swell of you fellas but there's one

thing I'd like you to explain to me mr.

hawk

how did you know that the girl you

thought was Mona was in Reno well

between the time I called you at your

place and we went out to Mona's place

for the questioning she called me from

the railroad station she asked me to go

to her safe and get some letters but

before I'd agreed I made her promise

that I could come to Reno and shoot the

rest of those scenes did she tell you

why she was leaving town oh she was

having some trouble with a boyfriend

said she was on the verge of a nervous

breakdown

ah then it was you who tried to strangle

me that night I say what is this a

frame-up oh she's kidding your heart she

knows it with the chauffeur told me I'll

give you a lift back alive you certainly

may baby Hoffman I up stay here to clear

up some details

you to divorce Hoffman from his bed

- till I've had time to lock you up some

- fine day for life on that sweet of you

Hoffman but you're a little bit late

I've already promised y'all hey is that.

Cale screwy or am I yeah yeah well

here's the payoff bought the chauffeur

was married to this demented sister

they'd been blackmailing Mona for years

and when she clamped down on them Murray

choked her to death so to protect her

the chauffeur killed a Smith girl none

attempted a few other murders

boss will hear you yeah

race yeah but we could be different

Susan we could get married here in Reno

ah think nothing of it if a certain pal

of mine would say it's just an

open-and-shut case

sport we've got to get back to Hollywood

on right from here together you really

illumination brother don't you know
