Positively nothing.
I'm very sorry.
Thank you, ma'am.
I have your name.

Nothing available, sir

No mail, Mrs. Eustace.
You might try
the El Capitan
down the street, sir
but I know they have
nothing either.
My name is Blane.
I reserved rooms
for four with bath.
Oh, yes, Mr. Blane,
I received your wire.
Hey, Bud.
Yes, sir?
Check that for me,
will you?
Be glad to, sir.
You wait here, I'll bring you
If you'd checked
out by 3:
00, sirwe wouldn't have charged you
for an extra day.
Sorry.
Not a thing, sir.
We don't have a thing.
Yeah, I know.
Will you put that
in Mr. Frank Hugo's box?
Oh, yes, sir. Would you
like me to call his room?
No, just put it
in this box.
Yes, sir.
Here is the check
for your bag, sir.
Keep the change.
Oh, thak your, sir.
Yes?
I want to see Frank Hugo.
If you'd telepohoned from downstairs
you'd have found that
Mr. Hugo is not in.
Not that I can think of.
Then if you'll allow me,
I'll close...
I told you,
Mr. Hugo's not in!
You his barber?
I'm M. Hugo's private secretary.
That's too bad, I was going
to ask you for a shave.
You can't wait
in Mr. Hugo's room.
Where is he?
If you have no appointment
you'll have to wait downstairs.
I don't like it downstairs.
When will he be back?
I said you'll have to
wait downstairs.
Now look:
if you don't leavethis room at once
I'll have to call
the manager.
I wouldn't do that.
Then get out!
Excuse it, please.
Oh...
Hello.
Is Frank in?
No.
Did, uh...
Did you do that?
He'll be all right.
Oh, I wasn't worried.
A lot of people will be
very grateful to you.
Jonathan can be awfully stuffy.
Yeah, I noticed.
Do you mind my asking
what you're doing here?
Waiting for Frank Hugo.
He ought to be here
in a few minutes.
Do you expect to join us?
Look, why don't you just
sit down and stop pumping?
I was just curious.
You don't intend
shooting me, do you?
Did you really expect
to find a gun?
Good heavens, you really did.
You must led a fascinating life.
You're not through
with me, are you?
No.
May I have a light?
Sure.
There's one right
there on the table.
Shall I answer that?
No, I'll get it.
Hello.
No.
No, Jonathan's not here.
Yeah, this is Mr. Hugo's room.
Oh, hello, Mr. Hugo.
No, there's nobody here.
This is the bellboy speaking.
I just brought some ice.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, I see.
Yes, I will.
That was Frank?
Frank himself.
Call the police.
I don't think this gentleman
would approve of that.
Your boss just telephoned.
He said he wouldn't
be back until tomorrow.
Well, that's being stoop
up rather thoroughly.
You're not leaving?
Yeah.
But we could have dinner
in the room.
No, thanks.
Who shall I say called?
Just tell him Shorty's pal called...
and will call again.
Hello there, Mr. Gagin.
How about some lunch?
The grill's open.
Who are you?
My name's Retz.
R-E-T-Z-- Retz.
I don't know you.
Well, come along inside.
We'll have a cup of coffee
get acquainted, again.
Got my name, huh?
Oh, I got a lot of things.
For instance?
Well, you come in on the 4:00 BUS
sat up all the way
from Washington D.C.
that was a cute little trick you pulled
with your note for Frank Hugo
to find his room number.
You waited till he phoned
he wasn't coming till tomorrow.
Also, you haven't had any lunch.
Neither have I.
How about a bite?
I'll have a cup of coffee
and some Danish pastry.
Yes, sir.
What are you having, Gagin?
Not a thing.
That'll be all, then.
I guess you know
you're not going to find
a room in this town.
The fiesta's got her
filled up to her ears.
Lots of excitement.
Floats, dancing in the streets--
The indians put on
a special show.
You a cop?
That's about right.
Washington?
Government cop.
My, my.
How come you're
tailing me, Uncle Sam?
Oh, thank you, ma'am.
You'll excuse me.
Oh, I'm not tailing you.
I got in yesterday
ahead of you.
Come for the fiesta?
I didn't know about the fiesta.
You and the fiesta are both gravy.
Who's going to ask
the questions-- me or you?
Go ahead.
I'm not used to pumping cops.
Oh, I don't mind.
How come you know me?
Saw you in Washington
at Shorty Thompson's inquest.
Some inquest that was, huh?
You testified you had no idea
who killed your pal.
Yeah, the cops and I
were equally baffled.
I spotted you at the desk here.
Checked on your arrival.
That's the whole
mystery, on my end.
Except what you're doing here.
I'm tailing Mr. Hugo.
I thought you knew that.
I don't know anything.
I been watching him
for six months.
You don't watch him
very close, do you?
You mean you think
he killed Shorty?
I'll leave the thinking
to you, Uncle Sam.
All right.
This is what I think--
You're here to square
things for Shorty
by knocking off
Hugo, right?
Go on.
Also, you are
as dumb as they come.
I am, huh?
Why, Mr. Hugo's a big man
in this part of the world.
He's got lots of friends
in this state.
He's too tough for you.
Maybe.
Why don't you smart up?
Leave him to us.
We'll get him.
Anything else on your mind?
Oh, don't rush off.
You know, I wouldn't
like it a minute
if Mr. Hugo got you.
Wye, you're not a bad fellow.
You're like the rest of the boys--
fought a war for three years
and got nothing but
a dangle of ribbons.
Whe don't you let
your Uncle Samuel
take care of him?
How long you
been after him?
A long time--
Too long to let anything
happen to it now.
Yeah.
Would be a shame,
wouldn't it?
Thanks for the advice, Uncle.
Maybe I sized you
up all wrong.
Maybe you're after
something else.
And maybe you're
working for Hugo.
I told you I worked
for the government.
Doesn't the government
work for Hugo?
It did all during the war.
Well, if it isn't Jonathan's friend.
He sends you his love.
Mr. Locke, mister...
Gagin.
Mr. Gagin.
How do you do?
Care to have a drink with us?
