I had to think sharp and talk fast.

Aha. You must have been

a pretty good shamus, Cravat.

- Shamus?

- Shamus is a private eye.

Well, at least it looks like

I kept my nose clean, anyway.

Yeah. You think

you'll go back to it?

No, thanks. See, three years of war

can change a man.

That's what

I always say.

Well, if I can be of any help to you,

just let me know.

Thanks. I'd like to drop around

if you don't mind.

There's still a lot of questions

I want answers for.

I know the answer to one.

But you haven't asked it yet.

You know, Moskowitz, have you ever wondered

why a detective keeps his hat on all the time?

- Can't say I ever thought about it, Lieutenant.

- I found out why tonight.

You see, if you have to shoot a man,

you don't wanna be holding a hat in your hand.

Seems that

the movies are right.
