1
00:00:11,477 --> 00:00:16,039
Sometimes when I'm quantum
leaping, I have really good days.
2
00:00:16,115 --> 00:00:18,583
Days when I win the race,
3
00:00:18,650 --> 00:00:20,584
stop the bad guy...
4
00:00:20,652 --> 00:00:22,677
and kiss the girl.
5
00:00:33,632 --> 00:00:36,499
And then there are
the bad days.
6
00:00:44,309 --> 00:00:46,334
Oh, boy.
7
00:00:46,412 --> 00:00:48,346
Uh, this... this is not
what it looks like.
8
00:00:48,414 --> 00:00:50,348
Uh, he was dead
when I got here?
9
00:00:50,416 --> 00:00:53,180
Mm-hmm. Anybody besides you
and him to corroborate that?
10
00:00:53,252 --> 00:00:56,881
I don't know. Then you're gonna
miss the Dodger opener, Nick.
11
00:00:56,955 --> 00:00:58,980
I'm still in L.A.
12
00:00:59,057 --> 00:01:04,495
"L.A." Yeah, sure. And, uh, Ebbets
Field is in Hollywood. Call the coroner.
13
00:01:04,563 --> 00:01:07,396
What are you gonna do,
try the insanity plea?
14
00:02:40,592 --> 00:02:43,993
Tales can come true
15
00:02:44,062 --> 00:02:46,530
It could happen to you
16
00:02:46,598 --> 00:02:49,829
It was 1953.
17
00:02:49,902 --> 00:02:55,499
The Dodgers were still in Brooklyn, and I
was a private detective named Nick Allen.
18
00:02:55,574 --> 00:02:59,408
The dead man on the floor
was my partner, Phil Grimsley.
19
00:02:59,478 --> 00:03:02,208
And if that wasn't enough
to cause chills,
20
00:03:02,281 --> 00:03:04,374
there was the image
in the mirror.
21
00:03:06,652 --> 00:03:09,212
Play it again, Sam.
22
00:03:12,291 --> 00:03:14,885
Uh, am I Bogie?
23
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,522
No. No, he's on Long Island with
Audrey Hepburn making "Sabrina".
24
00:03:19,598 --> 00:03:21,759
But the resemblance
is amazing.
25
00:03:21,833 --> 00:03:24,700
That might be why Nick
became a gumshoe.
26
00:03:24,770 --> 00:03:26,704
Gumshoe?
27
00:03:26,772 --> 00:03:29,570
Shamus, tec, dick.
28
00:03:29,641 --> 00:03:32,405
You don't know the lingo.
29
00:03:32,477 --> 00:03:34,411
I don't remember.
30
00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,141
What kind of peep
are you gonna make?
31
00:03:37,215 --> 00:03:39,740
At least I remember him.
32
00:03:39,818 --> 00:03:43,276
Here's lookin' at you, kid.
33
00:03:43,355 --> 00:03:46,791
If you're through playing,
can we get down to business?
34
00:03:46,858 --> 00:03:49,986
Yeah. I'm sorry.
Um, what am I here to do?
35
00:03:50,062 --> 00:03:52,496
Find the killer probably.
36
00:03:52,564 --> 00:03:54,691
Then I didn't do it!
Uh, Nick didn't do it.
37
00:03:54,766 --> 00:03:58,099
Uh, Ziggy says
it's 4-to-1 against.
38
00:03:58,170 --> 00:04:00,434
Your partner Phil
was into seedy divorce cases,
39
00:04:00,505 --> 00:04:02,564
so he was probably
of fed by someone...
40
00:04:02,641 --> 00:04:06,168
he snapshot
in a compromising position or two.
41
00:04:06,244 --> 00:04:08,735
Who? Well, there's no data on that.
42
00:04:08,814 --> 00:04:10,748
You're the shamus.
You figure it out.
43
00:04:10,816 --> 00:04:12,909
I'm not the shamus.
44
00:04:12,985 --> 00:04:15,180
Oh, you know.
45
00:04:19,458 --> 00:04:21,392
You dirty rat.
46
00:04:21,460 --> 00:04:23,928
You dirty, rotten rat.
No, Sam.
47
00:04:23,996 --> 00:04:26,396
You killed my brother...
S-Sam!
48
00:04:26,465 --> 00:04:29,491
That's Cagney, not Bogart.
49
00:04:29,568 --> 00:04:32,298
Yeah. Uh, right.
50
00:04:32,371 --> 00:04:36,273
Yeah, well, I gotta go.
Tina's got this friend.
51
00:04:36,341 --> 00:04:40,243
Al, don't tell me you're
cheating on Tina with her friend.
52
00:04:40,312 --> 00:04:44,646
A friend that knows a guy who's
got a kid that works for a trainer,
53
00:04:44,716 --> 00:04:47,981
who happens to have a sure thing
in the fourth race at Santa Anita.
54
00:04:48,053 --> 00:04:50,385
Now don't you feel bad
about jumping to conclusions?
55
00:04:50,455 --> 00:04:52,389
No, I don't feel bad.
56
00:04:52,457 --> 00:04:55,984
Al, I'm in jail for a murder I didn't
commit in the decade that I was born.
57
00:04:56,061 --> 00:04:58,757
All you care about
is getting to...
58
00:05:01,066 --> 00:05:03,796
What? What?
59
00:05:03,869 --> 00:05:06,736
- I'm gonna be set free.
- By whom?
60
00:05:06,805 --> 00:05:09,672
You!
61
00:05:09,741 --> 00:05:13,177
You, you I'm in love with you
Al, don't ask me how I know this,
62
00:05:13,245 --> 00:05:18,615
but any second, a bald detective with
a cigar is gonna come walking through...
63
00:05:18,684 --> 00:05:22,677
That door and tell me that
the bullet that Grimsley took...
64
00:05:22,754 --> 00:05:24,688
didn't come from my gun.
65
00:05:24,756 --> 00:05:28,556
You're outta here, Nick. Ballistics
said the slugs Grimsley stopped...
66
00:05:28,627 --> 00:05:30,652
didn't match your gun.
67
00:05:30,729 --> 00:05:33,061
- Déjà vu.
- I don't think so.
68
00:05:33,131 --> 00:05:35,395
Fine, stay here
for all I care.
69
00:05:35,467 --> 00:05:39,369
Uh, no. That's not what I
meant. I wanna get out. Really.
70
00:05:43,175 --> 00:05:46,906
Well, if you're outta here,
I'll see you later.
71
00:05:46,978 --> 00:05:50,880
Al, I...
72
00:05:50,949 --> 00:05:54,112
You've been hit in the head
too many times with a sap, Nick.
73
00:06:15,974 --> 00:06:19,102
In a funny way, that
detective might have been right.
74
00:06:19,177 --> 00:06:23,443
Maybe leaping from one year to another
had done more than Swiss cheese my brain,
75
00:06:23,515 --> 00:06:26,916
because the feeling of déjà vu
had just struck again.
76
00:06:26,985 --> 00:06:30,944
Someone in publishing named
Seymour was about to speak to me.
77
00:06:31,022 --> 00:06:33,320
- Seymour?
- Bogie.
78
00:06:33,391 --> 00:06:35,325
Oh, uh, no, ma'am.
79
00:06:35,393 --> 00:06:38,157
He's in Long Island with Audrey
Hepburn and William Holden.
80
00:06:46,538 --> 00:06:46,985
Nick!
81
00:06:46,986 --> 00:06:48,573
I knew them all.
82
00:06:48,574 --> 00:06:51,433
The older guy was Lionel,
the building superintendent.
83
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:55,606
The elevator operator was Chuck, and
Seymour was the boy behind the news stand.
84
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,012
I guess you could consider that
being in publishing.
85
00:06:58,083 --> 00:07:00,711
Sorry about Phil, Nick.
You okay?
86
00:07:00,786 --> 00:07:04,552
I can't believe Phil's gone. Seems like
yesterday that I was taking him up and down.
87
00:07:04,623 --> 00:07:06,614
It was yesterday.
88
00:07:08,794 --> 00:07:10,762
How'd Allison take it?
89
00:07:10,829 --> 00:07:14,697
How bad could she take it? A body like
that doesn't marry a guy like Phil for love.
90
00:07:14,766 --> 00:07:16,961
Any idea who killed him?
91
00:07:17,035 --> 00:07:20,027
Word on the street is he was
fogged by a dropper called Klapper.
92
00:07:20,105 --> 00:07:23,040
A dropper called Klapper?
93
00:07:23,108 --> 00:07:25,042
Why would a dropper be
after Phil? Are you kidding?
94
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:27,806
I bet Phil and Nick put a dozen
Hard Harry's in the slammer.
95
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:30,871
Any one of them could have paid
a dropper to fog him. Right, Nick?
96
00:07:31,950 --> 00:07:33,884
Well, I-I hope not.
97
00:07:33,952 --> 00:07:37,581
- I don't like tenants with hit men after them.
- No, no, neither do I.
98
00:07:37,656 --> 00:07:39,681
What are you gonna
do, let the cops handle it?
99
00:07:39,758 --> 00:07:43,626
Are you kidding? The man's partner buys it,
he doesn't stop until he nails the dropper.
100
00:07:43,695 --> 00:07:48,132
Like Tommy Trueblood. Tommy's partner
was found in the Pacific, sucking kelp.
101
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,225
Tommy had to take on
the cops, the mob,
102
00:07:50,302 --> 00:07:53,203
and bad criminal elements,
but he got the dropper.
103
00:07:53,271 --> 00:07:55,205
And that's what you're
gonna do, right, Nick?
104
00:07:57,275 --> 00:07:59,937
Well, I-I don't know.
But not here.
105
00:08:00,011 --> 00:08:02,172
I don't want any shooting
around here.
106
00:08:02,247 --> 00:08:04,340
It frightens the tenants.
107
00:08:04,416 --> 00:08:07,579
Well, I'll, uh,
I'll try not to get shot...
108
00:08:07,652 --> 00:08:09,586
here.
109
00:08:16,394 --> 00:08:18,328
Something wrong?
110
00:08:18,396 --> 00:08:20,990
You never paid me
for a paper before.
111
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,499
Well, it's about time I started.
112
00:08:32,143 --> 00:08:34,577
What's the record? Twelve
minutes and eight seconds.
113
00:08:34,646 --> 00:08:36,580
It didn't take that long.
114
00:08:36,648 --> 00:08:38,878
I got a buck says
he can't fix it quicker.
115
00:08:38,950 --> 00:08:42,078
Make that two.
You want a piece of this, Nick?
116
00:08:51,463 --> 00:08:53,556
Gee, thanks, Nick.
117
00:08:53,632 --> 00:08:55,566
You're welcome.
118
00:09:13,685 --> 00:09:15,676
Thanks.
119
00:09:20,492 --> 00:09:26,453
Uh, Nick. I, uh, I got these tickets
to the Dodger game tomorrow, and, um...
120
00:09:26,531 --> 00:09:31,264
Oh, uh, thanks, Chuck, but I don't
think I'll be able to make it.
121
00:09:31,336 --> 00:09:33,270
Oh, I didn't mean you.
122
00:09:33,338 --> 00:09:36,796
I was wondering if maybe you could
ask Allison if she wanted to go.
123
00:09:36,875 --> 00:09:39,469
You know, to take her mind
off Phil's dying.
124
00:09:40,578 --> 00:09:44,070
Yeah, right.
It's too soon.
125
00:09:44,149 --> 00:09:46,083
It's a bad idea.
126
00:09:54,793 --> 00:09:58,820
I was still trying to figure out how
anyone could be as tasteless as Chuck...
127
00:10:00,098 --> 00:10:03,465
when the déjà vu
feeling hit me again.
128
00:10:09,941 --> 00:10:12,307
Someone was in my office.
129
00:10:13,578 --> 00:10:16,570
Someone... dangerous.
130
00:10:20,352 --> 00:10:23,253
Boy, was I right.
131
00:10:23,321 --> 00:10:26,256
Oh, Nick,
it's so horrible.
132
00:10:26,324 --> 00:10:28,258
When I found out the police
thought you killed Phil...
133
00:10:28,326 --> 00:10:30,658
Allison. I was so afraid
they'd find out about us.
134
00:10:31,963 --> 00:10:34,363
Oh, boy. I mean, it would be motive...
135
00:10:34,432 --> 00:10:36,366
for you to kill Phil.
136
00:10:36,434 --> 00:10:38,368
Wouldn't it?
137
00:10:38,436 --> 00:10:40,768
Uh, yeah.
138
00:10:40,839 --> 00:10:42,966
But you didn't.
139
00:10:43,041 --> 00:10:45,009
No.
140
00:10:45,076 --> 00:10:47,874
Oh, Nick, I'm so glad.
141
00:10:47,946 --> 00:10:51,746
I don't know if I could love
a man who killed my husband.
142
00:10:53,785 --> 00:10:56,219
But if you didn't do it,
who did?
143
00:10:56,287 --> 00:10:59,256
Phil ever mention someone
called Klapper?
144
00:10:59,324 --> 00:11:01,258
The dropper?
145
00:11:01,326 --> 00:11:03,817
You know him?
No.
146
00:11:03,895 --> 00:11:09,197
One night in bed... Uh, you
know we slept in twin beds.
147
00:11:09,267 --> 00:11:11,462
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
148
00:11:11,536 --> 00:11:14,505
Well, one night Phil
was having this nightmare,
149
00:11:14,572 --> 00:11:18,440
mumbling something
about a dropper named Klapper.
150
00:11:18,510 --> 00:11:20,569
Is he the murderer?
151
00:11:21,579 --> 00:11:25,777
Could be.
Oh, Nick, I'm so scared.
152
00:11:25,850 --> 00:11:30,219
I can't go back to my apartment.
I just can't.
153
00:11:30,288 --> 00:11:32,950
Don't you have
somewhere else to stay?
154
00:11:34,392 --> 00:11:36,724
Well, what about your place?
155
00:11:39,130 --> 00:11:41,098
My place?
156
00:11:41,166 --> 00:11:45,193
Well, I-I know
it's a little sudden,
157
00:11:45,270 --> 00:11:48,728
maybe in bad taste,
158
00:11:48,807 --> 00:11:50,968
but Phillip's dead.
159
00:11:51,042 --> 00:11:54,273
And we've been waiting
so long.
160
00:11:56,181 --> 00:11:58,945
Waiting?
You mean, we never...
161
00:12:00,251 --> 00:12:05,917
No, of course we never.
Phil... Phillip was your husband.
162
00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:07,924
And your partner.
Yeah.
163
00:12:07,992 --> 00:12:10,392
And a man can't...
164
00:12:10,462 --> 00:12:13,829
With his partner's wife.
165
00:12:13,898 --> 00:12:17,163
Until his partner... is gone.
166
00:12:38,857 --> 00:12:42,190
Thank you.
167
00:13:24,569 --> 00:13:26,503
"I found Phil emptying a bottle...
168
00:13:26,571 --> 00:13:30,905
"with a hand shakier
than a grass skirt on Waikiki.
169
00:13:30,975 --> 00:13:35,207
"He looked like a cat
working on his ninth life...
170
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,182
ever since he heard a dropper
named Klapper was looking for him."
171
00:13:40,818 --> 00:13:42,911
It's not déjà vu.
172
00:13:45,523 --> 00:13:47,650
I read this book.
173
00:13:51,797 --> 00:13:53,890
"She was a flamer.
174
00:13:53,965 --> 00:13:57,696
A redhead who could make
Father Flanagan forget Boys Town."
175
00:13:57,769 --> 00:14:00,101
My first wife
was just like that.
176
00:14:00,172 --> 00:14:03,198
Al. Look, I read this book,
Nick's writing.
177
00:14:03,275 --> 00:14:06,506
That's why I know everything.
It's not déjà vu.
178
00:14:06,578 --> 00:14:10,070
Another illusion
shattered forever.
179
00:14:10,148 --> 00:14:12,275
Nick and Allison
loved each other,
180
00:14:12,350 --> 00:14:14,944
but they were too loyal to Phil
to do anything about it.
181
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:16,954
Listen to this.
182
00:14:17,022 --> 00:14:20,219
"The heat between us was like
a six-day jaunt in the Sahara,
183
00:14:20,292 --> 00:14:24,353
but our ties to Phil were as tight
as the drunk on the corner stool."
184
00:14:24,429 --> 00:14:28,331
- Not exactly Faulkner.
- Yeah, you can say that again.
185
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,234
I think I'm here to find Phil's killer, so that
Allison and I can live happily ever after.
186
00:14:32,304 --> 00:14:35,000
Sam, don't you mean
Allison and Nick?
187
00:14:36,608 --> 00:14:39,168
Well, yeah, sure.
188
00:14:40,612 --> 00:14:44,514
Sam, you know,
Allison could be the killer.
189
00:14:45,584 --> 00:14:47,211
No.
No?
190
00:14:47,285 --> 00:14:50,584
- No.
- No? Why do you say no?
191
00:14:50,655 --> 00:14:53,988
Because "her body
could part the Red Army"?
192
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:58,587
No, because...
we've got Klapper.
193
00:14:58,663 --> 00:15:01,996
Careful, Sam. There was no cure for that in 1953.
194
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:06,265
Al, Klapper is the dropper who shot
Phil. At least that's the rumor.
195
00:15:06,338 --> 00:15:09,739
Yeah, but people hire droppers.
It wasn't Allison.
196
00:15:09,808 --> 00:15:13,574
But whoever it was
is probably here in Nick's book.
197
00:15:13,645 --> 00:15:18,605
So, if you could just find me...
"Dead Men Don't Die".
198
00:15:18,683 --> 00:15:22,175
Uh, I doubt that it was published
under that title.
199
00:15:22,254 --> 00:15:24,188
Check under Nick Allen.
200
00:15:24,656 --> 00:15:27,648
Maybe he used a nom de plume.
I would.
201
00:15:27,725 --> 00:15:30,421
Just have Ziggy do it, okay?
That's what computers are for.
202
00:15:30,495 --> 00:15:34,192
Just find me the rest of this book, because for
the life of me, I can't remember how it ended.
203
00:15:34,265 --> 00:15:36,631
Well, it wasn't with Allison and
Nick living happily ever after.
204
00:15:36,701 --> 00:15:39,898
You read it?
No. But if it ended like that,
205
00:15:39,971 --> 00:15:43,930
why would you be here...
so they could live unhappily ever after?
206
00:15:53,518 --> 00:15:55,679
Maybe Al's right.
207
00:15:55,753 --> 00:15:59,382
Maybe Nick and Allison
didn't end up together.
208
00:16:00,458 --> 00:16:02,585
But that was then,
209
00:16:02,660 --> 00:16:04,651
and this is now.
210
00:16:04,729 --> 00:16:07,254
And I'm here to see
that they do.
211
00:16:07,332 --> 00:16:11,894
And to do that,
I've gotta find Phil's killer.
212
00:16:17,675 --> 00:16:19,643
Must be Phil's...
213
00:16:30,855 --> 00:16:33,153
Hey, Nick, I got
a lead on the Klapper.
214
00:16:33,224 --> 00:16:35,385
He's gonna be
at the Blue Island tonight.
215
00:16:35,460 --> 00:16:38,827
I read about the Blue... Phil
told me about the Blue Island.
216
00:16:38,896 --> 00:16:41,694
I got tipped by a kid I was in
the orphanage with who works there,
217
00:16:41,766 --> 00:16:44,428
but he couldn't or wouldn't
give me a face.
218
00:16:44,502 --> 00:16:46,595
How are we gonna know
what he looks like?
219
00:16:46,671 --> 00:16:50,004
Same way Tommy Trueblood
did in The Lipstick Murders.
220
00:16:50,074 --> 00:16:53,339
Pose as a couple of mafioso who want to
offer him a contract. You got your roscoe?
221
00:16:53,411 --> 00:16:55,402
- Roscoe?
- Your piece, gat, shooter.
222
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,210
My gun?
Uh, no, the police have it.
223
00:16:58,282 --> 00:17:01,308
That's okay. We always got our
dukes. Ain't that right, Nick?
224
00:17:01,386 --> 00:17:04,549
Yeah, that we got.
Seymour!
225
00:17:28,579 --> 00:17:31,946
Seymour, what...
226
00:17:38,189 --> 00:17:42,148
This can't happen. The doors won't
open unless the elevator's there.
227
00:17:42,226 --> 00:17:44,524
They can if the safety latch
is broken.
228
00:17:44,595 --> 00:17:47,496
Broken?
It happens.
229
00:17:47,565 --> 00:17:49,760
This is your fault.
Mine?
230
00:17:49,834 --> 00:17:52,769
I told you this elevator was old
and needed replacing.
231
00:17:52,837 --> 00:17:54,930
Klapper did it.
232
00:17:55,006 --> 00:17:59,033
I don't think so, Seymour.
Klapper's a pro, and pros rarely miss.
233
00:17:59,110 --> 00:18:02,568
Anyway, how could he be sure I'd use the
elevator next, or walk blindly into it?
234
00:18:02,647 --> 00:18:06,811
That was my fault. I distracted
you. I'm always getting in the way.
235
00:18:06,884 --> 00:18:10,980
Look, Seymour, it's not your
fault. I should have looked first.
236
00:18:11,055 --> 00:18:14,616
I've caused accidents since
I was born, probably before.
237
00:18:14,692 --> 00:18:16,990
Maybe that's why
my folks dumped me.
238
00:18:17,061 --> 00:18:21,259
Seymour,
you were abandoned?
239
00:18:21,332 --> 00:18:23,266
Left on a stoop
in the Village.
240
00:18:23,334 --> 00:18:26,929
I grew up in the East End
Orphanage, mostly in the library.
241
00:18:27,004 --> 00:18:29,302
Hey, there's nothing wrong
with liking to read.
242
00:18:29,373 --> 00:18:31,307
I slept there.
243
00:18:31,375 --> 00:18:33,775
Only place
nobody would bother me.
244
00:18:35,012 --> 00:18:36,980
If I could just be like you.
245
00:18:37,048 --> 00:18:39,778
What, a two-bit detective
who deals in divorce cases?
246
00:18:39,851 --> 00:18:43,548
Don't say that. You're
Nick Allen. You're the best.
247
00:18:43,621 --> 00:18:46,385
That's what I always said.
248
00:18:46,457 --> 00:18:48,391
Oh, boy.
249
00:18:49,460 --> 00:18:51,690
Something wrong?
250
00:18:51,762 --> 00:18:56,961
Sorry, I just never saw
a widow look like you.
251
00:18:57,034 --> 00:18:59,366
Can I help it
if I look good in black?
252
00:18:59,437 --> 00:19:01,462
Besides, I hadn't planned
on dressing tonight.
253
00:19:01,539 --> 00:19:04,736
- Nick, we gotta go.
- Go?
254
00:19:04,809 --> 00:19:07,642
We got a lead
at the Blue Island.
255
00:19:07,712 --> 00:19:09,646
Nick, you can't go there.
Why not?
256
00:19:09,714 --> 00:19:11,841
God, Nick, that's where Phillip
went the night he was killed.
257
00:19:11,916 --> 00:19:14,851
Why didn't you tell me?
258
00:19:14,919 --> 00:19:17,114
You went with him.
259
00:19:18,923 --> 00:19:21,391
Of course I did.
260
00:19:21,459 --> 00:19:23,825
- Nick, what's wrong?
- He's a little shook.
261
00:19:23,895 --> 00:19:25,829
He nearly fell down
the elevator shaft.
262
00:19:25,897 --> 00:19:27,728
- What?
- It was my fault.
263
00:19:27,798 --> 00:19:29,857
It was not your fault.
It was an accident.
264
00:19:29,934 --> 00:19:32,869
Whoever killed Phillip
is after you, isn't he?
265
00:19:32,937 --> 00:19:35,098
- Well...
- Klapper's a pro.
266
00:19:35,172 --> 00:19:39,939
He knows the code, and Nick won't stop tracking
his crushers till they're pushing daisies.
267
00:19:40,011 --> 00:19:43,174
Nick, please don't go
to the Blue Island.
268
00:19:43,247 --> 00:19:47,206
Well, I have to, Allison. You want
me to find Phillip's killer, don't you?
269
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:16,406
I had two theories as to why Allison
insisted on coming to the Blue Island.
270
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,540
One, she had hired Klapper
to kill Phil...
271
00:20:19,617 --> 00:20:21,551
and wanted to be sure
that I didn't find him.
272
00:20:21,619 --> 00:20:24,645
Two, she really loved me...
uh, Nick...
273
00:20:24,722 --> 00:20:26,656
and was frightened for his safety.
274
00:20:26,724 --> 00:20:30,490
I really should be frightened,
but I feel so safe in your arms.
275
00:20:30,561 --> 00:20:32,961
Guess which one I believed?
276
00:20:47,511 --> 00:20:49,445
You spotted him?
Who?
277
00:20:49,513 --> 00:20:51,447
Klapper.
No, no.
278
00:20:51,515 --> 00:20:55,042
Just thought I recognized an old
client. You know, messy divorce case.
279
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,646
Thank God I didn't have to
go through that.
280
00:20:58,723 --> 00:21:01,920
Oh, I didn't mean that the
way it sounded, Nick. I swear.
281
00:21:01,993 --> 00:21:03,927
I'm...
282
00:21:14,105 --> 00:21:16,164
You do see him!
283
00:21:25,049 --> 00:21:27,517
Klapper's in the band,
isn't he?
284
00:21:27,585 --> 00:21:30,213
How can I spot someone if I don't
even know what he looks like?
285
00:21:30,287 --> 00:21:34,053
- He may look like a she.
- What?
286
00:21:34,125 --> 00:21:37,788
My buddy just told me the word on the
street is that Klapper's a woman.
287
00:21:39,730 --> 00:21:42,198
I think I'll go get us
some fresh drinks.
288
00:21:42,266 --> 00:21:44,496
- Oh, I'll get 'em, Nick.
- That's all right.
289
00:21:44,568 --> 00:21:48,004
- You stay here and keep Allison company.
- Sure!
290
00:21:50,508 --> 00:21:52,942
You ever read
Tommy Trueblood?
291
00:22:02,453 --> 00:22:04,512
Oh, Sam, wow.
292
00:22:04,588 --> 00:22:07,523
Allison is a killer.
293
00:22:07,591 --> 00:22:10,958
Nick wrote that?
Nick? Oh, the book.
294
00:22:11,028 --> 00:22:14,486
No, no, I'm talking
about her body... deadly.
295
00:22:14,565 --> 00:22:17,693
Oh, Al. She reminds me of
this redhead in billing.
296
00:22:17,768 --> 00:22:20,760
Al, so help me, if you start
with one of your sleazy sex stories,
297
00:22:20,838 --> 00:22:23,272
hologram or no hologram,
I'll slug ya.
298
00:22:23,340 --> 00:22:25,274
- Sleazy?
- Sleazy.
299
00:22:25,342 --> 00:22:29,176
Well, Sam, you know there's
sleaze and there's sleaze, please.
300
00:22:29,246 --> 00:22:31,373
Who killed Phil?
I don't know.
301
00:22:31,449 --> 00:22:33,440
What do you mean?
You got the book. I saw you.
302
00:22:33,517 --> 00:22:35,610
Yeah, but, you know,
it's an unfinished mystery.
303
00:22:35,686 --> 00:22:38,382
It's one of those contest books
they had in the '50s.
304
00:22:38,456 --> 00:22:44,326
You figure out who did the murder and if
the cops can prove it, then you win 10 grand.
305
00:22:44,395 --> 00:22:49,355
Al, it says,
"Who Killed Grimsley and Allen?"
306
00:22:49,433 --> 00:22:53,301
Yeah, I-I thought you'd
notice that last part.
307
00:23:06,317 --> 00:23:08,649
This pin jabber tried to fog him
with a stick of nitro,
308
00:23:08,719 --> 00:23:12,621
but Tommy smelled the blow, and creased
the horse rider with an ounce of lead.
309
00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:15,090
Really. That was nothing compared to the time...
310
00:23:15,159 --> 00:23:17,093
Tommy ran afoul
on Hound Dog Harry.
311
00:23:17,161 --> 00:23:20,062
He was tracking this dropper who
creased a wheelchair rider from Queens.
312
00:23:24,068 --> 00:23:28,266
Two martinis, extra dry and a
Shirley Temple... three dollars.
313
00:23:28,339 --> 00:23:30,864
Three dollars?
What a rip-off.
314
00:23:30,941 --> 00:23:35,640
It's 1953. Any downtown bar would
charge you a buck and a quarter, tops.
315
00:23:35,713 --> 00:23:39,444
- How did I, uh, die?
- Back-stopped an ounce of lead.
316
00:23:39,517 --> 00:23:42,975
- Klapper?
- Probably. But nobody ever collected on it.
317
00:23:43,053 --> 00:23:45,112
Who did the readers suspect?
318
00:23:45,189 --> 00:23:47,851
Everybody, from Joseph Stalin
to Colonel Mustard.
319
00:23:47,925 --> 00:23:52,953
But most of the folks voted for
your paramour, the Red Widow.
320
00:23:53,030 --> 00:23:55,191
- But they didn't prove it.
- Well, they couldn't...
321
00:23:55,266 --> 00:23:58,326
because Allison and Seymour disappeared
on the night of Nick's murder,
322
00:23:58,402 --> 00:24:00,495
which, by the way,
is tonight.
323
00:24:01,906 --> 00:24:03,840
Allison and Seymour?
324
00:24:03,908 --> 00:24:07,537
Rumor has it that they
flew off to Rio together.
325
00:24:07,611 --> 00:24:10,644
- Cigars. Cigarettes.
- I can't believe that.
326
00:24:10,645 --> 00:24:11,448
Hi, Nick.
327
00:24:11,449 --> 00:24:13,950
It does kind of stretch
the imagination, doesn't it?
328
00:24:14,018 --> 00:24:19,547
But, you know, some women have
kinky taste in men. Thank you.
329
00:24:19,623 --> 00:24:22,490
Thank God.
Al.
330
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,721
Maybe Klapper killed them
and then hid the bodies.
331
00:24:24,795 --> 00:24:28,162
No, your partner Phil, his
body was found in the office.
332
00:24:28,232 --> 00:24:32,692
And your... uh, Nick's body...
was found at La Guardia.
333
00:24:32,770 --> 00:24:36,137
So, if they were left where they were
dropped, why hide Allison and Seymour?
334
00:24:36,207 --> 00:24:38,869
I don't know, Al.
It just seems like...
335
00:24:38,943 --> 00:24:41,912
the most logical explanation.
336
00:24:41,979 --> 00:24:45,881
Well, the more logical one
is that Allison is Klapper.
337
00:24:45,950 --> 00:24:48,976
If you wanna have safe sex with her,
you'd better wear a bulletproof vest.
338
00:24:49,053 --> 00:24:52,386
- Al, come on.
- Oh, well, maybe I'm wrong.
339
00:24:52,456 --> 00:24:56,722
But with a body like that, how
could she be interested in Seymour,
340
00:24:56,794 --> 00:24:58,989
no matter
how kinky she is?
341
00:24:59,063 --> 00:25:04,091
She must have used him, and then when she
got tired of him, she blew him away in Rio.
342
00:25:04,168 --> 00:25:08,571
- Allison didn't blow anyone away.
- How do you know?
343
00:25:08,639 --> 00:25:11,403
- How do you know?
- Instinct.
344
00:25:11,475 --> 00:25:15,673
Well, my instinct tells me that that broad
has got you tied in knots this way, that way...
345
00:25:15,746 --> 00:25:18,408
Your instincts got you married
five times, right?
346
00:25:18,482 --> 00:25:21,246
That your Swiss
cheese brain remembers.
347
00:25:21,318 --> 00:25:24,014
Well, I wanna tell you
something, pal.
348
00:25:24,088 --> 00:25:26,454
You haven't been
getting any lately.
349
00:25:26,523 --> 00:25:28,457
Don't compare me to yourself.
350
00:25:28,525 --> 00:25:31,016
I think with my brain, and I don't
cloud my judgment with a bottle.
351
00:25:39,136 --> 00:25:43,800
Well, yeah, well, uh,
Tina's waiting for me.
352
00:25:43,874 --> 00:25:46,035
Uh, got a hot tip
in the eighth.
353
00:25:48,312 --> 00:25:50,542
A "Nostalgia Kills."
354
00:25:50,614 --> 00:25:55,642
That's a funny name, huh,
for a filly?
355
00:25:55,719 --> 00:25:58,119
You take my advice, pal.
356
00:25:58,188 --> 00:26:02,784
Don't go near La Guardia.
Anyplace but La Guardia.
357
00:26:08,499 --> 00:26:12,128
Why do we hurt people
for telling us the truth?
358
00:26:14,805 --> 00:26:16,864
Al was right.
359
00:26:16,941 --> 00:26:19,876
When it came to Allison,
I was as blind as a dead bat...
360
00:26:19,944 --> 00:26:23,311
and tighter than a granny knot
at a Cub Scout picnic.
361
00:26:23,380 --> 00:26:26,144
My God, I'm thinking like Seymour.
362
00:26:38,095 --> 00:26:40,063
This is for you, Bogie.
363
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,205
Everybody must think
Bogie looks like you.
364
00:26:59,283 --> 00:27:01,251
I think that's the other way
around, Seymour.
365
00:27:01,318 --> 00:27:03,718
Looks like it's gonna pour.
You wait here.
366
00:27:03,787 --> 00:27:06,312
I'll catch us a cab
on Madison.
367
00:27:13,597 --> 00:27:15,531
What's wrong?
368
00:27:17,001 --> 00:27:19,265
Look, Allison, um...
369
00:27:20,838 --> 00:27:23,739
Did you love Phil?
370
00:27:23,807 --> 00:27:25,741
What kind of a question
is that?
371
00:27:25,809 --> 00:27:27,902
The kind
that has to be asked.
372
00:27:27,978 --> 00:27:32,244
I was 16 when I met Phil.
373
00:27:33,584 --> 00:27:36,018
He was in Pittsburgh
for a divorce case.
374
00:27:37,788 --> 00:27:40,586
I guess you could say
he swept me off my feet.
375
00:27:40,657 --> 00:27:42,625
So you loved him.
376
00:27:42,693 --> 00:27:45,025
I loved the idea
of him.
377
00:27:45,095 --> 00:27:49,327
He was older.
He was from New York.
378
00:27:51,702 --> 00:27:55,103
To the daughter
of a steelworker,
379
00:27:55,172 --> 00:27:57,367
he was very sophisticated.
380
00:27:58,742 --> 00:28:00,767
Guess I was as naive
as Seymour, huh?
381
00:28:04,181 --> 00:28:06,115
No, I didn't love him.
382
00:28:11,688 --> 00:28:14,248
I think the only man
I ever loved is you.
383
00:28:40,617 --> 00:28:42,915
Where's that cab?
384
00:28:48,492 --> 00:28:51,586
I'll go get one.
Hurry.
385
00:28:54,763 --> 00:28:56,291
Nick!
386
00:28:56,366 --> 00:28:59,096
Get back!
387
00:29:05,809 --> 00:29:08,937
Where is he?
In the alley.
388
00:29:14,017 --> 00:29:16,349
He's gone.
389
00:29:18,255 --> 00:29:21,588
You're bleeding.
390
00:29:21,658 --> 00:29:24,286
Just a scratch.
391
00:29:24,361 --> 00:29:26,295
Angel.
392
00:29:37,207 --> 00:29:40,768
Sorry it took so long!
393
00:29:42,579 --> 00:29:44,979
Nick, you're creased.
Somebody shot at us.
394
00:29:45,048 --> 00:29:48,984
- Klapper?
- Gotham Towers.
395
00:29:49,052 --> 00:29:51,043
What took you so long, Seymour?
396
00:29:51,121 --> 00:29:53,817
The canaries were harder to find
than a hooker on Sunday morning.
397
00:29:53,891 --> 00:29:55,825
Plenty of canaries...
398
00:29:55,893 --> 00:29:58,487
- Plenty of cabs from what I could see.
- When I finally got one,
399
00:29:58,562 --> 00:30:01,759
this Hard Harry with a kisser that could
break a mirror in the next apartment...
400
00:30:01,832 --> 00:30:03,857
stepped on my daisy crushers...
Stop it!
401
00:30:03,934 --> 00:30:06,994
No one can be
as nerdy as you're acting.
402
00:30:07,070 --> 00:30:09,004
Nerdy?
403
00:30:09,072 --> 00:30:12,166
Wimpy, wussy,
dopey, goofy.
404
00:30:12,242 --> 00:30:14,642
You don't mean that, Nick. Every word of it.
405
00:30:14,711 --> 00:30:17,179
Look, you've been on me,
closer than my underwear,
406
00:30:17,247 --> 00:30:19,181
and it's getting boring.
Take it easy, Nick.
407
00:30:19,249 --> 00:30:23,185
He's gotta find out sometime that he's not gonna
be Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe or Thomas Magnum.
408
00:30:23,253 --> 00:30:25,585
Magnum? I don't wanna be like those guys.
409
00:30:25,656 --> 00:30:27,715
I just wanna be like you. Me?
410
00:30:27,791 --> 00:30:30,089
Kid.
411
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,687
If I'm lucky, I'm gonna spend the rest of my life
leaping around from one place to another...
412
00:30:33,764 --> 00:30:36,164
instead of face down
in a pool of blood.
413
00:30:36,233 --> 00:30:38,929
- Don't do this, Nick!
- It's done.
414
00:30:39,002 --> 00:30:42,494
From now on, you find
some other shamus to pester.
415
00:30:50,781 --> 00:30:53,579
Be right back.
416
00:30:55,285 --> 00:30:58,982
Nick's just tired and hurt.
He didn't mean it, Seymour.
417
00:30:59,056 --> 00:31:01,388
I think he did.
418
00:32:20,304 --> 00:32:22,238
Thank you.
419
00:32:25,042 --> 00:32:28,569
I already hurt one friend tonight.
I can't hurt two.
420
00:32:30,814 --> 00:32:34,750
Look, Seymour, you...
421
00:32:34,818 --> 00:32:39,152
you're not a nerd
or a wuss or a wimp...
422
00:32:39,222 --> 00:32:41,690
or any of the other names
that I called you.
423
00:32:41,758 --> 00:32:45,125
You're a neat kid
and a good friend.
424
00:32:45,195 --> 00:32:47,129
Thank you.
425
00:32:47,197 --> 00:32:52,294
The kind a guy can count on,
which is why I said what I did.
426
00:32:52,369 --> 00:32:54,303
I don't get it.
427
00:32:55,372 --> 00:32:57,704
I'm going after
Klapper tonight.
428
00:32:58,809 --> 00:33:01,334
I didn't want you
tagging along.
429
00:33:03,413 --> 00:33:05,347
You were afraid
I'd get hurt.
430
00:33:05,415 --> 00:33:07,349
Or in the way.
431
00:33:07,417 --> 00:33:10,113
Who is he, Nick?
I don't know.
432
00:33:10,187 --> 00:33:12,314
For a while,
I thought it was you.
433
00:33:12,389 --> 00:33:14,323
Me?
Yeah.
434
00:33:14,391 --> 00:33:16,325
You practically shoved me
into the elevator.
435
00:33:16,393 --> 00:33:20,386
And tonight when he tried to fog
me, you were flagging a canary.
436
00:33:20,464 --> 00:33:22,898
It could have been me, but it wasn't. Yeah.
437
00:33:22,966 --> 00:33:25,491
No, I realized that
in the cab.
438
00:33:25,569 --> 00:33:28,436
It was raining when Klapper
shot at me from the alley.
439
00:33:28,505 --> 00:33:30,632
If you were Klapper,
you would have been soaked.
440
00:33:30,707 --> 00:33:33,005
But you don't know who he is. I know where he is.
441
00:33:33,076 --> 00:33:36,239
And we're going after him.
No.
442
00:33:36,313 --> 00:33:38,372
I'm going after him.
443
00:33:38,448 --> 00:33:42,646
I could be an extra pair
of peepers, cover your seat.
444
00:33:42,719 --> 00:33:47,679
Nick, after what you said,
you owe it to me.
445
00:33:49,559 --> 00:33:51,925
Okay, kid,
446
00:33:51,995 --> 00:33:54,759
on two conditions.
Name 'em.
447
00:33:54,831 --> 00:33:57,026
One: You follow my orders
to the letter.
448
00:33:57,100 --> 00:33:59,034
And?
449
00:33:59,102 --> 00:34:01,127
Go get a raincoat
so you don't catch pneumonia.
450
00:34:01,204 --> 00:34:03,468
Gotcha!
451
00:34:07,477 --> 00:34:09,502
So long, Seymour.
452
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,887
I thought you'd never get here.
453
00:34:42,345 --> 00:34:45,007
Just missed the cab, huh?
454
00:34:51,955 --> 00:34:55,823
I got it. You laid a Ben Franklin on
the cocktail shaker at the Blue Island,
455
00:34:55,892 --> 00:34:59,828
and he opened up like a pencil pusher
from Toledo on his third martini.
456
00:34:59,896 --> 00:35:02,922
I gave the bartender
at the club $100,
457
00:35:02,999 --> 00:35:06,400
and he started talking like an accountant
from Toledo who'd had one too many?
458
00:35:06,469 --> 00:35:08,960
- That's what I said.
- Oh, God, I understood you.
459
00:35:09,038 --> 00:35:11,438
- Am I right?
- No.
460
00:35:11,507 --> 00:35:14,305
Then how do you know Klapper's
taking Allison to La Guardia?
461
00:35:14,377 --> 00:35:17,175
- And not vice versa.
- Al.
462
00:35:17,247 --> 00:35:19,442
Al? Who's Al?
463
00:35:19,515 --> 00:35:22,211
A... A friend.
A real good friend.
464
00:35:22,285 --> 00:35:24,412
Well, let's not get mushy
about it.
465
00:35:24,487 --> 00:35:26,546
The one who tipped you
to the Klapper.
466
00:35:26,623 --> 00:35:28,887
Well, he tipped me about a lot
of things, and I wouldn't listen.
467
00:35:28,958 --> 00:35:32,189
Well, maybe I went
a little too far.
468
00:35:32,262 --> 00:35:35,857
I got angry and I said some
things that I regret.
469
00:35:35,932 --> 00:35:39,129
He's the other friend
you hurt tonight?
470
00:35:39,202 --> 00:35:41,295
What, you jumped
on the kid too?
471
00:35:42,505 --> 00:35:45,065
- I'm afraid so.
- Aw, Sam.
472
00:35:45,141 --> 00:35:47,609
I'll bet you didn't want
him to get hurt either.
473
00:35:47,677 --> 00:35:50,202
Hurt?
474
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,078
Where are we going, Sam?
475
00:35:53,149 --> 00:35:56,050
- La Guardia.
- Yeah.
476
00:36:10,733 --> 00:36:15,227
Sam, uh, this is
very dangerous.
477
00:36:17,707 --> 00:36:21,643
- Allison's in there somewhere.
- That's why it's dangerous.
478
00:36:25,315 --> 00:36:27,408
It's a big bird roost, Nick.
479
00:36:27,483 --> 00:36:32,147
Yeah. All right, you take that end, I'll take
this one, and I'll meet you in the middle.
480
00:36:32,221 --> 00:36:35,190
- Gotcha!
- Seymour.
481
00:36:35,258 --> 00:36:40,924
Allison may have hired
Klapper to kill Phil.
482
00:36:40,997 --> 00:36:44,125
- Thanks.
- Nick, you can't think that.
483
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,499
- Well, no, but,
- Oh, Sam.
484
00:36:47,570 --> 00:36:49,800
As long as
there's a possibility,
485
00:36:49,872 --> 00:36:52,466
if you eyeball
my main squeeze,
486
00:36:52,542 --> 00:36:55,602
Peeping Tom her
until you can semaphore me.
487
00:36:55,678 --> 00:36:59,045
"Main squeeze"?
488
00:36:59,115 --> 00:37:01,709
Allison.
489
00:37:01,784 --> 00:37:05,515
"Main squeeze."
I gotta remember that one.
490
00:37:12,362 --> 00:37:16,662
What's wrong, Al? I thought you
were up on all this private eye lingo.
491
00:37:16,733 --> 00:37:20,464
I understood you.
I'm just wondering how in 20 years...
492
00:37:20,536 --> 00:37:24,939
"main squeeze" gets from
Seymour to black slang.
493
00:37:26,776 --> 00:37:29,711
I assume you're packing a roscoe.
494
00:37:29,779 --> 00:37:31,906
Yep.
495
00:37:31,981 --> 00:37:35,974
Would you use it on Allison
if you had to?
496
00:37:36,052 --> 00:37:38,247
Probably not.
497
00:37:38,321 --> 00:37:40,915
Great.
498
00:37:40,990 --> 00:37:44,482
Where you going? I'm going
to check the ladies' room.
499
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,461
- Al!
- Somebody's gotta do it.
500
00:37:55,638 --> 00:37:58,368
Bogie! Don't point, Allen. It's not polite.
501
00:37:58,441 --> 00:38:01,569
But it's Humphrey Bogart.
Mr. Bogart. Mr. Bogart!
502
00:38:01,644 --> 00:38:04,477
- This can't be.
- Oh, it is you. I knew it!
503
00:38:04,547 --> 00:38:07,846
- Allen, leave the poor man alone.
- I've seen all your movies.
504
00:38:07,917 --> 00:38:12,377
Ever since I could curl my lip, I wanted
to be like you. I even dream you talk to me.
505
00:38:12,455 --> 00:38:15,356
You know, give me advice, like
how to get Annie up to my bedroom.
506
00:38:16,793 --> 00:38:19,785
Lionel, gee,
what are you doing here?
507
00:38:22,298 --> 00:38:24,232
Move.
508
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:27,633
My analyst calls it neurotic.
Of course it's neurotic.
509
00:38:27,703 --> 00:38:29,796
If he lived with my mother,
he'd be neurotic too.
510
00:38:29,872 --> 00:38:32,705
She drives me bananas.
511
00:38:32,775 --> 00:38:34,709
Excuse me.
512
00:38:39,048 --> 00:38:40,982
- See what you did?
- I just wanted his autograph.
513
00:38:41,050 --> 00:38:43,450
You want an autograph?
Here's an autograph.
514
00:39:29,966 --> 00:39:32,093
Lionel, let him go.
515
00:39:34,237 --> 00:39:36,762
We don't wanna
hurt him, Nick.
516
00:39:36,839 --> 00:39:40,104
All Allison and I want
is out of New York.
517
00:39:40,176 --> 00:39:44,272
Nick won't let... Nick, you have to face reality.
518
00:39:44,347 --> 00:39:47,805
She doesn't love you
any more than she loved Phil.
519
00:39:47,884 --> 00:39:51,251
- Is that why you killed him?
- He wouldn't face the truth.
520
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,051
We had no choice.
But you're smarter, Nick.
521
00:39:55,124 --> 00:39:57,149
Always were!
522
00:39:57,226 --> 00:39:59,956
Where's Allison?
523
00:40:00,029 --> 00:40:03,089
Seymour's dying, Nick!
524
00:40:03,166 --> 00:40:05,293
What's it gonna be?
525
00:40:21,250 --> 00:40:24,981
How many shots was that now
that he fired so far?
526
00:40:25,054 --> 00:40:27,079
- Get down, Al!
- Why?
527
00:40:27,156 --> 00:40:29,647
He can't see me
or hear me.
528
00:40:29,725 --> 00:40:33,354
You stay down.
I'll go find him for you.
529
00:40:33,429 --> 00:40:36,023
Al.
530
00:40:39,202 --> 00:40:41,568
There you are,
you sneaky devil.
531
00:40:43,906 --> 00:40:45,840
He's right over here, Sam.
532
00:40:50,279 --> 00:40:52,770
You couldn't hit an elephant
in a tunnel.
533
00:40:52,848 --> 00:40:54,839
Boy, are you in
for a big surprise.
534
00:40:54,917 --> 00:40:56,885
Sam, he doesn't know
where you are.
535
00:40:56,953 --> 00:40:59,046
He's gonna shoot,
now duck!
536
00:41:00,456 --> 00:41:06,258
Sam, go to the back of the hangar,
and then make your way toward me.
537
00:41:06,329 --> 00:41:09,765
Don't you ever clean your mustache?
You got gunk in there. It's yucky.
538
00:41:09,832 --> 00:41:11,891
Gonna shoot again!
539
00:41:11,968 --> 00:41:14,766
Ah! Now, Sam!
540
00:41:14,837 --> 00:41:19,297
He's out of bullets. He's loading
up. Get over here. Hurry Up!
541
00:41:19,375 --> 00:41:22,640
Sam, hurry! Where the hell are you, Sam?
542
00:41:26,215 --> 00:41:29,082
Don't even think about it,
you mug.
543
00:41:29,151 --> 00:41:33,110
Oh, no, Sam. Sam,
that's Edward G. Robinson.
544
00:41:51,874 --> 00:41:55,071
How could I have turned Lionel on
and not realized it?
545
00:41:58,014 --> 00:42:01,780
You know, the funny part is
I kind of feel sorry for him.
546
00:42:03,919 --> 00:42:05,853
Yeah, me too.
547
00:42:07,390 --> 00:42:09,756
Nick, take me away from this.
548
00:42:11,961 --> 00:42:15,089
My apartment?
549
00:42:15,164 --> 00:42:19,760
Actually, I was thinking
of someplace a little farther.
550
00:42:27,076 --> 00:42:29,340
Where'd you get those?
551
00:42:29,412 --> 00:42:33,815
Well, I know some people
might think it's a little bizarre,
552
00:42:33,883 --> 00:42:36,511
but the poor soul
did pay for them.
553
00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:39,654
Where are they to?
554
00:42:41,157 --> 00:42:43,182
Does it matter?
555
00:43:14,357 --> 00:43:18,123
You, uh,
you wanna board, Angel?
556
00:43:18,194 --> 00:43:20,719
I'll join you in a minute.
557
00:43:23,332 --> 00:43:26,165
Don't make me wait too long.
558
00:43:27,236 --> 00:43:29,363
It's a sleeper flight.
559
00:43:43,586 --> 00:43:47,317
I don't think
you can take that plane.
560
00:43:47,390 --> 00:43:51,258
Oh, Al.
I'm gonna get on that plane,
561
00:43:51,327 --> 00:43:53,659
'cause if I don't, I'm gonna
regret it for the rest of my life.
562
00:43:53,729 --> 00:43:55,663
Maybe not today,
maybe not tomorrow, but...
563
00:43:55,731 --> 00:43:59,030
No, no, I've seen
the picture, Sam.
564
00:43:59,101 --> 00:44:03,037
Oh, well, good.
Then you know how it ends.
565
00:44:25,628 --> 00:44:28,597
- Sam.
- What?
566
00:44:28,664 --> 00:44:32,896
I didn't say you didn't want to go with her.
I said I didn't think you could.
567
00:44:32,968 --> 00:44:35,664
- Who's gonna stop me?
- Nick!
568
00:44:36,739 --> 00:44:40,539
He tried to kill me,
to choke me to death.
569
00:44:40,609 --> 00:44:44,409
Don't you mean the loony tune tried
to fog me with a chicken throttle?
570
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,675
Nick, this was for real.
571
00:44:46,749 --> 00:44:49,411
Isn't that what
you're looking for, Seymour?
572
00:44:49,485 --> 00:44:52,045
A chance to duke it out
with the Hard Harry's...
573
00:44:52,121 --> 00:44:56,023
on a night as quiet as the
city morgue on a slow day.
574
00:44:56,091 --> 00:44:58,992
Maybe it would be more fun
to just read about it.
575
00:44:59,061 --> 00:45:02,997
Yeah, or write about it.
576
00:45:03,065 --> 00:45:06,626
Me?
Become a writer?
577
00:45:06,702 --> 00:45:09,068
Yeah, why not?
With your imagination...
578
00:45:09,138 --> 00:45:13,404
and flair for similes,
how could you miss?
579
00:45:13,476 --> 00:45:16,343
Nick?
580
00:45:16,412 --> 00:45:18,846
Hurry.
581
00:45:18,914 --> 00:45:20,848
Oh, boy.
582
00:45:24,820 --> 00:45:28,187
The fog was as thick
as hash house oatmeal...
583
00:45:28,257 --> 00:45:32,353
and twice as cold,
as her hips said good-bye.
584
00:45:32,428 --> 00:45:35,522
Maybe she was too much
moonlight and orchids for me,
585
00:45:35,598 --> 00:45:39,261
but I couldn't help wishing
that my daisy crunchers and hers...
586
00:45:39,335 --> 00:45:42,065
could be outside
the same hotel room door.
587
00:45:42,137 --> 00:45:45,664
You were here to launch
a new pulp novelist.
588
00:45:45,741 --> 00:45:48,642
No. No, no, no.
589
00:45:48,711 --> 00:45:51,441
Sam, I think...
Don't say it, Al.
590
00:45:51,514 --> 00:45:54,847
This is the start
of a wonderful friendship.
591
00:45:54,917 --> 00:45:56,851
You couldn't resist,
could you?
592
00:46:11,834 --> 00:46:14,769
You'd better hurry.
You'll be late for your new job,
593
00:46:14,837 --> 00:46:18,329
Miss Youngest Executive Secretary
at the company.
594
00:46:21,810 --> 00:46:23,903
"Miss"?
