coat from you for $30.

There's a guy out there I don't

want to deal with right now.

You understand what I'm saying?

Yeah, I dig that, but it's

gonna cost you 50 bucks.

Look, all I've got is... is 47.

Except, um, I'm gonna need

$5 for the bus, okay?

$40? I'll give you $40 for that.

Okay, so you'll owe me 10.

Here.

( Men chattering )

( change clanking )

How you doin'?

( Distant siren wailing )

I want a squad car

outside her house.

- I want you to check the bus station.

- Yes, sir.

Train station and the airport.

Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Benton,

but I can't give you that much

money without prior notice.

See, it's almost 3:30.

If you come back tomorrow...

How much can you give me

right now?

Uh, I guess

we could manage $15,000.

That'll be fine.

I'm Margaret Mason.

They're good, aren't they?

This is my gallery.

Are you interested in prices?

They start at 20,000... the small pieces.

The larger...

I want that one.

Okay.

( Distant siren wailing )

Can I take care

of that for you, Milo?

Yeah, here.

Be careful with it, Frankie.

Uh, yeah. I got it, okay.

I'm sorry, Milo.

You think you can find the girl?

Probably.

( Pay phone dinging )

( propeller spinning )

Margaret?

Yeah, it's me, Anne.

Look, you have to go

to my house and get Frida, okay?

I can't talk to you now. I'll try and

get a hold of you later, all right?

Bye.

Man:
"Killing is unavoidable",

"but is nothing to be

proud of." ( laughing )

Milo, try one of these.

Havanas... they're the best.

I don't smoke.

Greek.

Thanks, boss.

( Sniffs )

Would you bring me up to date?

Man:
Well, the problem is

she got away from the cops.

If they hadn't let her slip,

she'd be... how shall I put it?

Dead... that's how she'd be.

She'd be dead.

The stupid cops, you know.

I understand there was

another opportunity.

We got her boyfriend.

( Iaughing ) That kills me.

( Iaughing )

Mr. Avoca talk to you

about my extending my franchise?

Yeah, how much

did this thing cost?

When are you gonna smarten up?

That's an investment.

When the broad dies,

the price goes through the roof.

- Eh!

- Never learn.

Anything... anything you want.

All I want is information.

How cold is the trail?

30 hours. 30 f***ing hours.

I think we should stop

and go get some food.

I hate Carelli, man. I hate him.

Aren't you hungry? Have you

ever been to In-N-Out Burger?

There's something... there's something

we haven't thought of yet.

Can't think on an empty stomach.

How do we find her?

Carelli:
Hey, Milo,

what do you think?

Huh? They got a view.

They got the bay.

They got an upstairs.

You find me that rag,

take care of her for me,

I can get you a f***ing boat.
