going to give you this.

We found this

is Relia's room.

I'll look this over later. I'm

releasing this bellhop into your custody.

He's not to leave this hotel. But

Mr. Melton said I have to get out.

You'll remain as a guest

of the State. A guest?

They pay for everything? Ha!

If you get a chance,

come up and see me sometime.

Thank you.

Good-bye.

Oh.

Excuse me.

Oh-oh. Just a moment,

dear. It's all right.

- Will you bring the phone

over here, please?

Hello!

Yes?

Of course.

I'd be delighted.

Thank you.

We're gonna

have a guest.

Casey, I want you to order

me peasant on the half shell.

Also order me crepes

tied around Suzette...

and my special order of caviar

with bologna on the side.

You're a guest of the State, but don't

you think you're carrying this too far?

California is a big state. If it

was Rhode Island, it'd be different.

$8.55,

Mr. Phillips.

Can you spell "California"? Certainly!

Sign the check, please. And

put a big tip on for everybody.

Oh, thank you very much. You're

welcome! You're welcome! You're welcome!

Good-bye now!

See you tomorrow!

You won't be here tomorrow. Yes, I will.

Wait'll Inspector Wellman sees

the report I have on Michael Relia.

You will be just an ordinary

little bellhop again.

I don't intend to be a

bellhop anymore. Mm-hmm.

Furthermore, I have a date

with Angela Gordon. I...

Ha! That good-lookin'

dame made a date with you?

Yes.

I don't believe it.

Angela.

My Angela.

Ha-ha! Please.

Come in, darling.

Darling?

Here's your suit.

Angela, huh?

Angela! Oh, am I intruding?

No, but he is!

Hmm-hmm!

Angela. Won't you sit down, Freddie?

I think so.

Over there?

Mmm.

Sit down?

Please.

Gee, you're pretty. I bet

you say that to all the girls.

Yes. It don't go over so good

with the boys. You're sweet.

To think that they suspect you of

murdering Strickland. It's ridiculous.

If they give me the gas chamber, they're

hangin' the wrong man, and they'll be sorry.

Have you any idea who

the real murderer is? Yes.

Who?

The culprit.

But who is the culprit?

Well?

The murderer.

Casey has to find out only one thing

before he can put him in jail. What's that?

If he did it.

Who?

The culprit.

Who is the culprit?

The murderer!

Don't you understand?

If you could prove who did it, you'll

be a hero, and I just adore heroes.

Get him to sign a confession. Who?

The murderer. Who's the murderer?

The culprit! Don't you understand? Yes!

If I get the murderer to sign a

confession, that'll prove I'm innocent!

Why couldn't I think of

something like that?

Ooh, if I only had a pencil and

paper, you know what I would do...

Thank you. I'll dictate, you write.
