You wouldn't believe
me if I told you.
But I'm being a bad hostess,
what would you like?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Are you sure?
I'm very sure.
Paul, is there some reason
for all this mystery?
Dr. Green didn't want
to tell me about Mandon
and then Mandon
didn't want to tell me
about you.
You found me.
But at what a price.
I thought you'd left town.
That's one thing
you can be sure of.
I won't leave town.
Tell me about Mandon.
Have you known him very long?
Just since I've
been here.
He's almost an underworld
character, you know.
Really?
Really.
From now on if you have
any legal business
why don't you take it
to Fred Golightly?
Miss Margaret.
Mr. Dobson is waiting.
Thank you, Rushing.
Paul... stop resenting us
for just a little while.
Please be nice
to Father
and listen to what
he has to say.
I've told him how
wonderful you are.
So don't fight
with him, hmm?
I don't want
to fight with him.
All I want is
to be let alone.
Well, hear him
out anyway.
He may have a
surprise for you.
Well, we meet again.
To coin a phrase.
And this time,
much more pleasantly.
Margaret dear
I prefer to talk
to Mr. Murphy alone.
Oh, Father...
Do as your father
says, Margaret.
It'll be all right.
All right, Paul- I'll wait
for you in the tap room.
Sit down, Paul.
You have quite a way with Margaret. Sir?
I tell her to go,
and she argues.
You tell her to go,
and she goes.
You know, I'd almost
given up hope
of ever finding a man
that Margaret would listen to.
I assure you, I did
nothing to encourage it.
You couldn't have done better
than to have shown a complete
disregard for money.
Good tactics...verygood.
Obvioustactics to use
on the daughter of a man
as rich as you are.
Unfortunately, I don't seem
to be able to convince you
that you have
nothing I want.
Now look here, Paul.
All the men Margaret's
had anything to do with
wanted only the responsibility
of hermoney.
Not the responsibility
of thewoman.
That made them subservient.
And you can't do that
with Margaret.
you're through.
She's got to have
a man she respects.
She's young, she'll find one.
She has. You.
But you don't know
anything about me.
I'm atotalstranger to you.
I might be a thief,
I might be a... convict.
I might even be a murderer.
Paul, if you are
any of those things
I'll find it out eventually.
But when a drowning man reaches
for a piece of driftwood
he doesn't mind getting
splinters in his hands.
And may I point out that a
personal relationship with me
might have certain advantages
to an ambitious man.
Oh, of that
I'm sure.
Just how high does your
disregard for money go?
Because the man
who accepts Margaret
will also have to accept
the management of her estate.
Herestate?
Yes... I know this may come
as a surprise to you
but Margaret's fortune
is greater than mine.
It was her
grandmother's money.
It's been in trust
for years
in the hands of some
very talented bankers.
Mr. Dobson...
All I want is to be letalone.
And there's another thing.
When I found out
I thought I'd better
hold this up.
It's the annulment petition.
You're still married,
you see.
Think it over
and let me know tomorrow.
Good night, Paul.
Good night, sir.
Is this part of the tap room?
Oh! You startled me.
What did Father say?
He, uh...
made me a proposition.
And you
accepted, hmm?
Well, he gave me 'till tomorrow
morning to make up my mind.
And what will you
tell him tomorrow
when you've made
up your mind?
Probably that I accept.
Oh, darling!
That's a
pistol, isn't it?
Yes, that's a pistol.
Why are you
carrying it?
Protection.
I have a permit.
Protection
against what?
Hold-ups.
It's not the only
reason, is it?
Of course it is.
I always thought when
people carried guns
they were afraid
of something.
Not necessarily.
You shouldn't have done that.
Why?
You've nothing to be
afraid of anymore.
Paul, let's get
away from here.
Let's get in the
car and drive
and just keep
on going.
For a week, a
month, a year
as long as we like.
You mean right now?
This minute.
Well, we can't do it
just like that.
I've got a few odds
and ends
to tie together
at my place
and pick up a few things...
We can pick up anything
we want on the way.
Not this we can't.
You really want to go?
More than anything
in the world.
All right.
I'll do what needs doing
and, uh, be back in an hour.
I'll be waiting.
Yeah?
Paul.
Just a minute.
So you came back?
Yes, I came back
to get my money.
I'm leaving.
Where's the money?
Are you?
Are you leaving?
Yes! Where's the money?
You and your
rich girl?
And which direction
are you going?
I'm going
in all directions
and I'm taking my money
with me.
While you're at it,
take this with you.
What is it?
A bullet.
I know it's a bullet.
It's got my brother's
brains on it.
They dug it out of his
What are you talking about?
Cobbett.
Cobbett!
Tell him.
myself.
It came from the gun you had
when you made the break.
It was the only.38
that was fired.
The guards had 30-30's
and.45's.
Get in the bedroom.
This is the gun
he means.
The one you told
me to get rid of.
The one you killed
my brother with!
Now look, Holiday
you've got a wonderful set-up
here.
You and Mandon and Jinx.
I'm leaving it all
to you.
You can have it.
I don't want it.
I just want this
next minute with you.
But you don't know
how this thing is rigged.
I sent a copy
of that record to my brother.
He hasn't played it yet.
But if he doesn't hear from me
once a week, he will.
If he plays it,
he'll know what to do.
First, they'll pick up Weber.
Then they'll pick up the rest
of you.
And then
you'll all fall down.
Do you think
I care now?
If there's anything
wrong with me, you did it.
You made me go
along with you.
You changed me.
You made me just
the same as you are.
And you've got nobody
to blame but yourself.
Look, Holiday,
this other girl...
That's part of it, too.
But you've got it all wrong.
You don't know the whole story.
I was just over talking
to her father.
all her money for her.
Do you realize
what that can mean?
You started here
with a lie
and you're going to
end here with a lie.
That's Dobson's chauffeur.
He drove me over here.
They want me to spend the night
at the house
and sign the papers
in the morning.
Let him in.
The room's too
full as it is.
Now, Holiday, don't do anything
you'll be sorry for.
Tomorrow, everything will
be different. We'll be rich.
All I've got to do is say yes
to Dobson tomorrow.
One little word,
and we'll have millions!
You only said one true thing
in your life.
And that's when you said
you were going away tonight.
And you are.
Three miles out of town
and six feet down.
All alone.
