00:03:54 She's decided not to employ you, or anybody, for that matter.
00:06:31 If I take the case... $25 a day and expenses.
00:09:02 Once in a while.
00:11:17 I think I can help you there.
00:14:38 I just hate having guns pointed at me.
00:17:59 Alright...who is it?
00:23:15 Well now, since it's so simple...
00:26:57 But I had a hunch the boys from Homicide would be sceptical.
00:30:04 I'm not trying to trick you and I didn't take it out of your desk.
00:32:03 Quite a simple story really.
00:34:06 - Leslie...didn't you have a date? - I did.
00:37:36 And you claim that the Brasher Doubloon is yours, eh?
00:40:28 Merle Davis?
00:43:57 But I suppose I can't blame you. I do owe you an apology.
00:46:59 Then she told me to send you the telegram.
00:48:59 Just empty your pockets

01:07:46 I've had enough of this...
01:10:05 But I've had my revenge! Just look at you!
