The Thin Man Page #4

That's all right. Sit down, won't you?

- What are you drinking?|- Nothing, thanks.

That's a mistake.

I wanted to see you. What's Mimi up to?

Dorothy's mother.

- Does she have to be up to something?|- She usually is.

Trying one way or another|to get money out of Wynant.

I wanted to find out|if you were sleuthing for her.

- I haven't been a detective for four years.|- Is that so?

My wife's father died|and left her a narrow gauge railway...

...and a lumber mill and...

Several other things.|I'm taking care of them.

Say, what's the fuss about? Is he in hiding?

You know as much about it as I do.|I haven't seen him in three months.

No word at all?

He sends word through his secretary,|Julia Wolf, when he wants money.

I give it to her and she gives it to him.

That's still on?

Excuse me.

Hello?

Just a minute.

For you.

Is there a Mr. MacCaulay in the house?

Pardon me.

Yes? Just a moment.

My wife.

- How do you do?|- How do you do?

What were you saying?

He is? Well, where is he now?

Very well.

Excuse us.

He's back in town. Wynant.

Yes. He's waiting for me now.

Forgive me, Mrs. Charles,|but I've been so upset.

You know,|it's no joke working for a man like that...

Well, I guess I'd better be off.

- Good-bye.|- Good-bye.

Good-bye.

- Merry Christmas.|- Same to you.

The next person that says|Merry Christmas to me, I'll kill him!

I'm going to telephone that poor child.

At least she'll be glad to know|that he's alive.

Asta.

Hello?

How are you?

I'm Mrs. Jorgensen now.

Dorothy? No, she isn't here.|Is it something about her father?

Perhaps I can take the message.

Here she is now.

Hello.

I just wanted to relieve your mind.

He's alive and he's all right.

Thank goodness!

- What is it? Has he found him?|- Do you know where he's living?

At least I'm glad he's all right.

Thank you for calling. Good-bye.

- What is it? What is it?|- Nothing.

That's not true. It's about your father.|Where is he?

- He's all right, isn't that enough?|- No.

You want money|you haven't any right to any more.

- You got a big settlement.|- That's gone long ago. I've got to find him!

Where is he?

I won't have you hounding him|for more money!

- I can tell you.|- You were listening on the extension again!

Of course. What's an extension for?

That's right, Gilbert.|Tell Mother. What did he say?

Father's in town.|He's been seeing Julia right along.

- That woman!|- She can tell you.

You couldn't. You wouldn't go to her.

I didn't say I would,|but we've got to have money.

Did it ever occur to you|that Chris might work?

Now you've hurt his feelings.

You know, you have an Oedipus complex|and you won't admit it.

- Please, Gilbert.|- Your trouble is you won't face facts.
