Penthouse Page #4

Synopsis: Racketeer Tony Gazotti is thankful that lawyer Jackson Durant helps him beat a murder rap, but Durant just does it for the thrill of it and refuses payment. Durant's defense of mobsters causes his firm to disown him and his girlfriend Sue to leave him. But when young Tom Siddall, Sue's new boyfriend, is framed for a murder, she is the first to come asking for Durant's help. Durant uses Gazotti's information network and the help of new girlfriend Gertie Waxted to find that rival gangster Jim Crelliman is involved in the framing of Siddall. When Durant sends Gertie to Crelliman's apartment in a bid to blow open the case, she is walking on thin ice.

If you wanna dance until you fall.

- Beautiful.

- AND.

Here it is.

Very beautiful.

- Do you feel comfortable?

- Of course.

Talking without stopping can be worrying.

I was trying to break the monotony.

- As?

- Praising your charm.

Enough talk.

I'll get you something to drink.

Layton always leaves...

- That makes?

- I'm going home.

Please stay. Did not you like it?

- Yes.

- Why are you going?

I need my stuff.

Come on, you'll leave me.

There you go. A pajama

I do not have much

variety, but...

if you want one in particular...

- There you go.

- All pajamas?

- Yes.

- Are you single?

Which one do you choose?

What do you like.

I'll pick him up.

It's late.

Get ready for your taste.

It broke?

- The glass is chipped.

- My God!

I'll have it repaired.

I appreciate it a lot. Mimi gave it to me.

Something Levitoff could not do.

Levitoff?

Yes. The lender. Mimi

kept pawning her things.

Why with Levitoff?

He paid well and was

friends with Crelliman.

"Did I say something?"

- Yes.

Something you did not know?

- Yes.

- What is?

Levitoff swore that he

sold the gun to Siddall.

Did not get it.

Is tired. Lay down.

Sorry to leave.

Maybe I'll talk to you in my dreams.

Is a good idea.

- Good evening.

- Good...

What is it?

What did you tell me?

- Can I fix this, sir?

- Yes, I'm coming.

- Really?

- Yes.

I'm sorry, sir.

Get Stevens in.

Hi, Steve.

Good morning. Incomodo?

"No. Do you want breakfast?"

"Not me, thanks, I'm coming."

"Bring coffee and fix it."

"Look at the pictures."

Very good.

"Has anyone heard us?"

- No.

"And the butler?" It's a grave.

My visit will be

frowned upon if known.

You came to me to advise

to invest in a comedy.

How do you know?

You worked 5 years on Broadway.

Bullseye!

Buy titles.

I am not encouraged by these obligations.

It is true.

- Anything else?

- No thank you.

- I'll make up.

- Go.

You've already helped me by telling

the steward that he was trapped.

"You owe me nothing." Thank you.

Lord Durant, no!

It does not lack anything to be happy!

Idiot! Leave the tray and come!

Leave it here.

I'm going to take a test.

Put there.

The bullet would pass through here.

- Please!

- It's not loaded.

I would log in here...

Turn around.

And he left here.

Please!

Crouch down.

Down, down.

Stay like this.

Oh, maybe she was sitting.

There were no chairs. Get up.

Stay like this.

The bullet would go straight to the hole.

Stand up straight.

There is no other.

He would have to shoot like that.

"Then he can not."

- He wants.

He shot from above. Clean it up.

- Are you awake?

- In between.

Hello.

- Good Morning.

- Good Morning.

I woke up you?

None of this. I was going to the shower.

Can I have one?

Excuse me.

I'm hungry.

Why did not you call me?

"I did not want to wake you."

- As attentive as seductive.

- Seducer?

With doubt?

Yes, last night. I had

to fight for my virtue.

I'm going to end up losing my ways.

Is it so polite or is it

the other way around?

I'm by another, it's you.

A girl who came one night?

You wanted to see the Chrysler building.

Should be it.

I shower and come back, I'll be brief.

I will surprise the butler.

"I really like your house."

I'm glad.

- And your furniture.

- Thank you.

- Is that you.

- Thank you.

- AND...

- AND...?

It's flattery.

That would be easy to do.

Mr. Durant, excuse me.

- Good morning lady.

- Good Morning.

- I can speak?

- Of course, go ahead.

"Particularly, sir." Since now.

- The poor man is missing.

- I'll be right back.

Keep eating.

Mrs. Leonard came ..

"Get her in."

- But she...?

- Do not be silly.

Stop thinking for me.

"I'm sorry, Sue. In between.

Sorry to bother you, Jack.

"But it's very important."

You never bother me.

What's the matter?

"You have to drop the case.

I abandon him?

"Yes, immediately."

You wanted to help him.

I know, but I've changed my mind.

Good. Tell me what happened.

A stranger called me, he said

leave the case or kill him.

Did he say anything?

That Gazotti wanted Crelliman

and sought revenge.

- It's your version.

- Leave it.

I do not want that

responsibility on my shoulders.

I will not leave this matter

for nothing in the world.

Your life is in danger.

You will not worry

about that, right?

Yes I will.

I was very stubborn wanting

to decide everything.

I made mistakes. Serious mistakes.

I do not want any more.

We all make mistakes.

They are not irreversible.

Do not worry, everything

will be fine.

They absolve you and you

will be very happy.

I doubt that.

Of course they will absolve.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- I think it would be better...

- No, no. Gertie.

Please, come.

Gertie, Miss. Leonard.

Ms. Waxted.

- Nice to meet you.

- I'm sorry to bother you.

Not at all.

MS. Waxted is here...

It does not matter...

You do not have to explain.

MS. Leonard...

"No, please, Gertie."

Let me tell you. MS. Leonard.

- MS. Leonard ..

- Yes?

Do not go for me.

Not that it affects me...

But he did. Because he loves her.

He mocks other women.

I just helped him on the case.

- I have to go.

- I get it.

It hurts me to think, too.

But it's true.

I'm indifferent.

Why you say that?

That does not interest me.

He can do whatever he wants.

I do not care.

- I'm sad.

- Good. Let's finish the coffee.

It's true, if you see

the Chrysler building.

Yes.

Tell me more about Mimi.

Where I was? When Mimi left...

Speaking of Ms. Leonard,

I'd like to do something.

Forget. Sit down.

Come on, go on.

Good...

When Mimi left Crelliman,

he did not look hurt.

But I would not swear.

You never know what anyone thinks.

I'm not very concrete.

I just help.

Do not worry.

- Sugar?

- Yes.

You're very kind to

let me sleep here.

I do not envy seeing that balcony.

What balcony?

From my apartment if you see

the balcony where Mimi...

Do you have a cigarette?

Do you have a balcony view?

Yes. Right in front of me.

Stop mentioning that.

I'm moving.

Crelliman can always rent it.

What did you say?

- I'm moving.

- No, no. Something about Crelliman.

Ah, the property is yours.

Really?

"Yes. Are you surprised?"

- Yes.

Your investments are in brick.

There is less control

than a bank account.

Give me your key.

I'll get your things.

You're very kind. I'll bring it now.

So, I'm going to

change my dress.

- My hat and coat.

- Yes sir.

Do not let anyone in or out.

Understood?

Yes sir.

- Have you?

- No.

It will be in this bazaar.

Take it.

- Residential Oklahoma.

- I know her.

Apartment 26 A.

You will find my

clothes in the closet.

Take two of each class.

There's a blue dress.

Actually, there are two.

But you will recognize.

Ribite red on the neck, pleated

skirt, pleated sleeves.

In other words, a blue dress.

Yes.

And two hats.

Not even talk.

You will not let it.

Please, Mr. Durant...

"No. I'll be honest."

You should not leave

under any pretext.

I want to interject her

about Mimi's last night.

One could guess.

- And disapprove?
