00:02:03 #1 I've got nobody at all.
00:02:05 #2 Where you coming from?
00:02:07 #3 Yeah, sure, I know, but...
00:02:13 #4 I don't say, yeah, he's been up.
00:02:16 #5 You're not much of a talker, are you?
00:02:17 #6 My mother taught me never to speak to strangers.
00:02:19 #7 Oh, why, he's got you.
00:02:20 #8 So what?
00:02:21 #9 Okay, okay, don't get sore.
00:02:23 #10 He's trying to be sociable, that's all.
00:02:27 #11 Hey, Glamrs, we changed for a dime, will you?
00:02:40 #12 Let's have something quieter this time, Joe.
00:02:42 #13 My head's splitting.
00:02:43 #14 Is that what's wrong with it?
00:02:47 #15 Done with your coffee?
00:02:49 #16 No, and don't rush me, will you?
00:02:51 #17 Get off, we'll turn that thing off!
00:03:00 #18 What's eating you now?
00:03:01 #19 Yeah, what's eating you?
00:03:02 #20 That music and stinks.
00:03:03 #21 Oh, you don't like it, huh?
00:03:04 #22 No, turn it off!
00:03:05 #23 Oh, wait a minute, pal.
00:03:06 #24 That was mine, you see.
00:03:08 #25 This is a free country.
00:03:09 #26 Can I play whatever I want it? Sure.
00:03:14 #27 If you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it.
00:03:16 #28 And you can leave here anytime you want it. OK, OK.
00:03:18 #29 I'm sorry I asked.
00:03:19 #30 First good piece play tonight and you don't like it.
00:03:22 #31 Some people just ain't got any good taste.
00:03:24 #32 Why was there always that rotten tune
00:03:41 #33 following me around, beating in my head, never letting up?
00:03:44 #34 I want to forget anything.
00:03:50 #35 Did you ever want to cut away a piece of your memory or blot it out?
00:03:54 #36 You can't, you know.
00:03:55 #37 No matter how hard you try.
00:03:57 #38 You can change the scenery.
00:03:59 #39 But sooner or later, you'll get a whiff of perfume
00:04:01 #40 where somebody will say a certain phrase
00:04:03 #41 or maybe hum something.
00:04:05 #42 Then you're licked again.
00:04:06 #43 I can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:04:11 #44 I used to love that song once.
00:04:13 #45 So did the customers back in the old break at Dawn Club
00:04:15 #46 in New York.
00:04:16 #47 I can't remember a night when I didn't get at least three
00:04:18 #48 requests for it.
00:04:20 #49 Sue, she was always selling it too.
00:04:24 #50 Those were the days.
00:04:57 #51 I can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:05:09 #52 They can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:05:19 #53 Oh, I just can't imagine that we know.
00:05:33 #54 I can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:05:45 #55 It wasn't much of a club, really.
00:05:48 #56 You know the kind, a joint where
00:05:50 #57 you could have a sandwich and a few drinks
00:05:51 #58 and run interference for your girl on the dance floor.
00:05:54 #59 I prided the piano in there every night from eight
00:05:58 #60 until the place closed up, which usually meant four
00:06:01 #61 in the morning.
00:06:02 #62 A good job was jobs went in those days.
00:06:04 #63 There was Sue, who made working there a little
00:06:13 #64 like working in heaven.
00:06:15 #65 But how we felt about each other, well,
00:06:17 #66 there was nothing very unusual in that.
00:06:20 #67 I was an ordinary healthy guy, and she
00:06:21 #68 was an ordinary healthy girl.
00:06:22 #69 And when you add those two together,
00:06:24 #70 you get an ordinary healthy romance, which
00:06:26 #71 is the old story.
00:06:28 #72 Sure, but somehow the most wonderful thing in the world.
00:06:33 #73 All I was a pretty lucky guy.
00:06:55 #74 Mr. Patarufsky, I presume. It's beautiful.
00:06:58 #75 You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
00:07:01 #76 Yeah, as a janitor.
00:07:03 #77 I'll make my debut in the basement.
00:07:05 #78 I don't blame you for being bitter, darling,
00:07:07 #79 but you mustn't give up hope. By some day...
00:07:10 #80 Yeah, some day.
00:07:11 #81 I don't get arthritis first.
00:07:12 #82 In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
00:07:14 #83 Would you like to get some weed, hon?
00:07:35 #84 No, I don't think so, Al.
00:07:36 #85 I lose my appetite working in this flea bag.
00:07:39 #86 Let's go home.
00:07:41 #87 OK.
00:07:42 #88 I can't stand much more of that dump.
00:07:45 #89 Did you see that drunk tonight trying to paw me?
00:07:48 #90 No, what drunk?
00:07:49 #91 Does it matter what drunk?
00:07:52 #92 So what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
00:07:54 #93 That's the third time you started telling me something
00:07:56 #94 and then stopped.
00:07:58 #95 You shouldn't have any secrets from each other, Sue.
00:08:00 #96 Next week we're going to make with a ring and a license.
00:08:02 #97 You and me will be a team.
00:08:03 #98 Yes, that's right.
00:08:04 #99 In the bush league.
00:08:06 #100 I don't get you.
00:08:07 #101 We've been struck out.
00:08:10 #102 It's a funny way to talk, darling.
00:08:12 #103 Don't you want to marry me?
00:08:13 #104 Yeah, look, I love you.
00:08:14 #105 You know I do, and I want to marry you.
00:08:17 #106 But?
00:08:18 #107 But not now.
00:08:20 #108 Only after we've made good.
00:08:22 #109 Sunday I'm going away.
00:08:24 #110 Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
00:08:26 #111 That's why I hesitated to tell you.
00:08:29 #112 But I'm going to California.
00:08:31 #113 I want to try my luck in Hollywood.
00:08:33 #114 That's the most stupid thing I ever heard of.
00:08:36 #115 Don't you know millions of people go out there every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
00:08:39 #116 I thought you had better sense.
00:08:40 #117 You sound as if you don't think I have any talent.
00:08:42 #118 That has nothing to do with it.
00:08:44 #119 I'll make out all right.
00:08:45 #120 Maybe. But what about me?
00:08:47 #121 Doesn't it mean anything to you that you're busting up all our plans?
00:08:49 #122 We may not see each other for years.
00:08:51 #123 You won't be that long.
00:08:53 #124 I thought you loved me.
00:08:54 #125 I do. You know I do.
00:08:56 #126 There we are.
00:09:02 #127 Al, why can't you see my side of it?
00:09:08 #128 I'm young.
00:09:10 #129 We both are.
00:09:11 #130 And we've got all the time in the world to settle down.
00:09:14 #131 Really, darling, what I'm doing is the only same thing to do.
00:09:19 #132 I hate the thought of being so far away from you, but we'll be together again someday.
00:09:27 #133 Maybe you'll decide to come out too later on.
00:09:30 #134 So long.
00:09:32 #135 Al, aren't you going to kiss me goodnight?
00:09:36 #136 Sure, why not? Good night.
00:09:41 #137 The jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
00:11:30 #138 Thanks.
00:11:31 #139 So when this drunk handed me a 10 spot after a request, I couldn't get very excited.
00:11:42 #140 But was it, I asked myself, a piece of paper calling with germs?
00:11:46 #141 Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
00:11:48 #142 It couldn't.
00:11:49 #143 Then I thought of something.
00:11:54 #144 Long distance.
00:12:18 #145 I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
00:12:21 #146 Miss Harvey.
00:12:22 #147 Sue Harvey.
00:12:23 #148 H-A-R-B-E-Y.
00:12:25 #149 The number is Chrisview 65723.
00:12:29 #150 This is Al. Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
00:12:59 #151 What's that? You do?
00:13:01 #152 Oh, me too, darling.
00:13:03 #153 I thought I'd go baddy without you. I just had to... huh?
00:13:07 #154 You're working as a hashlinger.
00:13:09 #155 Gee, honey, that's tough.
00:13:11 #156 Those guys out in Hollywood don't know the real thing
00:13:13 #157 when it's right in front of them.
00:13:15 #158 You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
00:13:17 #159 Keep going around in those casting offices.
00:13:19 #160 I'm sure you'll click.
00:13:21 #161 Stay put out there. I'll come to you.
00:13:24 #162 No, don't try to stop me. Just stay there.
00:13:26 #163 Don't try to stop me. Just expect me train who knows train plane bus magic carpet
00:13:31 #164 I'll be there if I have to crawl have to travel by Pogo stick and then
00:13:36 #165 Let's get married right away. That's the stuff. That's what I've been wanting to hear you say goodbye for now
00:13:49 #166 I'll be seeing you soon the way I could cross country was to thumb rides or even after hocking everything
00:14:04 #167 I only had enough money to eat
00:14:07 #168 money
00:14:08 #169 You know what that is
00:14:10 #170 It's the stuff you never have enough of.
00:14:12 #171 Little green things with George Washington's picture that men slave for.
00:14:15 #172 Commit crimes for. Die for.
00:14:18 #173 It's the stuff that has caused more trouble in the world than anything else we ever invented.
00:14:22 #174 Simply because there's too little of it.
00:14:25 #175 At least I had too little of it.
00:14:28 #176 So it was me for the thumb.
00:14:29 #177 Ever done any hitchhiking?
00:14:48 #178 It's not much fun, believe me.
00:14:51 #179 Oh yeah, I know all about how it's an education, how you get to meet a lot of people and all that.
00:14:56 #180 But me, from now on I'll take my education in college.
00:15:00 #181 Or in PS 62, where I'll send $1.98 in stamps for 10 easy lessons.
00:15:05 #182 Thumbing rides may save your bus fare.
00:15:16 #183 But it's dangerous.
00:15:18 #184 You never know what's in store for you.
00:15:21 #185 You hear the squeal of brakes.
00:15:23 #186 If only I had known what I was getting into that day in Arizona.
00:15:27 #187 Yeah, throw that in the back seat.
00:15:31 #188 Okay, let's go. Make sure that door closes.
00:15:37 #189 You know, Emily Post ought to write a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
00:15:54 #190 Because as it is now, you never know what's right and what's wrong.
00:15:58 #191 He wrote along for a little while, neither one of us sang anything.
00:16:02 #192 I was glad of that.
00:16:04 #193 I never know what to say to strange people driving cars.
00:16:08 #194 Until you can never tell if a guy wants to talk.
00:16:11 #195 A lot of rides have been cut short because of a big mouth.
00:16:15 #196 So I kept my mouth shut until he started opening up.
00:16:20 #197 Hand me that little box to comply with, will you pal?
00:16:23 #198 Hold it with it. How far are you going?
00:16:39 #199 LA.
00:16:40 #200 Wow, you're really traveling, aren't you?
00:16:42 #201 Yeah, but I don't expect to make it for a couple of years.
00:16:44 #202 It's the rate I've been promoting rides.
00:16:46 #203 Not much luck, huh?
00:16:47 #204 Sure, all bad.
00:16:49 #205 How many people stop for a guy these days?
00:16:51 #206 Afraid of a stick up, maybe?
00:16:53 #207 They can't blame him.
00:16:55 #208 Where you coming from?
00:16:56 #209 New York?
00:16:58 #210 Well, New York.
00:17:00 #211 You're in luck this time.
00:17:02 #212 I'm going all the way.
00:17:04 #213 Right through to Los Angeles.
00:17:07 #214 You drive a car?
00:17:08 #215 Sure.
00:17:09 #216 I'll be a tire, let me know.
00:17:11 #217 I'll holler.
00:17:13 #218 I guess at least an hour passed before I noticed those deep scratches in his right hand.
00:17:18 #219 They were wicked.
00:17:19 #220 Free puffy red lines about a quarter of an inch apart.
00:17:23 #221 They must have seen me looking at them because he said...
00:17:26 #222 Beauties, aren't they?
00:17:29 #223 They're gonna be sky someday.
00:17:32 #224 What an animal.
00:17:33 #225 Whatever it was, it must have been pretty big and vicious to have done that.
00:17:36 #226 Right on both counts, New York.
00:17:38 #227 I was tussling with the most dangerous animal in the world.
00:17:42 #228 A woman.
00:17:43 #229 She must have been Tarzan's mate.
00:17:45 #230 Looks like you lost the barb.
00:17:47 #231 Certainly wasn't a draw.
00:17:49 #232 You know, there ought to be a law against dames with claws.
00:17:53 #233 Yeah.
00:17:54 #234 I tossed her out of the car and her ear.
00:17:56 #235 Was I wrong?
00:17:58 #236 Give a lift to a tomato you expected to be nice, don't you? Yeah
00:18:02 #237 After all what kind of dame some rides Sunday school teachers?
00:18:07 #238 a little witch
00:18:10 #239 She must have thought she was riding with some fall guy
00:18:13 #240 And me it was been booking horses around race tracks as I was 20
00:18:17 #241 Know a million things like her two million. Yeah, stop the car open the door
00:18:27 #242 Take it on the art that Duffy sister. I told her
00:18:29 #243 That's his stuff.
00:18:30 #244 As I was done, huh?
00:18:33 #245 But if you want to see a real Scarf, brother,
00:18:35 #246 get a load of this.
00:18:38 #247 Wow.
00:18:39 #248 I got that one during.
00:18:41 #249 Dually?
00:18:42 #250 Yeah, we're just kidding, of course.
00:18:44 #251 My dad owned a couple of Franco Prussian sabers.
00:18:46 #252 He kept them on the wall for decorations.
00:18:49 #253 Well, one day, the kid and I took them down.
00:18:52 #254 The old man wasn't around, had a duel.
00:18:55 #255 He got me in the arm here.
00:18:58 #256 Pretty mean cut.
00:19:00 #257 Infection set in later.
00:19:02 #258 Yeah, I can see that.
00:19:04 #259 Now give me that box again, will it?
00:19:05 #260 Yeah.
00:19:18 #261 Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
00:19:20 #262 I began slashing.
00:19:22 #263 Before I knew it, I put the other kids' eye out.
00:19:25 #264 That was tough.
00:19:27 #265 Well, it was just an accident, of course.
00:19:29 #266 Do you know how kids are?
00:19:30 #267 I got scared and decided I was going to run away from home.
00:19:33 #268 Old man almost caught me when I was packing my debts.
00:19:37 #269 The bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
00:19:39 #270 He said and caught his attention.
00:19:41 #271 He seemed a bundle for sure.
00:19:44 #272 But I beat him when he was phonein' for a doctor.
00:19:47 #273 I was 15, 16 years ago.
00:19:49 #274 I haven't been home since.
00:19:55 #275 Who in there for a bite or something, huh?
00:19:57 #276 A bite or something.
00:19:59 #277 Brother was I hungry.
00:20:01 #278 I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
00:20:04 #279 Yet even with that knowing in the pit of my belly,
00:20:06 #280 I didn't wanna be in too big a rush
00:20:07 #281 to put on the feed bag.
00:20:10 #282 First I had to make sure this guy knew the score.
00:20:12 #283 I got him down on me by ticket to Hollywood. I'll wait out here for you, Mr.
00:20:18 #284 was the money don't worry about paying for it this time it's on me.
00:20:21 #285 Well, that's what you're asking. Make nothing of it. You make your first
00:20:24 #286 million. Maybe you can do the same for me. Come on, you're going to make the West
00:20:27 #287 Coast by Wednesday. The horse running in Santa Anita named prior bicycle means
00:20:31 #288 daughter me if I'm on him. You make it all right.
00:20:35 #289 He did most of the talking during the half hour we were in the place.
00:20:38 #290 I ate.
00:20:40 #291 He rambled on about his old man,
00:20:42 #292 whom we hadn't heard from since he ran away as a kid.
00:20:44 #293 Now we happen to become a bookie.
00:20:46 #294 And then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
00:20:49 #295 One race, 38 grand.
00:20:51 #296 They cleaned out my book. How do you like that?
00:20:53 #297 That was tough luck.
00:20:55 #298 Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
00:20:57 #299 But you just wait. I'm going back to Florida next season
00:20:59 #300 with all kinds of check.
00:21:01 #301 And you'll watch those stinkers run for cover.
00:21:03 #302 Want anything else?
00:21:05 #303 No, thanks. I've had plenty.
00:21:12 #304 Oh, just a minute. You changed there.
00:21:18 #305 Okay, but, sister.
00:21:19 #306 Oh, thank you, say, call again.
00:21:21 #307 We'll wait outside for him when you finish work.
00:21:24 #308 Shop checker.
00:21:25 #309 I drove all that night while Haskell slept like a log.
00:21:37 #310 After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
00:21:41 #311 I was happy, though.
00:21:43 #312 Soon I'd be with Sue again.
00:21:45 #313 The long trip was practically over
00:21:47 #314 and there'd be no more roofing it down the concrete.
00:21:50 #315 I began to think of the future,
00:21:53 #316 which couldn't have been brighter
00:21:54 #317 if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
00:21:56 #318 It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
00:22:01 #319 It's amazing what a full belly can do to your imagination.
00:22:04 #320 As all your kisses do, I can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:22:34 #321 I can't believe that you're in love.
00:22:38 #322 Mr. Haskell, let's go wake up the training.
00:23:04 #323 Don't you think we ought to stop and put up the top?
00:23:15 #324 Mr. Haskell, I'm going to put up the top.
00:23:17 #325 I've done things my way.
00:23:34 #326 But from then on, something else stepped in and shunted me off to a different destination
00:23:38 #327 than the one I had picked for myself.
00:23:40 #328 The one I pulled open that door.
00:23:46 #329 Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
00:23:48 #330 Are you hurt?
00:23:50 #331 Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
00:23:53 #332 I'll start here soon.
00:23:54 #333 I'll listen to it.
00:23:56 #334 But I know what you're gonna hand me even before you open your mouths.
00:23:59 #335 You're gonna tell me you don't believe my story of how Haskell died
00:24:02 #336 and give me that don't make me laugh expression on your smug faces.
00:24:05 #337 I saw it once he was dead, and I was in for it.
00:24:12 #338 Who would believe he fell out of the car?
00:24:14 #339 Why if Haskell came too, which of course he couldn't,
00:24:16 #340 even he would swear I conked him over the head for his dough.
00:24:18 #341 Yes, I was in for it.
00:24:21 #342 Instinct told me to run, but then I realized it was hopeless.
00:24:24 #343 There were lots of people back down the road who got to identify me.
00:24:26 #344 That gas station guy and the waitress.
00:24:28 #345 I would be in a worse spot then trying to explain why I beat it.
00:24:31 #346 The next possibility was to sit tight and tell the truth when the cops came,
00:24:34 #347 But that would be crazy.
00:24:35 #348 He'd laugh at the truth.
00:24:37 #349 Not have him in the news.
00:24:38 #350 So what else was there to do but hide the body
00:24:42 #351 and get away in the car?
00:24:43 #352 I couldn't leave the car there with him in the gully.
00:24:46 #353 That would be like a wrecking a tombstone.
00:24:50 #354 My idea was to cover him with brush, not to rob him.
00:25:19 #355 But then I remembered that even if I only drove the car
00:25:21 #356 for a hundred miles or so, I would need money for gas.
00:25:24 #357 Besides, it was stupid of me to leave all that money
00:25:27 #358 and I didn't.
00:25:28 #359 Not only that, I'd have to take his driver's license
00:25:31 #360 I didn't like to think about it.
00:25:33 #361 But by that time I'd done just what the police would say I did, even if I didn't.
00:25:38 #362 I closed.
00:25:40 #363 The owner of such an expensive car would never be wearing them.
00:25:43 #364 Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
00:25:45 #365 Hey, you, this your car?
00:25:47 #366 Don't you know better to leave a car with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
00:26:16 #367 That's the way accidents happen.
00:26:18 #368 I'm sorry, officer. I was just putting up my top. I didn't think.
00:26:22 #369 Well, in the next time, think.
00:26:24 #370 I'll let you go now, but watch your step in the future.
00:26:26 #371 go now but watch your step in the future I know that's a lonely stretch but cars
00:26:29 #372 come by here once in a while we have plenty of cracker car to give me a way
00:26:58 #373 as Roberts they found a dead man in the gully now it would be me as I drove off
00:27:12 #374 it was still raining and the drop streak down the windshield like tears I kept
00:27:20 #375 imagining I was being followed that I could hear sirens back in the distance
00:27:24 #376 just how long it took me to cover the 60 odd miles to the California state line
00:27:28 #377 I don't know. I lost all track of time.
00:27:32 #378 But the rain had stopped and the sun was up when I pulled up to the inspection station.
00:27:36 #379 Hello.
00:27:42 #380 Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
00:27:44 #381 No.
00:27:45 #382 Any livestock or poultry?
00:27:46 #383 No.
00:27:49 #384 I'd see a registration and driver's license, please.
00:27:51 #385 Anything in the baggage compartment?
00:27:57 #386 Just baggage.
00:28:00 #387 Charles Haskell Jr. 30 brown-eyed dark hair.
00:28:03 #388 Done a fine marks none.
00:28:05 #389 Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
00:28:07 #390 Yes, I'll remember if you employ and you stay over 30 days you take out California plates all right officer, but I won't be in the state a short while
00:28:16 #391 Right you go now
00:28:17 #392 Couldn't drive any farther without some sweet cops or no cops. I knew I had to hit the hay and hit it hard. I
00:28:33 #393 Was dead tired
00:28:35 #394 Died
00:29:29 #395 Who's there?
00:29:51 #396 All right, sir.
00:29:52 #397 There's no time to lose.
00:30:19 #398 Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell was dangerous.
00:30:21 #399 And I'd have to be Charles Haskell until I got to some city
00:30:23 #400 where I could leave the car and be swallowed up.
00:30:31 #401 That meant driving the car as far as San Bernardino,
00:30:34 #402 maybe even to Los Angeles.
00:30:35 #403 In a little town I might be noticed,
00:30:37 #404 but in a city I should be safe enough.
00:30:40 #405 Then after I ditched the car, I could go on to Sue.
00:30:44 #406 But those five minutes at the state line
00:30:47 #407 made me realize it might be a good idea
00:30:48 #408 to find out a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
00:30:51 #409 Then if anybody asked me questions, I could give the right answers.
00:30:55 #410 The first thing I found out was that I had $768.
00:30:59 #411 This was a lot of jack, but believe me, it was a kind of money I'd rather not have.
00:31:05 #412 And then I found out from a letter Haskell was carting around in his bag
00:31:16 #413 that he wasn't the open-handed, easygoing big shot
00:31:19 #414 who went around buying dinners for strange hitchhikers.
00:31:22 #415 Before I got done reading it, I saw him more as a chiseler.
00:31:26 #416 It was written to his old man in California, the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
00:31:31 #417 In it, Haskell posed as a salesman of hymnals of all things.
00:31:37 #418 It was easy to see where Haskell expected to raise a new stake for his book in Miami, by rucking his old man.
00:31:45 #419 That was about all I found out from his effects, and it was enough.
00:31:50 #420 I told myself, maybe old man Haskell was lucky his son kicked off.
00:31:54 #421 He would never know it.
00:31:56 #422 But it saved him from taking a flyer in sacred literature preferred.
00:32:00 #423 The water desert center I pulled up for water.
00:32:29 #424 There was a woman...
00:32:31 #425 Hey you! Come on if you want a ride.
00:32:38 #426 Where are you going?
00:33:28 #427 That took me by surprise.
00:33:30 #428 I turned my head to look her over.
00:33:32 #429 She was facing straight ahead so I couldn't see her eyes.
00:33:35 #430 But she was young.
00:33:37 #431 Not more than 24.
00:33:39 #432 Man, she looked as if she'd just been thrown off the crummyest freight train in the world.
00:33:44 #433 Yet in spite of this, I got the impression of beauty.
00:33:48 #434 Not the beauty of a movie actress, mind you,
00:33:50 #435 or the beauty you dream about when you're with your wife,
00:33:53 #436 but a natural beauty.
00:33:55 #437 A beauty that's almost homely because it's so real.
00:33:58 #438 Then suddenly she turned to face me.
00:34:02 #439 How far did you say we're going?
00:34:04 #440 Los Angeles.
00:34:05 #441 LA?
00:34:07 #442 LA's good enough for me, mister.
00:34:09 #443 That was afraid of what you say. Oh nothing just thinking out loud people get in trouble for doing that
00:34:17 #444 What's your name?
00:34:18 #445 You can call me there if you like
00:34:20 #446 You live in Los Angeles no
00:34:24 #447 Why are you coming from? Oh back there
00:34:26 #448 Needles no oh
00:34:29 #449 Sure Phoenix you look just like a Phoenix girl and the girls and Phoenix that bad
00:34:34 #450 The girl must have been pretty tired because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
00:34:38 #451 after she stepped into the car.
00:34:40 #452 She lay sprawled out with her head resting against the front door, like Haskell.
00:34:45 #453 I didn't like that part of the punch, but I didn't wake her up.
00:34:49 #454 It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
00:34:52 #455 I've gotten over that funny feeling I had when she looked at me,
00:34:55 #456 which I put down as just my jangled nerves.
00:34:58 #457 With her eyes closed, the test has gone out of her.
00:35:01 #458 She seemed harmless enough.
00:35:03 #459 And instead of disliking her, I began to feel sorry for her.
00:35:07 #460 The poor kid probably had had a rough time of it.
00:35:11 #461 Who was she anyway?
00:35:13 #462 And why was she going to Los Angeles?
00:35:15 #463 And where'd she come from in the first place?
00:35:17 #464 The only thing I knew about it was her name.
00:35:20 #465 Not that it made any difference.
00:35:22 #466 A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
00:35:24 #467 I'd forget where I parked the car and look up Sue.
00:35:27 #468 This nightmare of being a dead man would be over.
00:35:30 #469 With his name, as well, it was no business of mine.
00:35:33 #470 Where did you leave his body?
00:35:35 #471 Where did you leave the owner of this car?
00:35:37 #472 You're not fooling anyone.
00:35:39 #473 This bungie belongs to a guy named Haskell.
00:35:41 #474 That's not you, mister.
00:35:42 #475 You're out of your mind. That's my name. Charles Haskell.
00:35:44 #476 I can prove it. He's my driver's wife.
00:35:46 #477 Thank you, sir, for trouble, mister.
00:35:48 #478 Having Haskell's wallet only makes it worse.
00:35:50 #479 It just so happens I rode with Charlie Haskell
00:35:52 #480 all the way from Louisiana.
00:35:54 #481 He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
00:35:56 #482 You rode?
00:35:57 #483 You heard me.
00:35:58 #484 Then it all came back to me.
00:36:00 #485 All the talk about dueling and scars and scratches.
00:36:03 #486 There was no doubt about it.
00:36:05 #487 Vera must be the woman Haskell had mentioned.
00:36:08 #488 She must have passed me while I slept.
00:36:10 #489 Well?
00:36:12 #490 Well, I'm waiting.
00:36:13 #491 My goose was cooked.
00:36:15 #492 She had me.
00:36:17 #493 That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
00:36:19 #494 He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold in any Arizona gully.
00:36:22 #495 He was sitting right there in the car, laughing like mad while he haunted me.
00:36:26 #496 There was nothing I could say.
00:36:31 #497 It was her move.
00:36:33 #498 Vera, whatever her name was,
00:36:35 #499 was just my luck picking her up on the road.
00:36:38 #500 It couldn't have been Helen, or Mary, or Evelyn, or Ruth.
00:36:42 #501 It had to be the very last person I should ever have met.
00:36:45 #502 That's life.
00:36:47 #503 Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to tribute.
00:36:50 #504 Everything, but she didn't believe my story.
00:36:58 #505 I should have saved my breath.
00:37:00 #506 That's the greatest cock-a-mole story I ever heard.
00:37:03 #507 So he fell out of his car.
00:37:04 #508 Say, who do you think you're talking to, a hick?
00:37:07 #509 Listen, mister, I've been around,
00:37:09 #510 and I know a wrong guy when I see one.
00:37:11 #511 What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
00:37:12 #512 Now, wait a minute, what I told you was true.
00:37:14 #513 You see, that's why I had to do it.
00:37:16 #514 You think I killed him?
00:37:17 #515 Well, a cop's would've thought so too.
00:37:18 #516 Yeah, well, maybe they still think so.
00:37:21 #517 What makes you so sure I'll shut up about this?
00:37:24 #518 Here, I'm innocent.
00:37:25 #519 Give me a break, will you?
00:37:28 #520 It won't do me any good having you pinched.
00:37:30 #521 The cops are no friends of mine.
00:37:32 #522 Now if there was a reward, but there isn't.
00:37:35 #523 Thanks.
00:37:36 #524 Don't thank me yet.
00:37:37 #525 I'm not through with you by a long shot.
00:37:40 #526 Let's see that roll.
00:37:47 #527 Is that old Haskell head?
00:37:49 #528 Isn't it enough?
00:37:50 #529 No, I thought he had more.
00:37:51 #530 Not that I know of.
00:37:52 #531 You can search me.
00:37:53 #532 I think I'm holding out on you.
00:37:53 #533 Well, maybe I will at that.
00:37:55 #534 He told me he was gonna bet $3,000 on a horse named
00:37:58 #535 Paradise to go on Wednesday at San Anita.
00:38:00 #536 He was stringing along.
00:38:01 #537 He meant $300.
00:38:02 #538 Maybe.
00:38:03 #539 Sure, $3, $300.
00:38:04 #540 He was a piece of cheese, a big blow hard.
00:38:06 #541 Listen, mister, don't try and tell me anything
00:38:08 #542 about Charlie Asco remember I knew him better than you did OK
00:38:11 #543 you knew he was a forefusher that explains the three grand bet I'm not so sure he
00:38:14 #544 didn't have that three grand why should I believe you you got all the airmarks of
00:38:19 #545 a cheap crook now wait a minute you're a cheap crook and you killed him for two
00:38:23 #546 cents I changed my mind attorney and I don't like you all right all right don't
00:38:27 #547 get so I'm not getting sore but just remember who's boss around here if you
00:38:31 #548 shut up and don't give me any arguments you'll have nothing to worry about but
00:38:34 #549 if you act wise, well Mr. You popping to jail so fast it'll give you the bends.
00:38:38 #550 I'm not, I...
00:38:39 #551 See that you don't. You know, as crooked as you look, I'd hate to see a fella as young
00:38:43 #552 as you wind up sniffing that perfume that Arizona hands are free to murderers.
00:38:47 #553 I'm not a murderer.
00:38:48 #554 Of course you're not. Asko knocked his own head off.
00:38:50 #555 You fell that's how it happened, just like I told you.
00:38:52 #556 Sure, and then he made you a president of his belongings.
00:38:54 #557 I explained why I didn't do that.
00:38:55 #558 Oh, excuse me. Doesn't make a difference one way or another. I'm not a mourner.
00:38:59 #559 I like Tascale even less than I like you.
00:39:01 #560 Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
00:39:03 #561 What do you mean?
00:39:04 #562 of scratches on his wrist. Sure I scratched him. So you did. So your idea was to drive
00:39:11 #563 the car a little way maybe in the sand Bernardino and then leave it you weren't
00:39:15 #564 going to sell it sell it you think I'm crazy somebody else's car so all I want
00:39:20 #565 to do is leave it somewhere and forget I ever saw it not only don't you have any
00:39:23 #566 screw but you don't have any brains I don't get you maybe it's a good thing
00:39:27 #567 you met me you got yourself caught sure why you don't don't you know a
00:39:31 #568 a deserted automobile always rates and investigation.
00:39:35 #569 Look, the cops find a car.
00:39:37 #570 Then they get curious.
00:39:38 #571 They wonder where the owner is.
00:39:40 #572 So all right, they don't trace Haskell.
00:39:42 #573 They trace you.
00:39:44 #574 I never thought of that.
00:39:45 #575 The only safe way to get rid of the car
00:39:47 #576 is to sell it to a dealer.
00:39:48 #577 Get it registered under a new name.
00:39:50 #578 Say, stop at the next store.
00:39:51 #579 I want to get a bottle and do some shopping
00:39:53 #580 before we hit LA. OK.
00:39:55 #581 Since we find a place, I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
00:39:58 #582 Nothing doing.
00:39:59 #583 You're coming in too.
00:40:00 #584 from now on you and I like the Siamese twins.
00:40:03 #585 Have it your way. I don't get the point.
00:40:05 #586 The point is I don't want you to get lost.
00:40:07 #587 I'm not going to beat it if that's what you're afraid of. I'll say you're not.
00:40:10 #588 Well I'm going to see that you sell this car so you don't get caught.
00:40:13 #589 Thanks. Of course your interest wouldn't be financial would.
00:40:17 #590 You wouldn't want a small percentage of the profits.
00:40:20 #591 Well now that you insist how can I refuse.
00:40:23 #592 A hundred percent will do. Fine. I'm relieved.
00:40:26 #593 I thought for a moment you were going to take it all.
00:40:28 #594 I don't want to be a hog.
00:40:31 #595 A few hours later we were in Hollywood.
00:40:34 #596 I was recognizing places Sue had written about.
00:40:37 #597 It struck me that far from being at the end of the trip,
00:40:40 #598 there was a greater distance between Sue and me than when I started out.
00:40:44 #599 Vera wasn't kidding with that Simey's twins crack.
00:40:48 #600 She rented a little apartment as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
00:40:52 #601 When I objected to this, she explained that it was on account of the car.
00:40:55 #602 A dealer might think something was funny if he called in front of her using different names.
00:40:59 #603 Home, sweet home.
00:41:05 #604 Yeah.
00:41:06 #605 Not bad either.
00:41:08 #606 In case there's any doubt in your mind, I'll take the bedroom.
00:41:19 #607 Yeah.
00:41:21 #608 Sure is stuffy in here.
00:41:23 #609 Keep the window shut.
00:41:32 #610 Okay.
00:41:33 #611 The old crow downstairs said there's a phone in bed behind this door.
00:41:38 #612 You know how to work it?
00:41:46 #613 I invented it.
00:41:50 #614 Some joint.
00:41:55 #615 One can't have everything.
00:41:57 #616 I'm first in the bathtub.
00:42:03 #617 I don't know why, but I figured you would be.
00:42:06 #618 Boy, old boy, it sure feels good to be clean again.
00:42:21 #619 I must be ten pounds lighter.
00:42:23 #620 You must be.
00:42:25 #621 Well, the gin rides isn't exactly the way you keep your school well from flexion.
00:42:31 #622 I wish that guy with the sacks would give up.
00:42:37 #623 Get some of my nerves.
00:42:39 #624 Forget it. Have a drink.
00:42:47 #625 Aren't you afraid I might take you up on it?
00:42:49 #626 I didn't want to give you a drink or wouldn't have offered it.
00:42:53 #627 Why be a sorry, Ed Roberts?
00:42:55 #628 You got yourself into this thing.
00:42:57 #629 You should be grateful I'm not turning you in.
00:43:00 #630 If I wasn't regular, you'd be in the pen this minute,
00:43:03 #631 being photograph fingerprinted and being pushed around by the cops.
00:43:06 #632 So cheer up.
00:43:08 #633 Get rid of that long pus.
00:43:10 #634 Oh, he's your conscience bothering you.
00:43:18 #635 Swallow. That's the spirit.
00:43:24 #636 He's dead and no moment around will bring him back.
00:43:27 #637 I'll bring him back.
00:43:32 #638 Anyway, I never could understand this worry
00:43:34 #639 about something that's over and done with.
00:43:36 #640 Now look, Vera, for the last time I didn't kill him.
00:43:38 #641 Haskell was a sick man.
00:43:39 #642 Maybe it was dead before he fell out of the car.
00:43:41 #643 I don't know.
00:43:42 #644 Sure, sure, he died of old age.
00:43:45 #645 All right.
00:43:47 #646 So it'll make you sociable.
00:43:50 #647 You didn't kill him.
00:44:02 #648 Thanks.
00:44:14 #649 Got a liquor, Roberts.
00:44:16 #650 Yeah.
00:44:17 #651 Too bad.
00:44:18 #652 I felt like getting tight tonight.
00:44:20 #653 I think he succeeded.
00:44:22 #654 A martin?
00:44:24 #655 As a primadonis corset.
00:44:25 #656 That's good.
00:44:27 #657 I wanted to get tight.
00:44:29 #658 Why? What have you got to get tight about?
00:44:31 #659 Oh, I don't know.
00:44:33 #660 Field things.
00:44:35 #661 Huh. You should have my worries.
00:44:39 #662 If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
00:44:41 #663 And I've got the key to that door.
00:44:43 #664 Maybe you're right.
00:44:49 #665 I'm always right.
00:44:51 #666 I don't like your attitude, Roberts.
00:44:55 #667 Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
00:44:58 #668 Sure.
00:44:59 #669 But life's like a ball game.
00:45:04 #670 You gotta take a swing at whatever comes along before you wake up and find it's a ninth inning.
00:45:09 #671 You read that somewhere?
00:45:10 #672 That's such a thrill, Roberts.
00:45:12 #673 All you do is belly ache.
00:45:14 #674 Make it easy and we'll try and make the bits of things.
00:45:18 #675 Maybe that's what's wrong with the whole world.
00:45:21 #676 Get the professor.
00:45:22 #677 People out themselves out trying to buck fate.
00:45:25 #678 Now take you for instance.
00:45:26 #679 You're lucky to be alive.
00:45:28 #680 Why, suppose Haskell had opened your door.
00:45:30 #681 Your door. You'll be playing a harp now.
00:45:32 #682 Think of that.
00:45:35 #683 You think of it.
00:45:36 #684 I'm tired of thinking.
00:45:38 #685 There's plenty of people die in this minute.
00:45:41 #686 I would give anything to trade places with you.
00:45:46 #687 I know what I'm talking about.
00:45:48 #688 I'm not so sure.
00:45:50 #689 At least they know they're done for.
00:45:52 #690 They don't just sweat blood wondering if they are.
00:45:56 #691 Your philosophy stinks, pal.
00:45:58 #692 We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
00:46:01 #693 It's only a question of when.
00:46:03 #694 What's got us on this subject anyway?
00:46:07 #695 We'll be discussing politics next.
00:46:09 #696 Yeah.
00:46:11 #697 Where'd you hide the butts?
00:46:14 #698 On the table, sucker.
00:46:16 #699 We bought each other with conversation for a couple of hours longer.
00:46:27 #700 Every five minutes, one of us was wishing we had another bottle or a radio or something to read.
00:46:32 #701 Then finally we ran out of chat.
00:46:36 #702 I know it's only 11 o'clock, but I want to get up early and make the rounds of the used car lots.
00:46:40 #703 use car lots no worry about that we got all the time in the world maybe you have but
00:46:45 #704 you think I want to stay cooped up in this place any longer than I have to your
00:46:48 #705 bad it's not a bad place they punny for things like this in New York wouldn't
00:46:52 #706 like it if it was a Ritz you got a mean car for to do something about it now
00:47:02 #707 be alright that's what Camille said the day in the died of consumption yeah
00:47:15 #708 wouldn't it be a break for you if I did kick off you'd be free with all
00:47:20 #709 I don't want to see anybody die.
00:47:22 #710 Not even me.
00:47:24 #711 Especially not you. One person died of me.
00:47:27 #712 If you did, well, that's all I need.
00:47:30 #713 You don't like me, do you, Robert?
00:47:32 #714 I like you. I love you.
00:47:40 #715 My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
00:47:43 #716 After we sell the car, you can go to Blazers for all I give, but not until then.
00:47:47 #717 I'm going to bed.
00:47:48 #718 Good night, Roberts.
00:47:49 #719 Don't try to sneak away during the night.
00:48:06 #720 All the doors are locked.
00:48:08 #721 the night all the doors are locked anyway I find you got in the morning I'll notify
00:48:13 #722 the police they'll pick you up worry I know what I'm gonna spot well good night I
00:48:19 #723 hope that portable rack isn't too uncomfortable for you sleep over this
00:49:41 #724 were fiction I would fall in love with her marry her and make a respectable
00:49:45 #725 woman of her or else she'd make some supreme class a sacrifice for me die Sue
00:49:52 #726 You and I would ball a little over a grave
00:49:54 #727 and make some crack about there as good in all of us.
00:49:57 #728 But Vera, unfortunately, was just as rotten in the morning
00:50:01 #729 as she'd been the night before.
00:50:04 #730 All right, all right, I'm coming.
00:50:06 #731 Look, Mary, it's almost noon.
00:50:09 #732 So what? The dealers will be there all day?
00:50:11 #733 They'll be there all year too, but it doesn't await that long.
00:50:14 #734 Shut up. You make it just like a husband.
00:50:20 #735 Do I rate a whistle?
00:50:21 #736 You sure do, but let's go.
00:50:23 #737 Let's go, let's go.
00:50:24 #738 I spent 85 bucks in two hours preparing bait,
00:50:26 #739 and bait and all you can say is let's go. Come on. We've had to few use car lots
00:50:37 #740 last night down this way. What do you think we can get for this heap? I don't know.
00:50:41 #741 Plenty. He put me handle everything. Think we can get $2,000? I don't know but
00:50:46 #742 don't worry. I'll squeeze as much out of this guy as I can. I'll let it go
00:50:50 #743 cheap without a fight he might think we're stolen the car. And listen, don't
00:50:54 #744 make any slips and call me Roberts. That'll cook us. I don't need you to
00:50:58 #745 tell me that you better just sit by and keep your mouth closed remember we're both

00:52:59 #761 now let's see about the insurance we can either have a transfer to cancel what kind
00:53:05 #762 of insurance you have Mr. Haskell. Well I know the papers there I don't see any
00:53:13 #763 surely you know what type of insurance you carry in the car your name of the company
00:53:18 #764 yeah but well if you'll just tell me the name of the company I'd be very glad
00:53:23 #765 to take care of all the details well did you sign the papers yet not yet well

00:53:34 #768 I have but very much go got me out of a tight spot there but I still don't understand all
00:53:45 #769 this you will in a minute I almost threw away a gold mine 1850 isn't to be sneezed at the
00:53:51 #770 car doesn't book for as much as I thought we're not selling the car you want to keep
00:53:55 #771 it now wait a minute very you said yourself I wouldn't be safe until the car was in
00:53:59 #772 someone else's name I'd like to be free of this mess when I go that's just it
00:54:02 #773 Roberts you're not going there's a driver in the next corner pulling them
00:54:07 #774 I'm going to get a bite to eat. Now I'll explain.
00:54:09 #775 What is this? Another one of your brilliant ideas?
00:54:18 #776 Oh, I think you ought to make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
00:54:21 #777 And for you, sir?
00:54:22 #778 Oh, I don't care. The same.
00:54:26 #779 Thank you.
00:54:31 #780 Get this, Vera. I've been pretty patient so far.
00:54:34 #781 I've done everything you asked me to do, but no more.
00:54:36 #782 Shut up.
00:54:37 #783 You've taken Haskell's money.
00:54:39 #784 You can have the dough we get from selling the car,
00:54:41 #785 but you're not going to keep me a prisoner.
00:54:42 #786 It's a good thing I bought the paper. Take a look at that. Vera, I'm in no mood.
00:54:45 #787 Read that.
00:54:58 #788 No, I won't do it.
00:54:59 #789 Yes, you will.
00:55:00 #790 I'm crazy. It's impossible. I tell you. Excuse me.
00:55:10 #791 Blow the horn when you're through. No one could possibly get away with a Mac like that.
00:55:17 #792 Be wise to me in a minute. Don't be. You look enough like him.
00:55:20 #793 The same coloring in the same build. See how his clothes fit you.
00:55:23 #794 No kidding. You almost had me fooled for a while. Oh, grow up Vera.
00:55:27 #795 Don't you think a father knows his own son and there must be other relatives?
00:55:29 #796 A father won't have to know you. Well, wayleague is at the ghost.
00:55:32 #797 He's an old geezer and he won't pull through. And as far as other relatives are concerned,
00:55:36 #798 They haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
00:55:40 #799 Eight.
00:55:40 #800 I'm not hungry.
00:55:42 #801 And I won't do it.
00:55:43 #802 It's not as tough as it sounds.
00:55:45 #803 Remember, you've got all kinds of identification.
00:55:47 #804 His car, letters, license...
00:55:48 #805 I could never get away with it.
00:55:49 #806 It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
00:55:51 #807 The old boy has scads of dough.
00:55:53 #808 Look in the paper there.
00:55:54 #809 Personal fortune has assessed it over 15 million.
00:55:56 #810 He'll leave plenty, I tell you.
00:55:58 #811 Maybe cut off his son. How do we know?
00:56:00 #812 It's out, Vera.
00:56:01 #813 I won't have anything to do with it.
00:56:03 #814 I think you will.
00:56:05 #815 Look, Vera, I'll do anything within reason.
00:56:08 #816 But not that. So forget it. I'll find yourself another stooge.
00:56:11 #817 You sack!
00:56:13 #818 You'll be fixed for the rest of your life as Charlie Haskell.
00:56:15 #819 He can take you in here and go away.
00:56:17 #820 No more worrying about the rent, no sweating,
00:56:19 #821 scheming, wondering where your next meal's coming from.
00:56:21 #822 Think about that, Roberts!
00:56:22 #823 Vera, please, you're talking too loud.
00:56:25 #824 Unless I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
00:56:27 #825 Sure, why not? We're both alike.
00:56:29 #826 Both born the same guy.
00:56:30 #827 Now take it easy, Vera. There's people around here.
00:56:32 #828 You don't know where you're talking.
00:56:34 #829 We'll wait until we read that old man Haskell's dead.
00:56:37 #830 Then you show up.
00:56:38 #831 Like you read in New York that he was sick.
00:56:41 #832 No.
00:56:42 #833 Suppose he doesn't die?
00:56:43 #834 He will. I know he will.
00:56:44 #835 Something tells me.
00:56:46 #836 But as much as I insisted I would have no part of her scheme,
00:56:51 #837 Vera was taking it for granted I would.
00:56:53 #838 Neither of us had our mind on the cards
00:56:56 #839 as we played that night.
00:56:58 #840 I knew we were just trying to kill time
00:57:00 #841 between newspaper editions.
00:57:02 #842 This was a death watch for Vera.
00:57:05 #843 Maybe it was for me, too.
00:57:07 #844 Don't you realize if I'm caught, they'll want to know where I got the car and stuff,
00:57:11 #845 and they'll have me on a murder charge.
00:57:12 #846 If you're smart, you won't get caught.
00:57:14 #847 I knock with seven.
00:57:16 #848 And if I'm caught, don't you realize you'll be out too?
00:57:19 #849 Eighteen points. That gives me thirty.
00:57:23 #850 How will I be out?
00:57:24 #851 You'll be out $1850 we would have gotten on the car.
00:57:27 #852 Really, very. You'd be an awful chumfy through.
00:57:29 #853 We all let dough in a dizzy long shot.
00:57:30 #854 Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
00:57:32 #855 With the money it'll bring and what you've already got,
00:57:33 #856 a clever kid like you can run it up in no time.
00:57:35 #857 Then we'd both be in the clear.
00:57:36 #858 I'll be in the clear anyway.
00:57:38 #859 Maybe.
00:57:40 #860 But if I got caught, I'd get good news for a chew, you know?
00:57:44 #861 You mean you'd squeal? Oh, no, not squeal. Exactly.
00:57:46 #862 Never mind what you meant.
00:57:49 #863 Even if you did tell the cops I was in on it with you,
00:57:52 #864 what could they do to me?
00:57:54 #865 They might give me the same medicine they gave you. Yeah.
00:57:57 #866 A rope.
00:58:01 #867 But I'm on my way.
00:58:05 #868 I'll be doing what we're rushing it.
00:58:07 #869 All right.
00:58:08 #870 But think of the 1850 in Luz.
00:58:10 #871 You'd kick yourself along the block and let get away from you.
00:58:12 #872 I'll take the chance.
00:58:14 #873 One another drink?
00:58:15 #874 You're being a goon.
00:58:16 #875 That's the way people wind up behind the eight ball.
00:58:18 #876 Once they get a few dollars, they become greedy and want more.
00:58:21 #877 My my. See sir? Who?
00:58:24 #878 You know that Roman general.
00:58:25 #879 He got his for being greedy.
00:58:26 #880 He wasn't satisfied so the final wind up was he took the count.
00:58:29 #881 A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
00:58:32 #882 Why you were so broke you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
00:58:35 #883 Now you've got almost $700.
00:58:36 #884 With 18.50 in the offering.
00:58:38 #885 Take my advice. Don't try for more.
00:58:40 #886 I'm tired of this game. Let's have some blackjacket.
00:58:42 #887 Play Solitaire.
00:58:43 #888 Okay, I will if that's the way you feel about it.
00:58:45 #889 That's the way I feel about it.
00:58:46 #890 Getting so unthrowing things won't help much, Roberts.
00:58:48 #891 I'm really doing you a favor.
00:58:50 #892 I'll help you out of the jam by keeping my mouth shut.
00:58:52 #893 I'll show you how to make some soft money.
00:58:53 #894 And what thanks do I get? Thanks! Sure.
00:58:56 #895 I would rather call the cops and tell them you killed the man and stole his money.
00:58:58 #896 I didn't do anybody. Yes, you did.
00:58:59 #897 No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
00:59:01 #898 All right, then.
00:59:05 #899 Suppose I call the cops.
00:59:07 #900 Here, Anderson, what do you got to be scared of? Okay.
00:59:10 #901 Call him, you mutt. Go ahead and call him. See if I care.
00:59:13 #902 At least they'll give me a square deal.
00:59:15 #903 You want me to call him?
00:59:16 #904 You heard me. But I'm warning you.
00:59:18 #905 If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were innocent.
00:59:20 #906 I'll say that you helped me. If I fry, I'll get even with you.
00:59:23 #907 You wouldn't dare, you tin.
00:59:25 #908 Yeah? And try it and see.
00:59:27 #909 Call him. Yeah.
00:59:29 #910 Okay, I will.
00:59:31 #911 Information?
00:59:46 #912 I want the number at the Hollywood police station.
00:59:49 #913 Okay, I got it. Thanks.
00:59:52 #914 Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
00:59:58 #915 I'll show you if I wouldn't.
00:59:59 #916 Take it easy. Now let's talk this over.
01:00:01 #917 This was early in the evening,
01:00:03 #918 and the conversation while hectic was at least pitched low.
01:00:08 #919 But as the minutes passed,
01:00:09 #920 and more obstacles to her plan popped into my head,
01:00:12 #921 the air got blue.
01:00:14 #922 Each word coming from our lips cracked like a whip.
01:00:17 #923 I reminded her that as Charles Haskell,
01:00:19 #924 I didn't even know my mother's name.
01:00:21 #925 Where I'd gone to school, the name of my best friend,
01:00:25 #926 whether I had an aunt Emma or not,
01:00:27 #927 My religion. And if I had ever owned a dog,
01:00:30 #928 I didn't even know what my middle initial stood for.
01:00:33 #929 I also pointed out that the real Haskell had a Scar in his forearm.
01:00:37 #930 His people never saw that Scar.
01:00:39 #931 He told me to run away right after putting out the kid's eye.
01:00:41 #932 Yeah, but his father knew he was cut. It'd have to be some kind of a mark.
01:00:44 #933 So what?
01:00:46 #934 The old man's dead or will be. I hope I don't borrow morning's papers.
01:00:50 #935 Anyway, you can cut yourself a little, couldn't you?
01:00:54 #936 Boy, for that kind of dough, I'd let you cut my leg off.
01:00:58 #937 You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera. Turn me in if you want to, but I won't get mixed up in this.
01:01:02 #938 Besides, how do we know Haskell was such a phony? Maybe it wasn't the man's son at all, maybe he just dreamed it up.
01:01:06 #939 Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming when the law taps you on the shoulder.
01:01:11 #940 There's a cute little gas chamber waiting for you, Roberts.
01:01:15 #941 And I hear extradition to Arizona's a stench.
01:01:18 #942 Where's that phone?
01:01:20 #943 Right here. I want a phone.
01:01:24 #944 I hate you, you ill-stinker, you let me home!
01:01:30 #945 I'll let you alone, you promise to leave the phone where it is, you're drunk, you don't know what you're doing!
01:01:34 #946 You're hurting me!
01:01:35 #947 Will you promise?
01:01:36 #948 Alright, you hurt me.
01:01:45 #949 I'm sorry, but...
01:01:46 #950 Miss Hotten here, open up the window!
01:01:48 #951 It's not hot!
01:01:49 #952 Don't tell me, neither you do it or do I do it!
01:01:54 #953 You're no gentleman, see? Yeah.
01:01:57 #954 Alright, I'll open up the window.
01:01:59 #955 Open the door.
01:02:09 #956 Please open the door.
01:02:10 #957 Vera, open the door, don't use the phone.
01:02:12 #958 listen to me I don't like you Robert you're no gentleman see you hurt my hand and
01:02:19 #959 I'm going to get even with you if you don't open the door I'm going to kick it
01:02:22 #960 down Vera don't call the cops listen to me I'll do anything you say
01:02:27 #961 there let me in I'll break the phone the world is full of skeptics I know I'm
01:03:14 #962 on myself in the Haskell business how many of you would believe he fell out
01:03:18 #963 of the car. Now after killing Vera without really meaning to do it, how many of you
01:03:22 #964 would believe it wasn't premeditated? In a jury room, every last man of you would
01:03:28 #965 go down shouting that she had me over a barrel and my only out was force.
01:03:31 #966 And we're still so quiet that for a while I wondered if I had suddenly gone deaf.
01:03:39 #967 It was pure fear of course and that was hysterical but without making a sound.
01:03:45 #968 Her was dead.
01:03:46 #969 And that was her murderer.
01:03:48 #970 Murderer?
01:03:49 #971 What an awful word that is.
01:03:51 #972 But I'd become one.
01:03:53 #973 I'd better not get caught.
01:03:55 #974 What evidence there was around the place had to be destroyed.
01:03:58 #975 And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
01:04:00 #976 Looking around the room at things we'd bought was like looking into the faces of a hundred people who'd seen us together and who remembered me.
01:04:06 #977 This was the kind of testimony I couldn't rub out.
01:04:09 #978 No.
01:04:11 #979 I could burn clothes and hide bottles.
01:04:14 #980 and hide bottles for the next five years.
01:04:16 #981 There'd always be witnesses.
01:04:18 #982 The landlady for one.
01:04:19 #983 She could identify me, the car dealer, the waitress and the drive-in,
01:04:21 #984 the girl in the dress shop and that guy in the liquor store.
01:04:24 #985 He could all identify me.
01:04:29 #986 Done for. I had to get out of there.
01:04:32 #987 While one side remained beside a dead body,
01:04:34 #988 planning carefully how to avoid being accused of killing him,
01:04:37 #989 this time I couldn't.
01:04:39 #990 This time I was guilty.
01:04:42 #991 I knew it.
01:04:44 #992 Failed it.
01:04:46 #993 I was like a guy suffering from shock.
01:04:48 #994 Things were whirling around in my head.
01:04:50 #995 I couldn't make myself think right.
01:04:52 #996 All I could think of was the guy with the saxophone
01:04:55 #997 and what he was playing.
01:04:57 #998 It wasn't a love song anymore.
01:04:59 #999 It was a durch.
01:05:01 #1000 Things weren't solved.
01:05:51 #1001 I had to stay away from New York for all time.
01:05:55 #1002 Because Al Robbers was listed as dead and had to stay dead.
01:05:59 #1003 And I could never go back to Hollywood.
01:06:02 #1004 Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
01:06:05 #1005 Then too, there was Sue.
01:06:10 #1006 I could never go to her with a thing like this hanging over my head.
01:06:14 #1007 All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
01:06:17 #1008 I was in Bakersfield before I read that Vera's body was discovered.
01:06:33 #1009 That the police were looking for Haskell in connection with his wife's murder.
01:06:38 #1010 Isn't that a laugh?
01:06:40 #1011 Haskell got me into this mess, and Haskell was getting me out of it.
01:06:44 #1012 The police were searching for a dead man.
01:06:46 #1013 I keep trying to forget what happened.
01:06:54 #1014 And wonder what my life might have been if that car of Haskells hadn't stopped.
01:07:00 #1015 But one thing I don't have to wonder about...
01:07:03 #1016 I know.
01:07:04 #1017 Someday a car will stop to pick me up that I never thumbed.
01:07:14 #1018 Yes.
01:07:16 #1019 Fate, or some mysterious force,
01:07:19 #1020 can put the finger on you or me.
01:07:22 #1021 For no good reason at all.
01:07:25 #1022 you
