The Woman in the Window Page #7

outside of this boyfriend

that you haven't got,

I'm the only person in the whole world

who knows you even knew Mazard.

Think about it that way for a minute.

From Havana,

it'll be a cinch to make South America.

And that's all there is to it.

- Lf I thought...

- Lf you thought what?

If you thought what?

Have you any more money than that?

- Keep it.

- Why?

Take a look in the mirror, beautiful,

and if you're thinking of somebody else,

don't be a sucker.

In a jam like this,

you've got to look out for yourself first.

I suppose so.

Do you think he'd think of you

if he had an out?

- When would we leave?

- The sooner the better.

Tomorrow morning?

Tonight would be better.

Would it make a great deal of difference?

Not if it's positive for tomorrow morning.

I'll have to do some phoning.

I can't have some people I know

running around to the police

and getting excited

about a disappearance.

Yeah, you'll have to watch that.

I'll have to think of

some kind of explanation.

Is it a deal then?

I guess so.

I guess it is.

All right, give me a kiss.

You're not still worried, are you?

Oh, I suppose not.

You leave it to me, we'll do all right.

Apparently, I'll have to.

I don't seem to have any other choice.

Don't you want your drink?

I don't think so.

I'll put some more ice in it.

I suppose I could say

I was going to the coast.

Well, here we go.

Do you really want me to drink this?

Why not?

- It's all settled, isn't it?

- That's what I thought.

- What do you mean?

- You take it.

- I've got mine.

- You take this one, I'll take yours.

Go ahead. What's the matter?

- Nothing.

- All right, then.

Drink it.

Drink it.

- What do you take me for, some kid?

- I don't know what you mean.

And all this time

I've been trying to give you a break,

trying to get you out of this jam.

I've got a good mind to break your neck.

You're crazy.

I don't know what you're talking about.

No, then why wouldn't you drink it?

Now, let's have the rest of it.

- There isn't anymore.

- Will you stop acting like I'm a school kid?

Get the rest of that dough and get it quick.

Come on.

Not under the mattress.

You amateurs.

What else you got here?

How could you lie to Pappy like that?

How did you think

you could get away with it?

Will you go now?

- Will you go?

- Sure.

But first, because you've been

such a smart little double-crosser,

I'm going to give you

another little job to do.

I'm going to let you dig up

some more dough for Pappy.

Another five grand by tomorrow night.

How do you like that?

It's no use.

I can't do it.

I think you can.

You try anyway.

And I'll be around again tomorrow night,

just to see what luck you have.

So long.

Professor?

He's gone.

Gone? How?

I see.

Yes.

I don't know, I'm not sure.

I haven't much more collateral.

I'm sorry.

But I don't know

what else I could have done.

I was so scared.

I'm sure you did all you could.

We're just not very skillful

at that sort of thing.

What can we do now?

I don't know, I haven't any idea.

I'm afraid I'm too tired

to think about it anymore tonight.

Too tired.

(GUN FIRING)

(SIREN WAILING)

- Who's that?

- It's Flinn, sir. I think he got him.

Did you get him?

Looks like it.

- Is that him?

- Yes, sir.

Some fellow saw him in

this neighborhood last night,

and I was patrolling along in the car

when I spotted him back there.

So I called him to halt,

and what does he do but start shooting.

Let's take a look.

He's our man, all right.

Did he come out of one of these houses?

Did you see?

If he did, I didn't see him.

He was just walking along when...

(WHISTLES)

He's done a lot for himself, huh?

What I can't figure

is what he started shooting for.

He just didn't like the idea of burning,

I guess.

Mazard's.

That's very funny.

I was beginning to get

an entirely different idea about this.

All right folks, break it up. Break it up.

It's all over, break it up!

(RINGING)

Operator, is Morning Side 5354

out of order?

I've been ringing it.

Will you try it, please? Will you?

It's very important.

(RINGING)

It's 10:
30, Professor Wanley.

It's 10:
30, sir.

Oh, yes. Yes, thank you.

- I fell asleep.

- Are you all right, sir?

Oh, yes, quite.

- Good night, Collins.

- Good night, sir.

My hat, please.

Here you are, sir.

- Charlie?

- Yes, Professor.

I can't tell you how happy I am

to see you alive and in such good health.

Oh, thank you, Professor.

- Taxi, Professor?

- No.

No, thanks.

- Good night, Ted.

- Good night, sir.

Pardon me, will you give me a light?

No.

Oh, no. Thank you, indeed.

Not for a million dollars!
