00:04:39 It's good to see you, Austin.
00:07:22 Yes.
00:10:01 Yeah, but it wouldn't be possible
00:12:49 But I want to know, step by step, what they're doing.
00:15:25 What do you want with us?
00:17:45 The man in the gray coat and the brown hat.
00:21:52 I apologize for the trouble I've caused you.
00:25:04 But there's an awful lot of research involved.
00:27:50 But you'll understand later.
00:31:31 And how about that new black car he drives?
00:36:14 Let's go back.
00:39:35 I'm not going to try the case here, Mr. Garrett.
00:42:11 Now will you help me if you can?
00:44:58 I withdraw the question, your honor.
00:48:04 For the loss of this valuable lighter
00:51:24 I certainly did not.
00:55:01 Getting upset's not going to help at all.
00:59:18 Tom, I've got to know the truth.
01:03:08 What was there to say?
01:06:06 To give us more time.
01:09:08 Uh, rum and coke?
01:12:37 The dates, the places, the explanations.
01:16:25 You've done a lot for me.
