After the Thin Man Page #2

I'd just pick you up

and carry you right down like this.

Now you save me.

You put her down and you save me.

I'm on the third floor, too.

I'll bet you can't do this.

Now watch me. Here I go.

Not bad.

So when I picked this big lug up,

he didn't know a thing.

I taught him everything he knows.

Show them that new

arm lock I taught you.

Okay.

Just show him that headlock.

This will kill you.

Say, look, show him how

you throw them out in the aisle.

Hello, Nick. Hello, Nora. Welcome home.

We are tendering this

little surprise party for the...

Will you keep out of the kitchen?

We are busy.

Where'll I put this ice?

- Lay it down and don't bother me.

- Put it in the sink and break it up.

- Where's the oil?

- There isn't any more.

- Where do you want these?

- Over here, son.

And after that, come back

from the store with some olive oil.

- My toast!

- I'll take care of that.

Mr. Charles, what are you doing here?

All right!

Hello there, Mr. Charles.

I'm glad to see you back.

- How are you, Nick?

- Did you enjoy your trip to Los Angeles?

We saw your pictures in the paper.

It said you did a good job in New York.

I guess they'll be scared to death

if there are more murders there.

I've been scared

to go down in the cellar ever since.

Don't you worry, Rose,

if anyone murders you, I'll catch them.

Mr. Charles, don't be talking that way.

What do you think of the party

they're giving you?

Looks like we're giving it.

- It does that, now.

- Something's burning!

Excuse me, I'll answer the phone.

That's probably your Aunt Katherine.

She's phoned several times.

She wants you to come to dinner.

Goodbye, Mrs. Charles,

I'll see you next year.

- She expects you, too, Mr. Charles.

- Me?

There must be some mistake.

She wouldn't want you.

No.

What excuse will I make?

Tell her I lost a collar button in New York

and we've got to go look for it.

It's your cousin, Mrs. Landis, madam.

Thank heavens it isn't Aunt Katherine.

- Go on, get out of it now.

- Don't worry.

I wouldn't go through that again

if you had twice as much money.

Hello, Selma.

Nora, I just wanted to make sure

you were coming tonight.

But you've just got to come,

I'm in terrible trouble, please.

No, I can't tell you now,

but you must come. I'm desperate...

Selma!

- Whom are you calling?

- Nora.

- I told you...

- I can't help it. L...

There are pills in my bag, take them.

- No, really, I'm all right.

- Take them or I'll call Dr. Kammer.

How are you, Nora?

This is Aunt Katherine.

You ought to know Selma well enough

not to pay any attention to that.

You see, it's New Year's Eve,

Aunt Katherine.

- The old battle-axe.
