Glad though .. aren't you?
Oh yes, sure.
Naturally.
Aren't you going to kiss me?
Well ..
It looks that way.
Arthur.
- What?
You act so strange.
Me, strange?
What is it?
- It's my heart.
I'll get my medicine.
- It's upstairs.
Oh yes, that medicine. Yes.
I've got something else.
An apple.
I have to eat an apple.
Isn't it silly?
Am I married?
- You mean, is you ..?
No, I mean my brother. Was he married?
Not exactly what you call married.
She's Miss Muriel Preston, she is.
Does she live here?
No, sir. She don't exactly live here.
She's one of the "come as you
please, and go as you please" kind.
When I want apples, I want apples.
Now hurry up and get me one.
Chelsea 3-9-9-7-0.
Another dame?
What does that make you?
Oh.
Get down there?
On what?
On your hands and knees if you have to.
I need help and I need it badly.
Okay, pal. I'm leaving now.
You feel better now?
Much.
The first time I ever heard an
apple was good for heart trouble.
Me too.
I mean I hadn't heard
about it until the ..
Doctor told me.
I saw Charlie last night.
Oh, did you?
How ..
How is he?
Oh you know, just about the same.
He doesn't change much, does he.
Edna was in too.
Well, well, well.
Good old Edna.
- I thought you didn't like her.
No, of course I ..
I don't like her, but ..
Well you know, she ..
She's much nicer since her husband died.
Yes .. yes, that helped.
And also I looked up that guy Barkwell
that wrote the letter you showed me.
But there don't seem to be nothing
there I can get my hands on.
You mean you don't suspect Arthur Drake?
Certainly I suspect him.
Suspecting people is my business, lady.
No, no, no. What I mean is ..
You think you can find
proof that her robbed us?
Well we ain't found it yet, have we.
No, alright.
What I say is that if
we ain't found it yet ..
Then we still got a
chance of finding it.
Rot!
Huh?
Now Dad, I'm handling this.
Yes, and let me tell you you're walking
yourself right into a lot of trouble.
No trouble when I'm
on the job, Mr Merrow.
I never miss.
As soon as I get the low-down
lady, I'll give you a buzz.
I never miss.
And I never forget.
Hey .. your hat.
Detective.
Let me tell you young lady,
this is positively silly.
You call being robbed "silly"?
Do you think Arthur would invite me to
his house if he'd robbed me of anything?
Dad, we've gone all over this.
Yes, and we're going over it again.
I'm going to accept his invitation.
But Dad ..
- Dad, nothing.
I'm sick and tired of
this nosy-poke business.
Hey.
How about a lift?
Well ..
Come on inside.
You're a big boy.
My name is Keeney.
- Oh yes, Mr Keeney.
Glad to know you, sir.
"Clark", is my name.
You are going far?
There's a place down
here called Elm View.
Elm View? Well, well.
What a coincidence.
What a co .. what?
I too am on my way to Elm View.
Oh.
What did you say your name was?
Clark.
Clark?
Clark.
Oh yes.
Clark, huh?
Do you know anybody down at .. Elm View?
Yes indeed. I'm very well acquainted
with Arthur Drake down there.
A tough guy to get along
with, don't you think?
Well, yes and no I should say.
I've had some rather bitter
controversies with Mr Drake.
Oh you have, have you?
Oh yes indeed.
Some bitter controversies.
Miss Diane Merrow and her father, sir.
Diane?
- Alright, sir.
Excuse me, please.
Hello, Diane.
I'm awfully glad you could come.
It was Dad who telephoned.
Will you excuse me please now?
Surely.
- Thank you.
Well Mr Merrow, it's
nice to see you again.
Well, I'm awfully
glad to see you, Arthur.
You haven't changed a bit.
- Changed?
Well I mean .. since ..
Now don't try to be tactful, Arthur.
It's not at all necessary.
You mean since I've lost my money.
Yes. Yes, that's what I meant.
All in a lifetime, Arthur.
I'm sorry you lost money, too.
I lost ..?
Oh well, what's money, eh?
Right. That's what I've always said.
Well, I'll be right down.
I've got lots to talk over
with you about the business.
Good. We should talk about our business.
I am sorry to have kept you waiting.
So that's why you were nervous, eh?
Uh .. nervous?
I don't understand.
I thought you said Diane
never stayed at Elm View.
She doesn't.
Oh, just coming to call this evening?
She came to stay the night
but her father came with her.
That old fool!
Now look. You can't talk
that way about Mr Merrow.
You're going to tell me how to talk, eh?
Say, you've got a nerve.
Suppose I get sore and squawk?
Suppose you get sore and what?
Give the whole thing away.
The .. whole .. thing?
What do you mean? About you and me?
- Yes, and what goes with it.
Yes.
What goes with it.
That would be bad.
Plenty bad.
For you.
Where are you going?
I'm going back to town. When I get there
I'll give you something to worry about.
Now wait a minute. Listen, now listen.
Alright, I'll listen.
What have you got to say?
Well.
Don't be mad.
Why shouldn't I be mad?
Now why should you?
- You know why.
Good and plenty.
- Now, now.
Don't you "now-now" me.
I'm not "now-nowing" anybody.
I'm only trying to ..
- Trying to what?
Oh, don't let's fight.
I don't want to fight.
I beg your pardon.
- That's quite alright.
I ..
I just wanted to ..
Type some notes in the study.
By all means, go right
ahead .. Miss Merrow.
Thank you.
Cat.
Say who are you calling cat?
Oh you mean she ..?
Oh yeah.
Don't get jealous, darling.
Jealous .. ha!
As if I had to.
No, no of course you don't have to.
Good evening, Miss Preston.
A lovely old place
you have here, Arthur.
Great atmosphere.
Always a sense of peace and harmony.
Well, I wouldn't say always, Mr Merrow.
Well .. nearly always.
Yes, I'll give you "nearly always".
You know, I've got a few questions
I want to ask you about our business.
You want to ask me?
Oh .. oh!
I'm afraid I gave her the wrong notes.
I'll be right back.
Diane.
Diane, I am sorry.
- Sorry for what?
Well, you know, I ..
I only know what I'm paid to know.
You know Mr Drake, these notes ..
Diane, listen. There is
something I've to tell you.
That woman doesn't mean
anything to me. She never did.
And I'm ..
Diane, I have to tell you
this even if I get shot for it.
I don't care ..
Muriel.
Listen, Muriel, I ..
- Don't you "Muriel" me!
Trying to pass me up for
that Merrow girl, huh?
Well you won't get away with it.
- Now listen.
If there is any more talk between
us, you'll do the listening.
In you go, sucker.
What's this?
Mr Drake.
I demand to know the
meaning of this outrage.
Stow the gab. Here.
This is Clark.
Who?
Clark.
You know, the guy that cracked
down on you over the telephone.
Mr Drake, I ..
- Oh, so you are Clark, eh?
Of course I am Clark.
You know that as well as I do.
This fellow took me unawares.
- Cut it out. Let me tell you something.
I am getting sick of being threatened
over the telephone. Do you understand?
When I owe anybody money I'm prepared
to pay but I want to know what it's for.
