You got any pictures of Sandra?

MARIA:
Hey.

- What?

- You mind much if I give you a little tip?

- No.

Why don't you stay away from her.

The kid's got a boyfriend.

I asked you if you got

any pictures of Sandra.

No. She never took any pictures.

Just guys.

Maria, darling. I hear oodles

and oodles of repartee...

...but I don't see any drinking.

Uh... Hi, Danny.

He was just asking me about Sandra.

Danny Yale, Tony Rome.

- How do you do?

- How are you?

How about you getting up and moving

that fatty tissue like we choreographed?

- It's not my turn again.

- Forget it.

- They're screaming for you.

- We just ordered some champagne.

Forget it.

It's all right, baby. We'll drink it later

at your house.

- Promise?

- That's a contract.

Okay.

See you later.

Spotted her in a choir.

But then, she brings them in

around here.

- She's lousy.

- And you're a critic.

Like you're a dance director.

Tell me about that other great

piece of talent, Sandra Lomax.

What's it to you, sweet?

Well, I got this here off-white

block piece of cement...

...I'm trying to match up

with a blond.

That girl they fished out

of the ocean this morning?

The very same.

Oh... Well, that couldn't have been

Sandra, dreamboat.

Now, just why couldn't

that have been Sandra?

Because she got in touch with me

this afternoon.

She told me she was quitting.

Well, that leads me

to two conclusions.

- You're lying.

- Oh...

Seymour.

Sugar, please.

Thank you.

Now, listen, sweetie.

I don't have to tell you anything.

True.

But I could get persuasive,

and you might even get to like it.

[YALE CHUCKLING]

But Seymour wouldn't.

And he played tailback

for the Green Bay Packers.

I know, I know. I saw him play.

He had the league record for illegal

use of hands. In the huddle yet.

[CHUCKLING]

Well, shall I scream "rape" now

or wait and phone in a complaint?

If you're asking me,

I'd rather you press charges.

You're not a holdover

from yesterday's bash?

ROME:

No, you left me off your list.

KIT:

Whew!

I can't think why.

Everyone else was here.

Tony Rome,

I'm a private detective.

How disappointing. And I thought

you were someone dangerous.

- I'm Kit Forrest.

- Yes, I know.

- Any trouble?

- No, no trouble.

I'm trying to locate somebody.

I thought you could help me.

Say, can't we discuss this

over a bull shot?

Over a bull what?

- Try one.

- No, I never drink on an empty stomach.

Ah! I always seem to need another.

About that party you gave last night...

Isn't this bar ghastly?

It's one of Father's collection

of early-American pornography.

He was such a lecher.

Was Sandra Lomax

at your party last night?

- Sandra?

- Yeah.

Well, I'm not sure.
