Side Street Page #3

- When you expecting? | - Pretty soon.

What'd you do, rob the mails?

- Hello, Mickey. | - Say, Nick, you forgot to turn on your neon.

Thanks.

Won't help business anyhow.

That's why I never got married.

Raising a family makes a guy jumpy.

- I bought a nightgown for Ellen. | - Yeah?

- A present for when the baby comes. | - Uh-huh.

Can you hold it for me for a few days, | maybe a week?

I didn't wanna leave it around the house. | She might find it.

Well, don't leave it too long. | I don't like to be responsible for valuables.

Well, it set me back 3.98.

- I'll pick it up next week. | - Okay.

- Hi, captain. | Any new leads, Walter?

- What about boyfriends? | - We need some pictures.

- You fellas sure decorated this hallway. | - Any...?

- Nothing yet. | Give us a break, will you?

Give us a break, will you, Walter?

Who's your friend?

Oh, why, he was here when we got in. | He howls if you don't hold him.

What have we got so far?

Nothing much. | He takes care of the building.

I'm the superintendent. | In charge of the building management.

She moved in last October. | Quiet tenant, he says.

He took her down last evening | in the elevator about 6, alone.

She wore...?

- Same clothes found on the body. | - Who's she?

Cleaning woman. | - I'm the housekeeper.

Thank you. | We'll talk to you again. You can go now.

Captain, I wish you could do something | about those people outside there.

- It's very bad for the building. | - Just tell them to get out.

- I did. They told me to sweep the floor. | - Tell them who you are.

I will.

- Hey, give us a break. | - Here comes the janitor, fellas.

What else, Stan? | - We're gonna need a lot of precinct men.

- Looks like she knew everyone in New York. | - Find out anything?

Only her character.

Hardly any of this stuff | has even been laundered.

She couldn't wear it all in one lifetime.

- This dame sure got around, captain. | - Gottschalk.

Looks like a miniature who's who.

Take this for Inspector Ferrara, | Fifth District.

I'll need as many detectives | as he can spare.

Maybe he can get them | from the Bronx and Brooklyn, about 50.

And tell them to clear their assignments | through Stanley Simon.

- Give him your shield number to fill in. | - Two-six-one-three-four.

Get started on these right away.

Maybe we can pick up | something from the stoolies.

Right. | - You got anything yet?

No good prints, only smudges.

- How about those photographs? | - Here you are, captain.

Hey, doc.

Doc, give us some dope. Come on.

- You get anything, doc? | - You bet.

You know, she died | pretty soon after dinner.

And a darn good dinner too.

Lamb, eggplant, tomatoes, | onions and garlic.
