Maybe she has.
You're forgetting the check for your suitcase. It's at the Grand Central.
Oh, yes yes that's right
Nick Charles here?
Yes. Nick!
You his wife?
Yes.
He's a good guy. He sent me up the river once. Hey, Nick!
Was he a good detective?
I wouldn't know. That time he caught me was a accident. I led with my right.
Come on out, now. He won't hurt you. Back to your old tricks, eh, Tanner?
No, Mr. Charles.
How did you get in here?
I had a key. I worked here... till they closed the shop.
You worked here?
Yes, sir. Julia Wolf got me a job as bookkeeper.
Well, that's a hot one. You a bookkeeper! When were you ever a bookkeeper?
That time you sent me up last ... I learned bookkeeping at Sing Sing. I figured it might be an in for me somewhere's.
Somewhere's where they might go out and leave the safe open?
Honest, Mr, Charles. I never touched that safe. Them bonds that were missing... Julia took them.
Trying to put it off on her?
Mr. Charles she did that's why he got sore at her and killed her. Listen, Mr. Charles I did do a little chiseling. I come to bring it back and fix up the books. I didn't want him to find out and come after me
You can save that and tell it to the police. They'll be here in a minute.
Police!
I'm sorry. Tanner, don't you want some wine?
No... no.
That's what Mr. Wynant said to me. If she remarried, all the money was to go to the children.
You shouldn't let that keep you from telling truth, Mimi. Mrs. Jorgensen Were you ever divorced from Chris Jorgensen?
So it's you he was after!
Hello, baby.
He's dragged me into every gin mill on the block.
I had him out this morning.
I thought so. He even tried to drag me into the gentlemen's
Oh, this is Andy
You might have mentioned me first.
He's welltrained. He'll behave himself.
As long as there isn't a fire hydrant. What I've gone through
Pretty girl.
If you like 'em like that.
You got types?
Only you, darling... lanky brunettes with wicked jaws.
Who is she?
I was hoping I wouldn't have to tell you. Dorothy is really my daughter. You see, it was Spring in Venice, and I was so young. I didn't know what I was doing. We were all like that on my father's side.
By the way, how is your father's side?
Much better, thanks.
How many drinks have you had?
Six Martinis.
Six Martinis. You're not going to have anything on me.
What hit me?
That last Martini.
I can't lie here. I've got to get up and trim that darned Christmas tree.
Take it easy.
Who's that?
Santa Claus.
Come on relax Give them a drink.
We need ice.
I'd better order some food. That sounds like an interesting case. Wouldn't you like to take it?
I haven't the time. I'm much too busy seeing that you don't lose any of the money I married you for.
Room service, please
Sounds like a good case. Girl mysteriously murdered. No one knows who did it. They haven't found any clues yet no gun no fingerprints
I wonder if they've I don't want to hear anything about it.
Isn't that my drink?
What are you drinking?
Rye.
Where did you get that?
She brought it in. Trying to make me believe she did it.
What are you going to do with it?
Nothing, 'til I find out if it's the gun Julia Wolf was killed with. Keep her in here, and don't let those reporters see her. They might believe her.
She didn't tell me a thing.
Too bad you didn't bring your whip.
Nick! Nick! Are you asleep?
Yes.
Good. I want to talk to you.
That's jolly.
Don't you think you'd like to go back to detecting once in a while, just for the fun of it?
Can't you get to sleep?
No.
Maybe a drink would help you.
No thanks.
Maybe it would if I took it.
Everybody says you were a grand detective.
They were kidding you.
I'd like to see you work.
Tomorrow I'll buy you a whole lot of detective stories.
That poor girl is in a tough spot.
There's nothing I can do to help her.
She thinks you can. It wouldn't hurt you to find out if you could, would it?
Darling, my guess is that Wynant killed Julia and Dorothy knows it. And the police'll catch him without my help.
I think I would like that drink. I'll give you your Christmas present now if you'll give me mine.
At breakfast.
But it's Christmas now.
Breakfast.
What are you going to give me? I hope I don't like it.
You'll have to keep them anyway. The man at the Aquarium said that he wouldn't take them back.
Nick! Nick! There's someone to she you,
That's great. I was afraid I'd have to go to sleep.
You idiot! Asta! Stop that! Get down! Now, stay there.
All right... shoot! I mean... what's on your mind?
It's all right. It just grazed me.
Someone get a doctor.
