{35428}{35507}I did it for her,|knowing Jacoby was unworthy ofher.{35510}{35602}It was a masterpiece|because it was a labor oflove.{35605}{35681}Naturally, she could never|regard him seriously again.

{35715}{35787}There were others,|of course...{35789}{35837}but her own discrimination|ruled them out...{35839}{35904}before it became necessary|for me to intercede...{35943}{36023}until one night at a party|at Ann Treadwell's.{36026}{36119}It was one ofher usual roundups|ofbizarre and nondescript characters...{36121}{36182}- corralled from every stratum of society.|- How are you this evening?{36185}{36243}This is Mr. and Mrs. Preston.|They've been waiting to meet you.{36245}{36291}How do you do?{36365}{36412}- Hello, Shelby.|- Excuse me, honey.{36521}{36573}You're Laura Hunt.{36575}{36660}- Yes?|- Hello.

Yes.{36920}{36966}Betsy Ross taught it to me.{36968}{37016}- Hello, Waldo. Darling, how are you?|- Hello, darling.{37019}{37064}- I see you've met Shelby.|- Hello, Ann.{37067}{37131}- Unavoidably.|- He was awfully nice to me in Louisville at the Derby.{37134}{37189}His family's from Kentucky.{37191}{37239}Sharecroppers, no doubt.{37367}{37433}Louise. Louise, for the last time,|will you marry me?

{37435}{37492}I won't, but I've saved|some chicken livers for you.{37495}{37540}Oh, you're an angel.|In the meantime, darling...{37543}{37597}you think you could|get this spot out for me?{37599}{37663}I can afford a blemish on my character|but not on my clothes.{37666}{37731}- Mmm. Couldn't eat another mouthful.|- I'm afraid it's rouge.{37734}{37781}- I'm afraid it's liquor.|- Louise. Oh.{37783}{37855}- May I have a glass of milk for Mr. Lydecker?|- Of course, Miss Hunt.{37857}{37906}I forgot to tell you.|I also read palms.{37909}{38003}I cook, I swallow swords, I mend my own|socks, I never eat garlicor onions.{38006}{38051}What more can you want|of a man?{38054}{38123}- Don't listen to that scalawag.|- I didn't expect to find him her

e, Louise.{38126}{38171}What do you mean?|We're old friends.{38174}{38219}She feeds me,|humors me, repairs me...{38222}{38270}and refuses to marry me,|don't you, honey?{38273}{38319}- I do.|- She has good sense.{38321}{38386}- Now, wait just a minute. Thanks, Louise.|- You're wasting your time.{38388}{38450}- She's got good sense too.|- You're jealous.{38494}{38562}And what does it feel like,|Mr. Carpenter?{38564}{38628}What does what feel like,|Miss Hunt?{38631}{38686}Living on the income|from an estate.{38689}{38734}- Well, I, uh-|- Or don't you know?{38737}{38845}Well, I did, until the sheriff|took it over 10 years ago.

{38847}{38893}Why maintain the fiction?|Why not work?{38895}{38974}Believe it or not, I asked|one of my many friends for a job once-{38977}{39037}executive of a big company-|2,500 employees.{39039}{39109}He could have pressed a button|and done it, but he just laughed.{39111}{39157}- He thought I was joking.|- Weren't you?{39159}{39231}No. When I convinced him, he got|embarrassed, said he'd phone me.{39233}{39353}That was months ago. Now whenever|he sees me, he looks the other way.{39525}{39597}- Do you really want a job?|- Yes.{39665}{39713}Oh, here you are.

{39715}{39804}Laura, dear, I cannot stand|these morons any longer.{39807}{39898}If you don't come with me|this instant, I shall run amok.{39901}{39947}All right, Waldo.{39972}{40024}10:30 tomorrow,|Bullitt and Company.{40049}{40103}You've got a job.{40106}{40192}I concealed my|annoyance with masterly self-control...{40225}{40313}but I sensed a situation|which would bear watching.{40315}{40410}Laura, take a look at this.{40412}{40495}Do you like it?

Oh, yes.|Will you dine with me tomorrow night?{41339}{41397}- Maybe.|- No, that isn't what's worrying me.

{41399}{41450}- It's the next night.|- But, Shelby, I can't be-{41453}{41525}Good. What about three weeks from|tonight and all the nights in between?{41527}{41573}Don't you think|I have any other engagements?{41575}{41652}What about two months|from now and the month after that?{41655}{41731}- What about next year?|- That's all settled. What about breakfast?{41757}{41805}What about dancing?{41807}{41853}What about lunch?|Beautiful lunches...{41855}{41922}- day after day after day after day?|- What about work?{41924}{41992}Beautiful work,|day after day after day?{41995}{42041}Why, Miss Hunt,|the way you talk.{42043}{42092}You'd think I was|in love with you.

{42231}{42284}Yes, Laura,|I heard everything he said.{42372}{42419}I went to call for you.{42453}{42501}I'm sorry, Waldo.{42504}{42551}And that reminds me.{42609}{42673}Old Mother Hubbard has|something in the cupboard.{42735}{42782}The results of|my private investigation...{42785}{42843}of that sterling character,|Mr. Shelby Carpenter.{42894}{42953}By stooping so low, you only|degrade yourself, Waldo.{42992}{43078}Did you know that he almost went to jail|for passing rubber checks...{43080}{43135}that he was suspected of stealing|his hostess's jewels...{43138}{43190}when he was a houseguest|in Virginia?{43193}{43254}Naturally they'd suspect him,|because he isn't rich.

{43281}{43334}Those are only insinuations...{43336}{43387}the cheapest kind.{43390}{43452}These aren't only|insinuations, my dear.{43455}{43502}There you are.|Read them.{43549}{43598}What of it?{43600}{43696}I know his faults.|A man can change, can't he?{43699}{43763}People are always ready|to hold out a hand to slap you down...{43766}{43811}but never to pick you up.{43814}{43870}All right,|I'm helping Shelby.{43873}{43923}His past is his own affair.

{43926}{43995}I only care about the present.{43998}{44074}Speaking of the changed Mr. Carpenter|in the present tense...{44111}{44177}he's now running around|with a model from your own office.{44179}{44232}Her name is Diane Redfern.{44286}{44365}I'm closer to despising you|than I thought I ever would be.{44526}{44615}I'm sorry. I should have|told you before.{44618}{44679}Shelby and I are going to be|married next week.{44781}{44862}I believe you presented him with|a cigarette case on his last birthday.{44947}{44992}Rather valuable, isn't it?{44995}{45043}Where did you get it?{45046}{45125}From the pawnshop where Diane Redfern|took it after he gave it toher.{45127}{45208}I don't believe it. He probably needed|money and was too proud toborrow.{45211}{45258}Carpenter proud?{45291}{45351}Perhaps that's why|the pawn ticket was in her name.{45354}{45403}Before this goes any further,|why, I'll just-{45458}{45505}He isn't home.{45687}{45732}He's dining|at Ann Treadwell's.{45735}{45785}He can't be.|He asked me to dinner.{45787}{45877}He would have canceled his appointment|with her if you had accepted.{45879}{45942}He treats her|rather badly these days.

We'll see.{46886}{46969}Don't you want to take this little|bauble along in case he is there?{47163}{47208}- Good evening.|- Good evening.{47211}{47278}- I'm sorry.

{47827}{47872}There you are, my dear.{47875}{47938}In a moment of supreme disaster,|he's trite.{47940}{48007}You've been reading|too many melodramas, Waldo.{48010}{48084}I was just telling Ann|about our getting married.{48087}{48132}Well, have you two|had dinner?{48159}{48206}Would you like|a glass of wine?{48208}{48259}Why don't you sit down?{48463}{48555}I couldn't find out|if she saw Carpenter in the meantime.{48558}{48641}All I know is that on Friday|she had lunch with Diane Redfern.{48681}{48749}What came of it,|I hoped to hear that night.{48751}{48836}- I alternated between moods of|overoptimism and overpessimism.{48839}{48904}When the phone rang,|I had a foreboding of disaster.{49001}{49072}I called to tell you, Waldo,|I'm frightfully sorry.

{49075}{49131}I can't have dinner|with you tonight.{49134}{49220}Oh, no, no. I'm not sick.|I'm just dreadfully nervous.{49223}{49284}I'm going to the country|for a few days.{49287}{49332}Yes. I'm afraid|it's about Shelby.{49361}{49414}Oh, no. Please.|There's nothing you can do.{49416}{49475}I've got to think|this thing out for myself.{49478}{49574}I'm sorry. I'll call you|when I get back. Good-bye.{49617}{49679}It was the last time|I ever heard her voice.{49711}{49783}I was sure she had|too much pride to forgive him.{49819}{49871}But-

{49874}{49946}Where does|this Diane Redfern live?{49949}{50006}Brooklyn somewhere.|She's in the phone book.{50059}{50106}Come on.

Thanks.{51983}{52029}She's here, McPherson-|the maid.{52031}{52090}Okay.{52092}{52158}- Come in, Miss Clary.|- Never mind the "Miss Clary'' stuff.

{52160}{52252}My name's Bessie, and I'm a domestic,|and I got nothin' to be ashamed of.{52255}{52303}Sit down, Bessie.{52331}{52381}Her letters.{52383}{52429}And her private diary.{52458}{52505}You've been reading them,|pawing over them.{52507}{52590}It's a shame in the face of the dead.|That's what it is.

{53040}{53104}What do you want to know?{53107}{53162}What we all want to know-|who killed Laura Hunt.{53164}{53211}How would I know?{53248}{53304}You don't think I done it?{53307}{53370}I know you cops|get crazy notions...{53373}{53429}but if you got any notion|concerning me-{53431}{53514}Ask anyone-|anyone who ever come to this house.{53516}{53562}I would have|worked for her.{53564}{53610}I would have washed,|ironed, scrubbed...{53612}{53701}done everything she wanted of me,|whether she paid me for it or not.{53703}{53798}And it wasn't only on account of the|thousand sweet things she done for me.

{53801}{53861}It was because she was|so sweet herself...{53863}{53949}because she was|a real fine lady.{53975}{54066}But you cops|wouldn't know about that.{54069}{54195}But you do. That's all the more reason|why you should help me, Bessie.{54198}{54269}Do you happen to know how this got into|her liquor cabinet?{54307}{54355}I put it there.{54358}{54441}But she never bought cheap stuff like|that- not a lady like Miss Hunt.{54443}{54515}- No.|- When did you put it in the cabinet?

I only sent for you, Carpenter.|- Iknow.{56310}{56364}Shelby's dropping me off|at the hairdresser's later...{56367}{56445}- so I thought I might as well come along.|- My excuse is equallyfeeble.{56447}{56498}I just popped in|to pay my dubious respects...{56500}{56547}and inquire as to|the state of your health.{56550}{56611}- Insipid, I trust.|- I was just going to pour myself a drink.{56614}{56697}- Care to join me?|- A very nice idea. Shelby, wouldn't you like one?

{56699}{56745}- I'll get it.|- Never mind.{56747}{56799}- Bessie, would you bring a couple more glasses?|- Yes, sir.{56802}{56854}Hi, Bessie.|What are you doing here?{56857}{56909}I'm paid up for the week,|and I'm working, regardless.{56911}{56976}- Would you like one, Lydecker?|- I see no reason to exclude myself...{56979}{57024}if the host provides scotch.{57027}{57082}- This do?|- I presume it'll have to.{57085}{57137}How about you, Carpenter?|It's cheap, but it's potent.{57139}{57235}As a matter of fact, I don't think I care|for any. I'm not much ofa daytime drinker.{57238}{57339}- Uh-huh. That'll be all for you, Bessie.|You can go home now. - But I- Yes, sir.

{57372}{57426}I remember when Laura|bought these glasses.{57428}{57482}She loved them.|She loved all her things so.{57485}{57542}What are you going to do?|Sell them?{57545}{57614}I don't know.|I suppose so. Thank you.{57617}{57713}If I'm appointed administrator of the estate,|I shall probably just call in Corey.{57715}{57766}You mean Lancaster Corey,|the art dealer?{57768}{57814}Yes.

{82667}{82772}Laura kept a duplicate key|at her office. I went over and got it.{82775}{82873}I'd asked Diane to dine with me.

{83966}{84018}Anybody that knew Laura|would have believed that.{84021}{84101}- Yeah.

I saw only|a vague heap lying on the floor.{84704}{84808}I- I don't think|I fully grasped the situation.{84810}{84885}I think I called her name,|but I'm not sure.

What did|you and Laura talk about tonight?{86538}{86603}I told her the whole story,|just as I've told you.{86647}{86700}She phoned you after she promised me|she wouldn't call anybody.{86703}{86774}- What did she want?|- It's perfectly natural she should want to see me...{86777}{86822}especially|after what's happened.{86825}{86893}Why don't you tell the truth? She sent|you here to get rid of thisgun.{86895}{86974}She did not. It was my own idea.|She doesn't even know I'm here.{87135}{87236}- It works fine, doesn't it?|- Yes.

{87334}{87429}- Well, am I under arrest?|- No, but you're not to leave town...{87432}{87491}and it would be|foolish of you to try it.{87952}{88000}- Good morning.|- Good morning.{88074}{88121}- What's that?|- Breakfast.{88123}{88182}You didn't buy any food|when you went out last night.{88325}{88415}I'll fix some bacon and eggs.|Can you make coffee?{88418}{88508}Suppose you set the table|while I get breakfast.{88510}{88558}Do you always sound like this|in the morning?{88560}{88607}Don't tell me|you can cook.{88610}{88709}My mother always listened sympathetically|to my dreams of a career
