The Ghost Breakers Page #4

Well... it's been

nice knowing you.

Hey, Gerty, Frenchy Duval

just phoned Lawrence...

How long will you be?

Our train leaves in an hour.

We'll make it. I have to run

in here and see Frenchy Duval.

Frenchy Duval?

Yeah.

Nothing to be afraid of.

He's an old friend.

He wants to see me before

I start my vacation.

Did he hear your broadcast

tonight? Certainly he did.

Just a minute, Mr. Larry. Huh?

I expect you better

take this with you.

Yeah, I think...

Oh, no, thanks, Alex.

I don't imagine I'll need

it. Frenchy wouldn't dare.

Or would he?

I mean, to a pal?

Don't be silly.

Am I a man or mice?

Give me that. Park the car

and come up to room 1409.

I'll expect to see you

in five minutes.

I hope you get

your expects.

Which way is 1409? End of

the hall and turn to the left.

Don't go far away. I wouldn't

want to go down without you.

Hello.

- Is that you?

- No, it's not me.

I'm sorry, I was expecting

someone else to pass. Oh, I'm glad.

Perfectly safe,

public place like this.

Courage, Camille.

So you thought you'd

get away with it.

Do you mind if I come in?

What is this? Don't talk

and especially don't scream.

If there's going to be any hysterics

around here, I'll have them.

Put it down, sister.

And stand still.

If this is another attempt to

scare me into selling the island...

Lady, I'm not buying an

island, I'm headed for one.

Oh, pardon me.

Say, you're terrified,

aren't you?

And a little sick, too. I don't mind

dying, but I hate the preliminaries.

Put down that gun. The way you're

shaking, you might shoot somebody.

That's the trouble, I just did. Oh!

I feel the same way

about it myself.

I think my blood is running

the wrong way, if it's running.

Who'd you shoot?

I have no idea.

Is it murder to kill a perfect

stranger? Why'd you shoot him?

He was shooting at me.

Isn't that self-defense?

Lady, when you kill one of

Frenchy Duval's men, it's suicide.

You wouldn't be Ramon

Mederos, would you?

No, my name is Lawrence. Lawrence what?

Lawrence.

Lawrence Lawrence.

Yeah, and my middle name

is Lawrence, too.

My folks had no imagination.

May I?

Lawrence?

Not Cronin Coffee Lawrence?

Yeah. Good to the last flop.

Oh! Will you

come to see me on visitors' day?

What's the excitement, mister?

Unknown man shot on the 14th floor.

He ain't unknown to me!

What do you know about this?

I know all about it. But really,

I do. Just a minute, lady.

I was in my room...

I heard the shot...

Quiet, everybody!

Quiet, please.

You'll all have

a chance to talk later.

Where were you when you heard the

two shots? In my room, reading.

I heard a woman scream.

That was me.

When I opened the door

I found this poor fellow.
