2700:03:23,578 --> 00:03:27,789-I made him feel like a good Samaritan.-He knew you were lying.

2800:03:27,957 --> 00:03:31,126Ah, in the world of advertising,there's no such thing as a lie.

2900:03:31,294 --> 00:03:35,255There's only the expedient exaggeration.You ought to know that.

3000:03:35,423 --> 00:03:38,258-Say, do I look heavyish to you?-What?

3100:03:38,426 --> 00:03:39,843I feel heavyish.

3200:03:40,011 --> 00:03:42,512"Think thin."

3300:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,473"Think thin."

3800:03:55,235 --> 00:03:59,154I'll have had two martinis at the Oak Bar,so she needn't bother to sniff my breath.


4/117

3900:03:59,322 --> 00:04:02,157-She doesn't do that.-Sure she does. Like a bloodhound.

4000:04:02,325 --> 00:04:05,827Bigelow at 10:30 is your first tomorrow,the Skin Glow rehearsal at noon...

4100:04:05,995 --> 00:04:07,996...then lunch with Falcon and his wife.

4500:04:15,129 --> 00:04:17,714Here, driver, take this ladyback where she belongs.

4600:04:17,882 --> 00:04:19,883-Right.-That ought to cover it.

4800:04:23,304 --> 00:04:26,181-Good night, Mr. Thornhill.-Good night, sweetie.

4900:04:28,851 --> 00:04:32,020

Oh, wait, Maggie. You can't call her.She's at Mrs.--

5000:04:54,043 --> 00:04:55,377-Good evening.Good evening.

5100:04:55,545 --> 00:04:57,963

5200:04:58,131 --> 00:04:59,881Yes, sir. Right this way.

5300:05:01,134 --> 00:05:02,175Herman.-Roger.

-How do you do?-Larry Wade.

5700:05:07,515 --> 00:05:10,559-We got a little head start here.-Oh, that won't last long.

5800:05:10,727 --> 00:05:15,230I was telling Larry and Fanning you may beslow on starting but there's nobody faster.

5900:05:15,398 --> 00:05:18,817-What's the matter? You've got the fidgets.-I just did something stupid.

6000:05:18,985 --> 00:05:22,571I told my secretary to call Mother.I realized she won't be able to reach her.

6100:05:22,739 --> 00:05:25,699Why not?

-She's playing bridge at one of her cronies'.

6200:05:25,867 --> 00:05:28,285-Your secretary?-No. My mother.

6300:05:28,453 --> 00:05:31,496One of those new apartments.

6600:05:42,050 --> 00:05:44,301-Kaplan.-I've got to get off a wire immediately.

6700:05:44,469 --> 00:05:46,762Could you send it for meif I write it out for you?

6800:05:46,929 --> 00:05:49,431

Oh, I'm not permitted to do that, sir,but if you'll follow me.

6900:05:49,599 --> 00:05:52,434-Oh. Will you excuse me, gentlemen?-Go right ahead.

7000:05:55,938 --> 00:05:57,814-Right through there, sir.-Yeah, thanks.

7100:05:57,982 --> 00:05:59,649Thank you, sir.

7200:06:01,611 --> 00:06:03,111Wait, what's that supposed to be?

7300:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,740The car's waiting outside.You will walk between us saying nothing.

7400:06:06,908 --> 00:06:09,076-What are you talking about?-Let's go.

7500:06:09,243 --> 00:06:12,287Let's go where? Who--? Who are you?

7/117

00:06:12,455 --> 00:06:14,539Mere errand boyscarrying concealed weapons.

7700:06:14,707 --> 00:06:18,668His is pointed at your heart. So, please,no errors of judgment, I beg of you.

7800:06:18,836 --> 00:06:20,629What is this, a joke or something?

7900:06:20,797 --> 00:06:24,132-Yes, a joke. We will laugh in the car.-Come.

8000:06:24,300 --> 00:06:25,801But this is ridiculous.

8100:06:46,906 --> 00:06:49,950

Don't tell me where we're going,surprise me.

8200:06:51,828 --> 00:06:54,496You know, I left some friends back therein the Oak Bar.

8300:06:54,664 --> 00:06:56,540They're going to think I'm awfully rude.

84

00:06:56,707 --> 00:06:59,501I mean, uh, couldn't we stop offat a drugstore for a moment...

8500:06:59,669 --> 00:07:03,922...so that I could explainI'm being, uh, kidnapped?

8600:07:04,090 --> 00:07:06,675Well, that is what's happening, isn't it?

8700:07:15,977 --> 00:07:17,394Locked.

8800:07:30,032 --> 00:07:32,033Who's Townsend?

8900:07:33,744 --> 00:07:35,328


8/117

Really?

9000:07:35,496 --> 00:07:37,205Interesting.

9100:08:21,417 --> 00:08:23,168-Where is he?-Upstairs, dressing.

9200:08:23,336 --> 00:08:25,754-Tell him I'm here.-The dinner guests are expected.

9300:08:25,922 --> 00:08:27,964"Kaplan."

9400:08:28,132 --> 00:08:30,383By the way,what are we having for dessert?

9500:08:30,551 --> 00:08:32,135-Is anyone in the library?-No.

9600:08:32,303 --> 00:08:33,762This way.

9700:08:44,941 --> 00:08:46,107You will wait here.

9800:08:46,275 --> 00:08:49,194Well, don't hurry.I'll catch up on my reading.

9900:09:31,904 --> 00:09:32,946Good evening.

10000:09:56,512 --> 00:09:59,556Not what I expected. A little taller.

10100:10:00,016 --> 00:10:02,350A little more polished than the others.

10200:10:03,227 --> 00:10:06,187Oh, I'm so glad you're pleased,Mr. Townsend.


9/117

10300:10:06,355 --> 00:10:09,691But I'm afraid just as obvious.

10400:10:10,318 --> 00:10:13,153What the devil is all this about?Why was I brought here?

10500:10:15,364 --> 00:10:17,866Games? Must we?

10600:10:19,118 --> 00:10:20,869Not that I mind a case of abduction...

10700:10:21,037 --> 00:10:23,663...but I have ticketsfor the theater this evening.

10800:10:23,831 --> 00:10:28,376

To a show I was looking forward to. And Iget unreasonable about things like that.

10900:10:28,544 --> 00:10:32,505With such expert play-acting,you make this very room a theater.

11000:10:33,633 --> 00:10:37,135Oh, Leonard,have you met our distinguished guest?

11100:10:38,721 --> 00:10:40,513He's a well-tailored one, isn't he?

11200:10:41,057 --> 00:10:44,559My secretary is a great admirerof your methods, Mr. Kaplan.

11300:10:44,727 --> 00:10:48,813-Elusiveness, however misguided---Wait a minute. Wait, wait.

11400:10:48,981 --> 00:10:51,941-Did you call me "Kaplan"?-I know you're a man of many names...

11500:10:52,109 --> 00:10:54,819...but I'm perfectly willing to acceptyour current choice.


10/117

11600:10:54,987 --> 00:10:56,154Current choice?

11700:10:56,322 --> 00:10:59,616My name is Thornhill. Roger Thornhill.It's never been anything else.

11800:10:59,784 --> 00:11:01,326Of course.

11900:11:01,911 --> 00:11:05,705Your friends picked up the wrong packagewhen they bundled me out here in the car.

12000:11:05,873 --> 00:11:07,749Do sit down, Mr. Kaplan.

121

00:11:08,209 --> 00:11:11,336I told you, I'm not Kaplan,whoever he is. I'm--

12200:11:11,504 --> 00:11:13,046-Excuse me.Yes?

12300:11:13,214 --> 00:11:14,422The guests are here, dear.

12400:11:14,590 --> 00:11:17,759Look after them.I'll be with you in a few minutes.

12500:11:19,553 --> 00:11:21,596Now, shall we get down to business?

12600:11:21,764 --> 00:11:22,931I'm all for that.

12700:11:23,099 --> 00:11:26,434Simply, I'd like you to tell mehow much you know of our arrangements...

12800:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,728...and how you've come bythis information.


11/117

12900:11:28,896 --> 00:11:31,439-I don't expect to get this for nothing.-Of course not.

13000:11:31,607 --> 00:11:35,068Don't misunderstand, I don't expect youto fall in with this suggestion...

13100:11:35,236 --> 00:11:39,739...but the least I can do is afford youthe opportunity of surviving the evening.

13200:11:42,952 --> 00:11:44,911What the devil is that supposed to mean?

13300:11:45,079 --> 00:11:47,706Why don't you surprise me,Mr. Kaplan, and say yes?

13400:11:47,873 --> 00:11:50,709I've already told you---We know where you're headed for.

13500:11:50,876 --> 00:11:51,960I know where I'm headed.

13600:11:52,128 --> 00:11:56,464I'm headed for the Winter Garden Theater inNew York, and I think I'd better get going.

13700:12:04,974 --> 00:12:07,100Townsend,you're making a serious mistake.

13800:12:07,518 --> 00:12:11,312This is not going to leadto a very happy conclusion, Mr. Kaplan.

13900:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,482

I'm not Kaplan.-I do wish you'd reconsider.

14000:12:14,650 --> 00:12:19,237We also know your contact in Pittsburghsince Jason committed suicide.

14100:12:19,405 --> 00:12:22,657


12/117

What contact?I've never even been in Pittsburgh.

14200:12:23,325 --> 00:12:26,661On June the 16th, you checkedinto the Sherwyn Hotel in Pittsburgh...

14300:12:26,829 --> 00:12:29,789...as Mr. George Kaplanof Berkeley, California.

14400:12:29,957 --> 00:12:32,834A week later, you registeredat the Benjamin Franklin Hotel...

14500:12:33,002 --> 00:12:34,753...as Mr. George Kaplan of Pittsburgh.

14600:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,338

On August 11th,you stayed at the Statler in Boston.

14700:12:37,506 --> 00:12:41,176August the 29th, George Kaplan of Bostonregistered at the Whittier in Detroit.

14800:12:41,343 --> 00:12:43,511At present, you are registeredin room 796...

14900:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,765...at the Plaza Hotel in New Yorkas Mr. George Kaplan of Detroit.

15000:12:46,932 --> 00:12:48,016-Really?-In two days...

15100:12:48,184 --> 00:12:51,436...you are due at the Ambassador East

in Chicago.

15200:12:51,604 --> 00:12:55,273And then at the Sheraton-Johnson Hotelin Rapid City, South Dakota.

15300:12:55,441 --> 00:12:57,358-Not me.


13/117

-There's very little sense...

15400:12:57,526 --> 00:13:01,362...in maintaining that you're deceiving usany more than we're deceiving you.

15500:13:01,530 --> 00:13:04,532I don't suppose it would do any goodto show you ID cards...

15600:13:04,700 --> 00:13:08,787-...a driver's license, things like that?-They provide you with such good ones.

15700:13:09,705 --> 00:13:12,332It's getting late. I have guests.

15800:13:12,500 --> 00:13:15,919Do you intend to cooperate with us?

I'd like a simple yes or no.

15900:13:16,086 --> 00:13:17,295A simple no.

16000:13:17,463 --> 00:13:21,382For the simple reason I simply don't knowwhat you're talking about.

16100:13:25,387 --> 00:13:27,430

Give Mr. Kaplan a drink, Leonard.

16200:13:27,598 --> 00:13:29,307A pleasant journey, sir.

16300:13:40,611 --> 00:13:46,991-Scotch? Rye? Bourbon? Vodka?-Nothing. I'll take a quick ride back to town.

16400:13:47,159 --> 00:13:48,910

Oh, that has been arranged.

16500:13:49,078 --> 00:13:52,413But first, a libation.

16600:13:52,581 --> 00:13:53,665Bourbon.


14/117

16700:13:54,250 --> 00:13:57,168You drink it.I've had enough stimulation for one day.

16800:13:57,336 --> 00:14:02,507It'll be easier if you take this yourself.Otherwise, it'll be necessary for us to insist.

16900:14:15,938 --> 00:14:17,605Cheers.

17000:15:05,779 --> 00:15:08,072Don't worry about me, fellas.I'll take the bus.

17100:17:59,995 --> 00:18:01,329Thanks for the lift, fellas.

172

00:18:01,497 --> 00:18:04,207I want this man examined for drivingwhile intoxicated.

17300:18:04,374 --> 00:18:05,666-Really?-Yeah.

17400:18:05,834 --> 00:18:09,587You see, they tried to kill me.He won't listen to me.

17500:18:09,755 --> 00:18:11,923In a big house, they tried to kill me.

17600:18:12,091 --> 00:18:15,218-All right, let's just go inside.-I don't wanna go inside.

17700:18:15,385 --> 00:18:19,263-Somebody call the police.

-Come on. Come on now.

17800:18:19,431 --> 00:18:20,890Okay.

17900:18:28,982 --> 00:18:30,399Sit down.


15/117

18000:18:31,151 --> 00:18:32,693I don't wanna sit.

22700:21:12,437 --> 00:21:13,688

What were you drinking?

22800:21:13,855 --> 00:21:16,065Well, bourbon.See, these two fellas, they--

22900:21:16,233 --> 00:21:18,818-How much would you say you drank?-What did you say?

230

00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:22,530-How much would you say that you drank?-About this much.

23100:21:22,698 --> 00:21:26,200Mr. Thornhill, it is my opinionthat you are definitely intoxicated.

23200:21:26,368 --> 00:21:27,410No question about it.

23300:21:27,577 --> 00:21:29,870I am now gonna ask your permissionto draw blood.

23400:21:30,038 --> 00:21:31,038How disgusting.

235


19/117

00:21:31,206 --> 00:21:33,624"You may refuse to permit a blood testto be made...

23600:21:33,792 --> 00:21:35,918...but if you do,your license will be revoked.

23700:21:36,086 --> 00:21:38,379You have the rightto notify a physician of...."

23800:21:38,547 --> 00:21:41,549It was at this pointthat Mr. Thornhill succeeded in escaping...

23900:21:41,717 --> 00:21:45,052...from his would-be assassins,and when they gave chase...

24000:21:45,220 --> 00:21:49,223...he naturally had to drive as best he couldunder the, uh, circumstances.

24100:21:49,391 --> 00:21:52,059Counselor,how long have you known your client?

24200:21:52,227 --> 00:21:53,352Seven years, Your Honor.

24300:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,813Do you know himto be a reasonable man?

24400:21:56,106 --> 00:21:58,149Absolutely.-Ha.

24500:21:59,318 --> 00:22:00,735

-Mother.And do you believe...

24600:22:00,902 --> 00:22:03,696...there is some credence to this story?

24700:22:03,864 --> 00:22:05,406-Credence?


20/117

-Well, yes, Your Honor.

24800:22:05,574 --> 00:22:07,950I mean, if my client saysthis is what happened...

24900:22:08,118 --> 00:22:10,703-...I'm certain it must've happened.-You're damn right.

25000:22:11,455 --> 00:22:15,374Sergeant, I want this turned overto the county detectives for investigation.

25100:22:15,542 --> 00:22:17,918Call them upand have them come here immediately.

25200:22:18,086 --> 00:22:19,754

-Right, Your Honor.Counselor...

25300:22:19,921 --> 00:22:22,423...I'm going to set this over for finaldisposition...

25400:22:22,591 --> 00:22:24,342...tomorrow night at 7:30.

255

00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:28,095At which time I expect you and thedefendant to be here, ready to go to trial.

25600:22:28,263 --> 00:22:32,433In the meantime, the county detectives willdetermine if his story has any basis in fact.

25700:22:33,310 --> 00:22:36,771"Basis in fact"? If I were brought in dead,you still wouldn't believe--

25800:22:36,938 --> 00:22:38,064Roger, wait a minute.

25900:22:38,231 --> 00:22:41,025I mean, after all, Your Honor,would I make up such a story?


21/117

26000:22:41,193 --> 00:22:45,780That is precisely whatwe're intending to find out, Mr. Thornhill.

26100:23:03,131 --> 00:23:05,424-Yes?Remember me?

26200:23:05,592 --> 00:23:06,842-Yes, sir.Good.

26300:23:07,010 --> 00:23:10,388-Is Mr. Townsend at home?-No, I'm sorry he's left for the day, sir.

26400:23:10,555 --> 00:23:12,431Mrs. Townsend?

26500:23:12,599 --> 00:23:15,476-Who shall I say is calling?-County detectives.

26600:23:15,644 --> 00:23:17,395Come in, please.

26700:23:27,114 --> 00:23:29,281This way, please.

26800:23:39,084 --> 00:23:40,418This is the room.

26900:23:40,585 --> 00:23:42,586-I'll call madam.You do that.

27000:23:42,754 --> 00:23:44,797And here's the sofawhere they held me down.

27100:23:44,965 --> 00:23:48,259They spilled bourbon all over it.I'll show you the stains.

27200:23:50,929 --> 00:23:53,305Well, they must've cleaned them off.


22/117

27300:23:53,473 --> 00:23:55,766This is the cabinetwhere they keep the liquor.

27400:23:55,934 --> 00:23:58,227Scotch, gin, vodka....

27500:23:59,521 --> 00:24:01,355And bourbon.

27600:24:03,358 --> 00:24:06,152I remember when it used to comein bottles.

27700:24:09,030 --> 00:24:13,659Roger, dear,we were so worried about you.

278

00:24:14,327 --> 00:24:17,288Did you get home all right?Of course you did.

27900:24:17,456 --> 00:24:20,666Let me look at you.Oh, a little pink-eyed, but aren't we all?

28000:24:20,834 --> 00:24:23,544It was a dull party.You didn't miss a thing.

28100:24:23,712 --> 00:24:26,797I want you all to know,I never saw this woman before last night.

28200:24:28,175 --> 00:24:30,801I'm Captain Junketof the Nassau County Detectives.

28300:24:30,969 --> 00:24:33,721

-This is Lieutenant Harding.-How do you do?

28400:24:33,889 --> 00:24:36,307You haven't gotten into trouble, Roger?

28500:24:36,475 --> 00:24:38,893-Stop calling me Roger.


23/117

-Has he gotten into trouble?

28600:24:39,060 --> 00:24:43,481Mr. Thornhill was picked up last nightdriving under the influence of alcohol...

28700:24:43,648 --> 00:24:46,150-...and incidentally, in a stolen car.-Stolen car?

28800:24:46,318 --> 00:24:48,736Belonging to Mrs. Babsonof Twining Road.

28900:24:48,904 --> 00:24:51,280Roger, you saidyou were going to call a cab.

29000:24:51,448 --> 00:24:56,494

-You didn't borrow Laura's Mercedes?-No, I didn't borrow Laura's Mercedes.

29100:24:56,661 --> 00:25:00,998Mr. Thornhill told us that he was broughtto this house against his will last night...

29200:25:01,166 --> 00:25:04,251...and, uh, forcibly intoxicatedby some friends of your husband...

29300:25:04,419 --> 00:25:05,836...and set out on the road.

29400:25:06,004 --> 00:25:08,589-Do you know anything about this?-Well, now, captain...

29500:25:08,757 --> 00:25:11,675...Roger was a bit tipsywhen he arrived here by cab for dinner.

29600:25:11,843 --> 00:25:12,885She's lying.

29700:25:13,053 --> 00:25:14,929And I'm afraid he became even worse...

298


24/117

00:25:15,096 --> 00:25:16,263...as the evening wore on.

29900:25:16,431 --> 00:25:19,558Finally, he told us he had to go hometo sleep it off.

30000:25:19,726 --> 00:25:22,186Oh, I knewI should've served dinner earlier.

30100:25:22,354 --> 00:25:23,896What a performance.

30200:25:24,064 --> 00:25:27,525Mrs. Townsend, does the nameGeorge Kaplan mean anything to you?

30300:25:27,692 --> 00:25:28,901

George Kaplan?

30400:25:29,986 --> 00:25:31,737-No.-I didn't think so.

30500:25:32,489 --> 00:25:35,366Where's her husband?He's the one you should be questioning.

306

00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:39,286-Is there any place he can be reached?-Why, yes. The United Nations.

30700:25:40,205 --> 00:25:41,247United Nat--?

30800:25:41,414 --> 00:25:44,458He's addressingthe General Assembly this afternoon.

30900:25:46,127 --> 00:25:48,504All right. So he's addressingthe General Assembly.

31000:25:48,672 --> 00:25:51,966-Sorry we had to bother you.-No bother at all.


25/117

31100:25:54,761 --> 00:25:56,470Now, wait a minute.

31200:26:02,477 --> 00:26:04,979Will you be wantingto get in touch with my husband?

31300:26:05,146 --> 00:26:07,356No, Mrs. Townsend,that won't be necessary.

31400:26:07,524 --> 00:26:09,817You mean you're not gonnado any more about this?

31500:26:09,985 --> 00:26:14,071Roger. Pay the two dollars.

316

00:26:29,129 --> 00:26:30,170Goodbye.

31700:26:57,490 --> 00:27:01,076-I don't see why you want me along.-You lend a certain air of respectability.

31800:27:01,244 --> 00:27:03,162Don't be sarcastic, Roger.

319

00:27:14,215 --> 00:27:17,051There you are, dear. Park yourself there.

32000:27:17,218 --> 00:27:19,386Well, here goes. Ahem.

32600:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,400You see?

32700:27:33,568 --> 00:27:35,694I see. I hope he clears upthis silly business.

32800:27:35,862 --> 00:27:38,614-You're ruining my whole day.-Shh, shh. All right. Quiet. Shut up.

32900:27:39,532 --> 00:27:42,993Oh. Well, did he leave wordwhen he'd be back?

33000:27:43,578 --> 00:27:45,120Really?

33100:27:45,288 --> 00:27:47,122Thank you.

33200:27:47,290 --> 00:27:50,376Well, that's odd. He hasn't answeredhis telephone in two days.

33300:27:50,543 --> 00:27:52,378Maybe he got locked in the bathroom.

33400:27:52,545 --> 00:27:54,588Mother, do me a favor, will you?

33500:27:54,756 --> 00:27:58,717Put on that innocent look you do so welland go to the desk and get the key to 796.

33600:27:58,885 --> 00:28:01,095Don't be ridiculous.I wouldn't do such a thing.

33700:28:01,262 --> 00:28:03,514-Ten dollars?-Not for all the money in the world.


27/117

33800:28:03,682 --> 00:28:06,809-Fifty?-Roger, you are disgraceful.

33900:28:10,563 --> 00:28:15,067Car theft, drunk driving,assaulting an officer, lying to a judge.

34000:28:15,235 --> 00:28:16,610And now, housebreaking.

34100:28:16,778 --> 00:28:18,904You're hotel-breaking.There's a difference.

34200:28:19,072 --> 00:28:21,573-Of five to ten years.Just a minute, please.

34300:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,662Will you want meto be changing your bedding, sir?

34400:28:26,830 --> 00:28:28,706Yes. Well, but not right now.

34500:28:28,873 --> 00:28:32,042I mention it, because the beddoesn't seem like it's been slept in...

34600:28:32,210 --> 00:28:34,670...and I was wonderingif I ought to go on changing the linens.

34700:28:34,838 --> 00:28:38,549-Oh. Thank you for your interest.-You're welcome, sir.

34800:28:38,717 --> 00:28:39,758

Come on, now.

34900:28:43,430 --> 00:28:46,348Now, she seemed to think I'm Kaplan.

35000:28:46,516 --> 00:28:49,268I wonder if I look like Kaplan.


28/117

35100:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,613-Oh, well, look who's here.-Who? Where?

35200:29:01,781 --> 00:29:05,576Our friend who's assemblingthe General Assembly this afternoon.

35300:29:05,744 --> 00:29:07,494Roger, I think we should go.

35400:29:07,662 --> 00:29:09,496-Don't be nervous.-I'm not nervous.

35500:29:09,664 --> 00:29:13,292-I'll be late for the bridge club.-Good. You will lose less than usual.

35600:29:26,431 --> 00:29:27,848Ooh.

35700:29:28,016 --> 00:29:31,518-Bulletin, Kaplan has dandruff.-In that case, I think we should leave.

35800:29:33,021 --> 00:29:34,480Too late.

35900:29:39,694 --> 00:29:42,946-You rang for me, sir?-Yes. Come in a moment.

36000:29:43,531 --> 00:29:46,825-What's your name?-Elsie, sir.

36100:29:47,035 --> 00:29:51,371-Elsie, do you know who I am?

-You're-- You're Mr. Kaplan.

36200:29:51,915 --> 00:29:54,708Well, when did--?When did you first see me?

36300:29:54,876 --> 00:29:55,959Outside the door.


29/117

36400:29:56,628 --> 00:29:59,630Out in the hall, a couple of minutes ago.Don't you remember?

36500:29:59,798 --> 00:30:01,882And that's the first timeyou laid eyes on me?

36600:30:02,050 --> 00:30:04,384Can I help it if you're never around,Mr. Kaplan?

36700:30:04,552 --> 00:30:06,553Well, then, how do you knowI am Mr. Kaplan?

36800:30:06,721 --> 00:30:08,722-What?

-How do you know I'm Mr. Kaplan?

36900:30:08,890 --> 00:30:12,309Well, of course you are.This is room 796, isn't it?

37000:30:12,477 --> 00:30:16,271So you're the gentleman in room 796,aren't you?

371

00:30:16,439 --> 00:30:17,689All right, Elsie, thanks.

37200:30:17,857 --> 00:30:20,400-Will that be all, sir?-For the time being, yes.

37300:30:26,533 --> 00:30:27,574Valet.

374

00:30:27,742 --> 00:30:29,493Oh, yes, come in.

37500:30:30,036 --> 00:30:32,037Should I hang it in the closet, Mr. Kaplan?

37600:30:32,205 --> 00:30:33,747Yes, please.


30/117

37700:30:39,462 --> 00:30:40,963Tell me, uh....

37800:30:41,130 --> 00:30:43,757I forgot,what time did I give you that suit?

37900:30:44,425 --> 00:30:46,009Last night, around, uh....

38000:30:46,177 --> 00:30:47,427-Around 6.-Oh.

38100:30:47,595 --> 00:30:50,097-Did I give it to you personally?-Personally?

38200:30:50,265 --> 00:30:53,475No. You called down on the phoneand described the suit to me...

38300:30:53,643 --> 00:30:57,354...and said it would be hangingin your closet. Like you always do.

38400:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,232-Anything wrong?

-No, no, just curious.

38500:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,442-Here. Thanks.-Thank you.

38600:31:02,610 --> 00:31:04,403Nice to meet you, Mr. Kaplan.

38700:31:08,825 --> 00:31:10,784

Isn't that the damnedest thing?

38800:31:10,952 --> 00:31:14,329I

m beginning to think that no onein the hotel has actually seen Kaplan.

38900:31:14,497 --> 00:31:17,249Maybe he has his suits mended


31/117

by invisible weavers.

39000:31:17,417 --> 00:31:18,792Oh....

39100:31:23,756 --> 00:31:25,424Let me see something.

39200:31:31,472 --> 00:31:34,308I don

t think that one does anythingfor you.

39300:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,981Ah, now, that

s much better.

39400:31:41,316 --> 00:31:43,567Now, obviously they

ve mistaken mefor a much shorter man.

39500:31:49,198 --> 00:31:51,491-Should I?-Certainly not.

39600:31:53,119 --> 00:31:54,703Here, hold that, dear.

39700:31:57,916 --> 00:31:58,999Hello.

39800:31:59,167 --> 00:32:01,793It

s good to find you in, Mr. Kaplan.

39900:32:01,961 --> 00:32:03,128Who is this?

40000:32:03,296 --> 00:32:06,423We met only last night,and still you do not recognize my voice.

40100:32:06,591 --> 00:32:08,508I should feel offended.

40200:32:08,676 --> 00:32:11,887Yes, I know who you are,and I

m not Mr. Kaplan.

403


32/117

00:32:12,055 --> 00:32:15,849Of course not. You answerhis telephone, you live in his hotel room...

40400:32:16,017 --> 00:32:18,018...and yet you are not Mr. Kaplan.

40500:32:18,186 --> 00:32:21,688Nevertheless,we are pleased to find you in.

40600:32:21,856 --> 00:32:23,315Now, wait--

40700:32:24,484 --> 00:32:26,485-Hello, Operator? Operator.Yes?

40800:32:26,653 --> 00:32:30,197

Operator, this is Mr. Thorn--Kaplan in 796.

40900:32:30,365 --> 00:32:33,700That call. Was that an outside callor did it come from the lobby?

41000:32:33,868 --> 00:32:36,328Just a minute, sir. I

ll see.-Well, hurry, please.

41100:32:36,496 --> 00:32:37,537Who was it?

41200:32:37,705 --> 00:32:39,831One of the menwho tried to kill me last night.

41300:32:39,999 --> 00:32:42,334-We

re back to that one, are we?-Hello? Operator?

41400:32:42,502 --> 00:32:43,710Mr. Kaplan?-Yes.

41500:32:43,878 --> 00:32:45,963That call was made from the lobby, sir.


33/117

41600:32:46,130 --> 00:32:47,506It was?

41700:32:47,674 --> 00:32:49,716They

re probablyon their way up here now.

41800:32:49,884 --> 00:32:53,595-Come on. Let

s get out of here.-I think I

d like to meet these killers.

41900:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,934You gentlemen aren

t really tryingto kill my son, are you?

42000:34:04,125 --> 00:34:06,460Lobby, please. Watch your step.

42400:34:20,099 --> 00:34:23,226Where to?-I don

t know. Just keep going.

42500:34:38,326 --> 00:34:40,952-Take me to the United Nations.Right.

42600:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,829General Assembly Building.

t Mr. Townsend.-Yes, it is.

45400:37:00,134 --> 00:37:02,636There must be some mistake.


36/117

Mr. Lester Townsend?

45500:37:02,803 --> 00:37:04,888That

s me. What can I do for you?

45600:37:05,056 --> 00:37:08,433Mr. Mauney, Delegationof Pakistan. Please call the public lounge.

45700:37:09,143 --> 00:37:11,311Are you the Townsendwho lives in Glen Cove?

45800:37:11,479 --> 00:37:14,481That

s right. Are we neighbors?

45900:37:14,649 --> 00:37:17,567A large, red-brick housewith a curved, tree-lined driveway?

46000:37:17,735 --> 00:37:19,611That s the one.

46100:37:20,112 --> 00:37:22,113Were you at home last night,Mr. Townsend?

46200:37:22,281 --> 00:37:23,782-You mean in Glen Cove?

-Yes.

46300:37:23,950 --> 00:37:26,743I

ve been staying in my apartmentin town for the last month.

46400:37:26,911 --> 00:37:29,079I always do when we

re in session here.

46500:37:29,247 --> 00:37:30,914

What about Mrs. Townsend?

46600:37:31,415 --> 00:37:33,166My wife has been dead for many years.

46700:37:33,334 --> 00:37:36,127-Oh, I---Now, Mr. Kaplan, what

s this all about?


37/117

46800:37:36,295 --> 00:37:38,755Forgive me. Who are those people livingin your house?

46900:37:38,923 --> 00:37:41,466What people?The house is completely closed up.

47000:37:42,218 --> 00:37:44,678Just the gardener and his wifeliving on the grounds.

47100:37:44,845 --> 00:37:47,931Now, Mr. Kaplan, suppose you tell mewho you are and what you want.

47200:37:48,099 --> 00:37:50,517Well, please, just....

47300:37:51,352 --> 00:37:53,979Look. Do you know this man?

47400:38:02,363 --> 00:38:04,030Look!

47500:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,619He

s got a knife. Look out!

47600:38:09,787 --> 00:38:12,580Listen to me.I had nothing to do with this.

47700:38:12,748 --> 00:38:15,208Call the police.-Wait a minute. Don

t come nearer.

47800:38:15,376 --> 00:38:17,043Get back.

47900:38:35,896 --> 00:38:38,898"The photograph has beenidentified as that of Roger Thornhill...

48000:38:39,066 --> 00:38:43,820...a Manhattan advertising executive,indicating that the name of George Kaplan...


38/117

48100:38:43,988 --> 00:38:48,950...which he gave to an attendant in theGeneral Assembly Building was false.

48200:38:49,118 --> 00:38:53,246A possible motive for the slayingwas suggested by the discovery...

48300:38:53,414 --> 00:38:56,958...that earlier today, Thornhill appearedat Glen Cove police court...

48400:38:57,126 --> 00:39:01,129...charged with drunk drivingwith a stolen car.

48500:39:01,297 --> 00:39:04,591In his defense, he charged

that the murder victim, Mr. Townsend...

48600:39:04,759 --> 00:39:07,427...had tried to kill him the night before."

48700:39:07,595 --> 00:39:10,805-Brother.-What about that?

48800:39:11,098 --> 00:39:13,850

Does anyone know this Thornhill?

48900:39:14,018 --> 00:39:16,770-No, not me.-Never heard of him.

49000:39:16,937 --> 00:39:18,021Professor?

49100:39:18,189 --> 00:39:22,067

Apparently, the poor sucker got mistakenfor George Kaplan.

49200:39:22,234 --> 00:39:25,487How can he get mistaken forGeorge Kaplan when he doesn

t even exist?

49300:39:25,654 --> 00:39:28,782


39/117

Don

t ask me how it happened.Obviously, it happened.

49400:39:28,949 --> 00:39:32,869Vandamm

s men must have grabbed himand tried to put him away...

49500:39:33,037 --> 00:39:34,746...using Lester Townsend

s house.

49600:39:34,914 --> 00:39:39,459The unsuspecting Mr. Townsend winds upwith a stray knife in his back.

49700:39:41,379 --> 00:39:43,963So horribly sad.How is it I feel like laughing?

49800:39:44,131 --> 00:39:45,673

What are we going to do?

49900:39:45,841 --> 00:39:46,966Do?

50000:39:47,134 --> 00:39:48,301About Mr. Thornhill.

50100:39:49,428 --> 00:39:51,012We, uh....

50200:39:51,180 --> 00:39:52,263We do nothing.

50300:39:53,057 --> 00:39:56,101-Nothing?-That

s right. Nothing.

50400:39:56,310 --> 00:40:01,147Or we could congratulate ourselves

on a marvelous stroke of good fortune.

50500:40:01,690 --> 00:40:05,652Our non-existent decoy, George Kaplan,created to divert suspicion...

50600:40:05,820 --> 00:40:09,823...from our actual agent,


40/117

has fortuitously become a live decoy.

50700:40:09,990 --> 00:40:14,536Yes, professor.And how long do you think he

ll stay live?

50800:40:14,703 --> 00:40:16,454Well, that

s his problem.

50900:40:16,622 --> 00:40:19,666What Mrs. Finley means, is---Oh, I know what she means.

51000:40:19,834 --> 00:40:23,002We can

t sit back calmlyand wait to see who kills him first.

51100:40:23,170 --> 00:40:25,004Vandamm and company or the police.

51200:40:26,424 --> 00:40:29,926What can we do to save himwithout endangering our own agent?

51300:40:30,094 --> 00:40:32,720Aren

t we being just a wee bit callous?

51400:40:32,888 --> 00:40:35,682No, my dear woman,

we

re not being callous.

51500:40:35,850 --> 00:40:40,061We didn

t invent our nonexistent manand give him the name of George Kaplan...

51600:40:40,229 --> 00:40:43,022...and establish elaborate behavior patternsfor him...

517

00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:45,942...and move his prop belongingsin and out of hotel rooms...

51800:40:46,110 --> 00:40:48,361...for our own private amusement.

51900:40:48,779 --> 00:40:50,697


41/117

We created George Kaplan...

52000:40:50,865 --> 00:40:53,158...and labored successfullyto convince Vandamm...

52100:40:53,325 --> 00:40:57,203...that this was our own agent hot on histrail for a desperately important reason.

52200:40:57,371 --> 00:40:59,581Check.-Nobody s denying that!

52300:40:59,748 --> 00:41:01,082Very well, then.

52400:41:01,250 --> 00:41:05,378If we make the slightest move to suggest

there is no such agent as George Kaplan...

52500:41:05,546 --> 00:41:08,173...give any hint to Vandammthat he

s pursuing a decoy...

52600:41:08,340 --> 00:41:10,133...instead of our own agent...

52700:41:10,301 --> 00:41:13,887

...then our agent,working right under Vandamm

s very nose...

52800:41:14,054 --> 00:41:17,223...will immediately face suspicion,exposure...

52900:41:17,391 --> 00:41:19,559...and assassination.

530

00:41:20,436 --> 00:41:22,145Like the two others who went before.

53100:41:22,313 --> 00:41:26,733Goodbye, Mr. Thornhill,wherever you are.

53200:41:31,906 --> 00:41:36,993


42/117

New York Central Railroad,train number 25...

53300:41:37,161 --> 00:41:40,914...the 20th Century Limited...

53400:41:41,081 --> 00:41:45,919...due to leave at 6 p.m. for Chicago...

53500:41:46,086 --> 00:41:52,383-...will depart from plank number 30.-Yes. Yes, dear. I know.

53600:41:52,551 --> 00:41:55,887Now, listen to me, Mother, I beg you.I called the Plaza.

53700:41:56,055 --> 00:41:59,182Kaplan checked out. He went

to the hotel Ambassador East in Chicago.

53800:41:59,350 --> 00:42:01,434Yes, that

s why I

m--

53900:42:01,602 --> 00:42:04,145Well, I can

t go to the police.At least not yet.

54000:42:04,313 --> 00:42:07,023

You saw the newspapers.My fingerprints are on the knife...

54100:42:07,191 --> 00:42:10,401...I

m a car thief, a drunk driver,and I murdered a man for revenge.

54200:42:10,569 --> 00:42:11,903I wouldn

t have a chance.

543

00:42:12,071 --> 00:42:16,407And I won

t have, until I find George Kaplanwho obviously knows what this is all about.

54400:42:16,867 --> 00:42:19,327No, dear, the train. It

s safer.

54500:42:19,495 --> 00:42:23,581


43/117

Well, because there

s no place to hideon a plane if anyone should recognize me.

55600:43:17,845 --> 00:43:20,555-Sold out?

55700:43:20,723 --> 00:43:23,349No, I can

t do that.What time is the next train?

55800:43:23,517 --> 00:43:26,603Nothing till 10. You

56000:43:29,732 --> 00:43:31,399Something wrong with your eyes?

56100:43:31,567 --> 00:43:34,527Yes, they

re sensitive to questions.Will you call them?

56200:43:34,695 --> 00:43:36,529Sure. Sure.

56300:43:39,366 --> 00:43:41,284Don

57200:44:58,612 --> 00:45:01,280


45/117

He went that way. I think he got off.

57300:45:01,448 --> 00:45:03,282All aboard!

57400:45:06,829 --> 00:45:08,996-Thank you.-It

s quite all right.

57500:45:09,164 --> 00:45:12,625-Seven parking tickets.-Oh.

57600:46:30,871 --> 00:46:33,623Good evening, sir. One?-Please.

57700:46:47,221 --> 00:46:48,471Cocktail before dinner?

57800:46:48,639 --> 00:46:50,890-Yes, please. A Gibson.Right away.

57900:47:00,901 --> 00:47:04,237-Well, here we are again.-Yes.

58000:47:05,781 --> 00:47:08,616

-Do you recommend anything?-The brook trout.

58100:47:08,784 --> 00:47:10,827A little trouty, but quite good.

58200:47:11,537 --> 00:47:12,578Sold.

58300:47:14,915 --> 00:47:17,375

Brook trout.

58400:47:18,085 --> 00:47:19,752-There you are. Thank you.Yes, sir.

58500:47:32,099 --> 00:47:35,268-I know. I look vaguely familiar.


46/117

-Yes.

58600:47:35,435 --> 00:47:37,353You feel you

ve seen mesomewhere before.

58700:47:37,521 --> 00:47:39,105Mm-hm.

58800:47:39,690 --> 00:47:43,693Funny how I have that effect on people.It

s something about my face.

58900:47:43,861 --> 00:47:46,153It

s a nice face.

59000:47:46,321 --> 00:47:49,991-You think so?-I wouldn t say it if I didn t.

59100:47:50,158 --> 00:47:53,369Oh, you re that type.-What type?

59200:47:53,537 --> 00:47:55,079Honest.

59300:47:55,247 --> 00:47:56,372Not really.

59400:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,793-Good. Because honest women frighten me.Why?

59500:48:00,961 --> 00:48:03,796I don

t know. Somehow,they seem to put me at a disadvantage.

59600:48:03,964 --> 00:48:07,216

-Because you

re not honest with them?Exactly.

59700:48:07,384 --> 00:48:10,469Like that businessabout the seven parking tickets?

59800:48:10,637 --> 00:48:15,057


47/117

Well, what I mean is,the moment I meet an attractive woman...

59900:48:15,225 --> 00:48:18,853...I have to start pretendingI

ve no desire to make love to her.

60000:48:19,187 --> 00:48:21,856What makes you think you haveto conceal it?

60100:48:22,024 --> 00:48:23,983She might find the idea objectionable.

60200:48:24,693 --> 00:48:26,152Then again, she might not.

60300:48:29,948 --> 00:48:32,408Think how lucky I am

to have been seated here.

60400:48:32,576 --> 00:48:35,036Oh, luck had nothing to do with it.

60500:48:35,203 --> 00:48:36,954Fate?

60600:48:38,040 --> 00:48:42,084I tipped the steward $5 to seat you here

if you should come in.

60700:48:46,173 --> 00:48:47,256Is that a proposition?

60800:48:49,176 --> 00:48:51,427I never discuss loveon an empty stomach.

60900:48:52,346 --> 00:48:53,596

You

ve already eaten.

61000:48:54,348 --> 00:48:55,431But you haven

t.

61100:49:02,898 --> 00:49:04,982Don

t you think it

s timewe were introduced?


48/117

61200:49:05,734 --> 00:49:09,195I

m Eve Kendall. I

m 26 and unmarried.

61300:49:10,197 --> 00:49:12,406Now you know everything.

61400:49:12,574 --> 00:49:16,494Tell me. What do you do besides lure mento their doom on the 20th Century Limited?

61500:49:16,662 --> 00:49:18,871I

m an industrial designer.

61600:49:20,290 --> 00:49:24,377Jack Phillips. Western sales managerfor Kingby Electronics.

617

00:49:24,544 --> 00:49:28,506No, you

re not.You

re Roger Thornhill of Madison Avenue...

61800:49:28,674 --> 00:49:31,842...and you

re wanted for murderon every front page in America.

61900:49:32,010 --> 00:49:34,470And don

t be so modest.

62000:49:34,638 --> 00:49:36,097Whoops.

62100:49:36,932 --> 00:49:38,057Oh, don

t worry.

62200:49:38,558 --> 00:49:40,559-I won

t say a word.-How come?

62300:49:41,937 --> 00:49:43,646I told you.

62400:49:43,814 --> 00:49:45,022It

s a nice face.

62500:49:45,524 --> 00:49:46,732


49/117

Is that the only reason?

62600:49:47,442 --> 00:49:49,235It

s going to be a long night.

62700:49:50,404 --> 00:49:51,404True.

62800:49:51,571 --> 00:49:54,240And I don

t particularly like the bookI

ve started.

62900:49:56,159 --> 00:49:57,326You know what I mean?

63000:49:58,954 --> 00:50:00,997Let me think.

631

00:50:04,418 --> 00:50:06,002Yes, I know exactly what you mean.

63200:50:18,849 --> 00:50:20,558There

s my trademark. R.O.T.

63300:50:21,435 --> 00:50:24,687Roger O. Thornhill.What does the "O" stand for?

634

00:50:24,855 --> 00:50:26,731Nothing.

63500:50:49,463 --> 00:50:52,298I

d invite you to my bedroomif I had a bedroom.

63600:50:52,841 --> 00:50:55,134-A roomette?-Nothing, not even a ticket.

63700:50:55,302 --> 00:50:59,472I

ve been playing hide-and-seekever since the train left New York.

63800:51:00,223 --> 00:51:02,641-How awkward for you.-Yes, isn

t it?


50/117

63900:51:02,809 --> 00:51:04,060No place to sleep.

64000:51:05,479 --> 00:51:07,646I have a large drawing room all to myself.

64100:51:08,482 --> 00:51:10,274That doesn

t seem quite fair, does it?

64200:51:11,318 --> 00:51:13,277Drawing room E.

64300:51:13,445 --> 00:51:15,279Car 3901.

64400:51:16,198 --> 00:51:17,615Such a nice number.

64500:51:19,159 --> 00:51:20,826It

s easy to remember.

64600:51:20,994 --> 00:51:22,787Thirty-nine-oh-one.

64700:51:23,705 --> 00:51:24,747See?

648

00:51:26,333 --> 00:51:27,333No luggage.

64900:51:31,004 --> 00:51:32,505-So?-Well, you wouldn

t happen...

65000:51:32,672 --> 00:51:35,216...to have an extra pair of pajamas,would you?

65100:51:35,383 --> 00:51:36,634Wouldn

t I?

65200:51:38,637 --> 00:51:41,806Incidentally, I wouldn

t order any dessertif I were you.

653


51/117

00:51:41,973 --> 00:51:43,015I get the message.

65400:51:44,017 --> 00:51:45,601That isn

t exactly what I meant.

65500:51:46,103 --> 00:51:48,354This train seems to be makingan unscheduled stop.

65600:51:48,522 --> 00:51:52,525And I just saw two men get outof a police car as we pulled into the station.

65700:51:53,193 --> 00:51:54,360They weren t smiling.

65800:52:16,758 --> 00:52:19,385I think you better go out

and tell those police to hurry.

65900:52:19,553 --> 00:52:21,137Patience is a virtue.

66000:52:21,304 --> 00:52:22,721So is breathing.

66100:52:22,889 --> 00:52:25,266Just lie still.

66200:52:26,184 --> 00:52:27,852Have you got any olive oil?

66300:52:28,019 --> 00:52:29,311Olive oil?

66400:52:29,479 --> 00:52:32,398I want to be packed in olive oilif I

m gonna be a sardine.

66500:52:34,151 --> 00:52:35,609Come in.

66600:52:36,820 --> 00:52:39,488-Who are you?-State police.


52/117

66700:52:40,240 --> 00:52:41,574Your name please?

66800:52:41,741 --> 00:52:44,243Eve Kendall. Is anything wrong?

66900:52:44,411 --> 00:52:47,580There was a man at your table tonightin the dining car.

67000:52:47,747 --> 00:52:50,583-Yes.Friend of yours?

67100:52:50,750 --> 00:52:52,334I never saw him before.

67200:52:54,004 --> 00:52:55,671

Is this the man?

67300:52:56,590 --> 00:52:59,842Yes, I think so.It

s not a very clear picture.

67400:53:00,010 --> 00:53:02,928It

s a Wirephoto.We just got it from the New York police.

675

00:53:03,096 --> 00:53:05,097-Police?-He

s wanted for murder.

67600:53:06,641 --> 00:53:08,267Good heavens, no.

67700:53:09,019 --> 00:53:11,562The steward saidyou left the dining car together.

67800:53:11,730 --> 00:53:15,524We might have happened to leaveat the same time, but not together.

67900:53:16,276 --> 00:53:17,610What did you two talk about?

680


53/117

00:53:18,653 --> 00:53:19,695Talk about?

68100:53:20,322 --> 00:53:23,324Your waiter said you were getting alonggood with this Thornhill.

68200:53:23,491 --> 00:53:25,326Is that his name? Thornhill?

68300:53:26,036 --> 00:53:28,245You mean, he didn

t tell you?

68400:53:28,413 --> 00:53:30,581He didn

t tell me anything.

68500:53:30,749 --> 00:53:33,959All we did was chatabout different kinds of food...

68600:53:34,127 --> 00:53:37,087...train travel versus plane travel,that sort of thing.

68700:53:37,797 --> 00:53:42,218Rather innocuous, I must say,considering he was a fugitive from justice.

68800:53:42,385 --> 00:53:45,304

-Who did he kill?-He didn

t say where he was going, did he?

68900:53:46,306 --> 00:53:49,308No. I assumed Chicago.

69000:53:49,476 --> 00:53:51,560You think perhaps he got offwhen you got on?

691

00:53:52,687 --> 00:53:55,064If you happento catch sight of him again, Miss, uh--

69200:53:55,232 --> 00:53:56,315Kendall.

69300:53:56,483 --> 00:53:58,317


54/117

--will you let us know?

69400:53:58,902 --> 00:54:00,986I

m going to bedand I intend to lock my door.

69500:54:01,154 --> 00:54:03,489So I doubt if I

ll seeinganybody else tonight.

69600:54:03,657 --> 00:54:07,952Well, just in case you do, we

ll be inthe observation car at the rear of the train.

69700:54:08,119 --> 00:54:09,495It s comforting to know that.

69800:54:11,206 --> 00:54:12,289Good night.

69900:54:14,334 --> 00:54:15,626Still breathing?

70000:54:15,794 --> 00:54:18,879Either hurry up or get me a snorkel.

70100:54:19,047 --> 00:54:22,675I

m looking for the can openerI stole from the porter.

70200:54:27,889 --> 00:54:29,348Hello, there.

70300:54:29,599 --> 00:54:31,141Hello.

70400:54:36,606 --> 00:54:37,898Hmm.

70500:54:43,196 --> 00:54:45,447Tell me, why are you so good to me?

70600:54:46,700 --> 00:54:48,701Shall I climb up and tell you why?

70700:55:02,882 --> 00:55:05,843


55/117

You know, I

ve been thinking,it

s not safe for you...

70800:55:06,011 --> 00:55:08,971...to roam around Chicagolooking for this George Kaplan man...

70900:55:09,139 --> 00:55:11,140...you

ve been telling me about.

71000:55:11,599 --> 00:55:15,436You

ll be picked up by the policethe moment you show your face.

71100:55:15,603 --> 00:55:17,229Such a nice face too.

71200:55:20,108 --> 00:55:25,195Now, don t you think it would be a better

idea if you stayed in my hotel room...

71300:55:25,363 --> 00:55:29,575...while I located him for youand brought him to you?

71400:55:29,743 --> 00:55:32,578I can

t let you get involved.It

s too dangerous.

715

00:55:33,747 --> 00:55:35,164I

m a big girl.

71600:55:36,458 --> 00:55:39,001Yeah, and in all the right places too.

71700:55:44,090 --> 00:55:46,842You know, this is ridiculous.You know that, don

t you?

718

00:55:47,010 --> 00:55:48,093Yes.

71900:55:48,261 --> 00:55:50,387I mean, we

ve hardly met.

72000:55:50,597 --> 00:55:52,222That

s right.


56/117

72100:55:52,390 --> 00:55:55,059How do I know you aren

t a murderer?

72200:55:55,226 --> 00:55:56,852You don

t.

72300:55:57,020 --> 00:56:00,689Maybe you

re planning to murder me,right here, tonight.

72400:56:01,524 --> 00:56:02,775Shall I?

72500:56:03,943 --> 00:56:05,235Please do.

72600:56:26,049 --> 00:56:27,800

Beats flying, doesn

t it?

72700:56:30,220 --> 00:56:31,804We should stop.

72800:56:31,971 --> 00:56:33,764Immediately.

72900:56:33,932 --> 00:56:36,141I ought to know more about you.

73000:56:36,726 --> 00:56:38,310What more could you know?

73100:56:41,189 --> 00:56:43,982You

re an advertising man,that

s all I know.

73200:56:44,150 --> 00:56:45,901That

s right.

73300:56:47,862 --> 00:56:49,905Train

s a little unsteady.

73400:56:50,073 --> 00:56:51,990Who isn

t?

735


57/117

00:56:52,158 --> 00:56:54,159What else do you know?
