wait for him to call and go on working.

Let's try not to think about it anymore.

- Okay, Carol.

Let's see... I guess this Stone letter

goes first.

You ready?

- Yes.

Irwin Stone & Co...

Cleveland, Ohio.

Dear Mr. Stone:

Under separate cover, we are sending

you a duplicate of the blueprints.

And we wish to assure you...

Where was I?

- "And we wish to assure you... "

And we wish to assure you...

the original estimate

for the garden terrace...

is a correct one.

As submitted to you...

July 16.

Funny you can remember the bar, but you

can't remember what the woman was like!

We've been over that 100s of times!

Leave me alone, I'm tired!

- You're tired, eh?

Don't you realize this could mean a

long rest cure for you unless...

I told you you're wasting your time

trying to pin this on me! - Yeah, sure!

Remarkable though...

You spent hours with a woman and you

don't know who she is or looks like!

I told you... she was about 30.

She had brown hair and wore a...

funny hat.

It's all I can remember. If you had

asked me sooner, before all this...

I could have told you more about her!

But now she's...

a complete blank.

There he is!

Why get me up at this hour?

I only work the evening shift!

I'm Inspector Burgess, homicide.

Did you ever see this man before?

To me a face is a face.

Take a good look!

Sit on the same stool.

Come down here.

Try again.

Forget about me!

Look at him!

Gloomy Gus! Some time last night,

wasn't it? - There, you see?

What time last night? - I start at 8.

He came in some time after.

How much after 8? - I don't make

people punch the time clock!

Sometime after 8. - Ask him about her,

she saw the time.

How about the woman that was in here?

What woman?

But I wasn't...

- I'll do the talking!

You sure that wasn't a woman

sitting next to this man?

I'm sure!

She wore a crazy hat!

I've been serving in bars for 30 years.

To me a dame is just another order.

If you remember me, why can't

you remember her?

You were sitting right here! Bring the

dame back and maybe I'll remember her!

But there were only the two of us!

She played the jukebox!

We left here together!

- Alright, alright...

She sat right there! She spoke to you!

- Come on, Henderson.

You must remember her!

- Come on!

Hey, you!

Yeah?

- Is your name Al Alp?

Yeah.

Did you have a haul last night from

Anselmo's Bar to the Casino Theater?

Heck, I picks 'em up and puts them down

so many times during a night that...

Anselmo's to the Casino Theater?

That's about a 45 cent run

on a dry night.

Yeah, I did.

Do you see him here?

I didn't haul no one in that shape

last night! No offense meant.

It was him?

You tell us.
