tired, and realised I was ageing.
'Maybe it was the rotten weather
we'd had,
'or the rotten cases I'd had -
mostly chasing missing husbands
'and then their wives
once I'd found them, to get paid.
'Or maybe it was just the plain fact
that I am tired and growing old.
'The only real pleasure
I'd had at all
'was following Joe DiMaggio
of the New York Yankees.
'Well, it's the middle of July now
and things are worse than in spring.
'In the spring, I wasn't holed up in
a dingy hotel ducking the police.'
Hello.
Let me have Richmond 4421, please.
Lieutenant Nulty, please.
Nulty!
I'm at the Casa Marina, room 502.
Is Moose there?
Come alone.
- And I said come alone.
Two more murders.
That's a total of seven.
Casa Marina.
He asked me to come alone.
That's not a good idea.
Now, you understand why
we want him brought in, don't you?
Yes, Commissioner.
Good.
Wait here.
- How long?
- Until you make Lieutenant.
(Police siren )
(Knocking)
- Yeah?
- It's Snow White.
- With or without the dwarfs?
- Without.
Come on in.
Malloy with you?
Relax. There's nowhere
he could hide, under the bed or...
This case has busted wide open
and you're the patsy.
- I wanna tell you...
- It won't change anything.
You gonna listen or aren't you?
Sit down, will you?
Sit down!
I was working on a $25-a-day breeze,
looking for a 15-year-old runaway
from Carmel -
an honours student, majoring in men.
She had all ''A's'',
none of them on a report card.
She had only one other interest -
dancing.
# It seems to me
I've heard that song before
# It's from an old familiar score
# I know it well...
# It's funny how a theme
recalls a favourite dream
# A dream...#
You know, you remind me of Harry.
You're very much like Harry.
The same type - strong and silent.
I used to dance
with Harry like this.
I may not be the most
beautiful girl...
but I could make a man as happy...
Really upset when it ended,
but I got over it.
- What did you say your name was?
- Harry.
My parents sent you, didn't they?
I'm not going.
Look, do you want to dance your way
out, walk out, or be carried out?
Makes no difference to me.
(Tram bells)
(Music continues in distance )
Do you realise
to drive here
from Carmel to get you?
Can't you settle that on the way?
There's the matter of $25
plus $5 in expenses.
Pay him, Charles.
And give him a tip.
I don't accept tips
for finding kids.
Pets, yes -
$5 for dogs, $10 for elephants...
Thank you.
Get in the car.
(Thump and groan )
Next time she runs away,
get somebody else.
(Deep sigh)
'I was tryin' to stabilise
below the belt
'when this guy the size of the
Statue of Liberty walks up to me.'
What are you, a cop?
No, I'm your fairy godmother.
'I started to walk away...'
Private dick, huh?
'when a hand I could have sat in
took hold of my shoulder.'
What's your name?
Marlowe, what's yours?
- Moose Malloy.
- Get down!
'He didn't bat an eye.
Fear wasn't built into his frame.'
I want you to work for me.
You want me to find the guys
who were tryin' to shoot you?
I want you to find my Velma.
I ain't seen her in seven years.
She ain't wrote in six.
Where the hell have you been
for seven years?
In the can.
The Great Bend bank robbery?
Eighty grand?
I did it solo.
Ain't that somethin'?
Yeah.
I want you to find my Velma.
Look, man,
that's a long time not to hear.
- She'll have a reason.
- Sure.
Why the hell
were they shootin' at you?
