The elevator boy heard you.

It wasn't a quarrel

Rusty never liked him.

Jealous? You think Rusty

might have killed him?

- Why?

- He was in love with you to, right?

For a policeman, you certainly spent

a lot of time thinking about love.

I'm the romantic type.

You're left-handed?

Is this visit social

or professional?

You gave the doctor the lemon

drops with your right hand.

I was born left handed.

Must thing I do right handed.

I didn't liked being left handed.

The killer was right-handed.

- What am I supposed to say to that?

- I'm just waiting and see.

- If you don't mind...

- We'll break the alibi.

It might take time, but...

I like you to leave.

I'd like go to bed.

You and...

So that's it!

My sister... Ruth.

Why didn't you tell me?

Excuse me.

I was going to when the time came.

- Everybody knows it.

- Not at the Medical Building.

No.

That was so we could take

days of if we wanted to.

You make a habit of

that monkey business?

All twins do now and again.

So you're Terry... and you, Ruth.

- It relieves me!

- That's nice.

I thought I was losing me marbles.

People often confuse us.

So I see. Which one was

at the park last night?

- One of us.

- That I know.

Which one is what I asked.

You... or you?

I know you're stalling because I will

get it out you one way or another.

How?

You don't want to make it

any tougher than it is.

So let's have it: Which

did which last night?

One was in Jefferson Park.

The other went to bed early.

But how can that one prove that?

And that's all we got to say.

Were you in Jefferson Park?

Are you going to answer me or not.

I'm not!

You'll only making trouble for yourselves.

It'll be harder in the end.

Because you can't get

away with it. It's...

Will you cut this nonsense

out and be sensible?

A man was murdered.

I give you one more chance.

Let's see if we can get somewhere.

Which one stayed here last night?

One of us went to Jefferson Park.

The other...

But what one do which?

Which one did which?

I'll just have to run you both in.

Are you aloud to play

the field like that?

What?

Can you throw a number of people in the

court and tell the judge to take his pick.

No lawyer would take you seriously.

What lawyer?

The one that will come

to the police station

if we are not here to

answer the phone tonight.

- You're smart, aren't you.

- Not dump.

Do you know about

obstructing justice?

Don't you like to reconsider?

Me...? Or her...?

Will you tell me one thing?

One of us...

Will you cut that out!

- Is there no way to tell you apart?

- We are identical.

It's all right dear, he is

not going to do anything.

- You think so?

- No I don't.

I know what our rights
