Another Thin Man Page #2

- Stop the car, I tell you.

All right, you take it.

- What happened?

- You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Come back here, Asta.

What are you hunting for?

I thought I knew,

but now I'll take anything I can find.

What is it?

Not a thing.

I wish you'd tell me what it's all about.

- What happened to the chauffeur?

- He was scared. Now I am.

Scared of what? I don't see anything.

There isn't anything.

That's what I'm scared of.

- Let's go back to New York.

- We can't. Col. MacFay's expecting us.

Let's go someplace

and get a drink and think it over.

The nearest drink is MacFay's.

Mommy, you're a stubborn woman.

Would you mind opening the gates?

- What do you want?

- We're bringing back Col. MacFay's car.

I see that all right,

but how do I know what you want?

This is the Charles family.

Nick Charles and family.

Anyone can say that.

And suppose you say it to Col. MacFay.

There's a party down here,

he says his name is Charles.

He looks to me like a pool parlor dude.

Okay, if you say so.

All right, go ahead.

Thank you.

Hey, there. Just a minute.

It's all right. We've been announced.

Those are my feet.

What's the idea of the kid?

We have a dog and he was lonesome.

That was the idea, wasn't it, Mommy?

- What is all this about?

- You'll find out.

I'll go with you to see that you arrive safe.

Come in.

Make yourself useful for once

and bring in the bags.

I'm Mrs. Bellam, the housekeeper.

We're sorry, we're late,

but we lost your chauffeur.

Bless your heart. That's quite all right.

Think no more about it. Come this way.

But all these guards and everything.

Is the Colonel all right?

Bless you, yes. He's waiting dinner.

You needn't hurry. If you'll just follow me.

I won't have it. I'm not a child.

I won't put up with it.

What's the use of saying we won't,

when we are?

It's a lot of April-foolery.

You call it what you like.

I've seen what I've seen.

- It was the Cuban.

- I don't think you need to worry anymore.

The two men had a falling-out.

One of them killed the other.

The other? I'm the one

that doesn't want to be killed.

Father dear, Freddie means that he...

- Jesse, down.

- At last.

- How are you, Colonel?

- How are you, my dear?

Glad to see you.

Wasn't there a body in the road?

He don't believe me.

- Oh, yes.

- You see?

- A body?

- Yes. It was gone when I went back.

Just a trick. It's all part of their game,

their plan to terrify me.

Go on.

Everybody brings these wild stories to me,

but nobody tries to help.

What is it, Colonel?

- Nothing wrong with Nora's estate?

- Estate? Is that all you're worried about?

- Doesn't anybody care about me?

- Father, why don't you have dinner first?
