Fog Over Frisco Page #3

lately and I want to help her.

I'm going down to the journal and give

those reporters a piece of my mind.

We're trying to trace

some stolen securities...

- ... said to be floating around.

- We'll inform you immediately...

- ... if anything suspicious occurs.

- Yeah, but we got orders to make...

- ... that third checkup here.

- Having a very conservative clientele,...

...we naturally take the greatest

precautions to protect it. Just a moment.

Carlton, will you come

into my office a moment?

All right, I'll be there

just as soon as I can.

Really, I was anxious about

you last night, darling.

I'm perfectly fit, thanks.

Frightfully worried.

Arlene, you... havent

started that again...

Now, don't start moralizing.

I swore I'd never touch a

stolen bond again and I mean it.

I've been going crazy to get rid

of all this stuff in the vault now.

Truly, sweetheart, I

was forced into this.

That's what you told me two years

ago when you first started this.

Arlene, you tricked me time and

time again and I won't stand for it.

- Honestly, this is the end.

- Oh, that's what you said so many times.

Darling, you've got to help me

this time, 'cause I'm in a jam.

Arlene, how did you get tangled

up in this racket anyway?

Well, I went into it with my eyes open.

You can't imagine the terrific thrill

out of walking around under the nose...

...of the police carrying hundreds of

thousands of dollars worth the blute.

Do you realize what you're saying?

Well, it's all over now,

we're going to be married.

Arlene, you return those bonds.

No, I gave my word of

honour I'd get rid of them.

Oh, you gave your word of honour. Well,

that's easy, you're in the clear,...

they can't touch you. I'll be

the one who'll take the blame.

Spencer, don't be such a child.

And another thing: I've made personal

aid for you over eight hundred thousand...

...dollars in the market and what have

you done with it? You've hidden it from me.

I've told you I'm putting it

away in a safe place for my dowry.

Should certainly satisfy you

Be a good boy and write me

out a check for fifty thousand

A. B Bouchard usual.

Good morning, Mr. Bradford. It is very

good to see you again, Sir, we missed you.

It's good to get back occasionally, Jim.

- Do be careful, darling.

- Don't worry, dearest.

Val, I had nothing to do with this.

Your attitude towards life and

people is cheap and cynical.

Honestly, Val, you got me all wrong.

It must have been Archie Van Ness.

It sounds like him,

he saw you at Bello's.

Don't put the blame on

anyone else. I know reporters.

They put their papers above

everything fine and decent.

I'm terribly disappointed in you.
