The Thin Man Page #10

Synopsis: After a four year absence, one time detective Nick Charles returns to New York with his new wife Nora and their dog, Asta. Nick re-connects with many of his old cronies, several of whom are eccentric characters, to say the least. He's also approached by Dorothy Wynant whose inventor father Clyde Wynant is suspected of murdering her father's mistress (his former secretary ).. Her father had left on a planned trip some months before and she has had no contact with him. Nick isn't all that keen on resuming his former profession but egged-on by wife Nora, who thinks this all very exciting, he agrees to help out. He solves the case, announcing the identity of the killer at a dinner party for all of the suspects.

What's the matter? You sorry he didn't?

I'm glad you're not a detective.

Not a hip in a carload.

Well, here's to you two!

And to you two, too!

- Why, the rat, he can't top us.|- No.

- Shall I keep these fresh for you?|- Yes.

My gracious, it's 1:00.

- It's what?|- 1:00.

No, baby, it's 11:00.

It is not, it's 1:00. I set my watch ahead.

Yeah, you set your watch ahead|at 12:00, didn't you?

Look, you're in New York, for instance.|The sun rises in New York.

San Francisco is|3,000 miles west of New York.

You're wrong!

The sun does not get to San Francisco|till three hours after New York.

Nick!

Yes, baby?

Does that mean that it's bedtime?

Well, that's a thought.

Come on, sugar, leave us do it.

Asta, are you ready?

- And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.|- Same to you, Nick.

Good night.

I can never thank you for all you've done.

Don't be silly.

Good night.

Gosh, darling, I thought they'd never leave.

I thought you'd never leave.

Baby, the sun rises in the east,|it sets in the west.

If it's 12:
00 in New York,|automatically, it's...

Nicky, put Asta in here with me tonight.

Oh, yeah?
