Oh, I bet that that name you gave me that something you do with it. I could tell when she came in here that she was going to be... The Marchua's neo-Nese bone. Huh?

Uh, date July 24, 1949, to him, is Daphne Arlington, from Samuel Spade, San Francisco License Number 137596, subject to tears of night, dear Daphne. I hope this will clear up a few things in your mind.

3:07I hope it'll let you know how you got where you are and what happened to put you there. It all has an illogical beginning, middle, and end. At three, yesterday afternoon, my loyal secretary and confidant, Miss Effie Perrine, a doll, who has been rehearsing a cockney play for television, flowing up in my office door and said, And this mind me, Jason, to see Mr. Spade. I said, to me, Miss Mamie Gagan, looked everything the name implied, from her lately blonde head, or a genuine alligator shoes. I might add, she weighed in at approximately 160, and was in very good position. You spade? I am here. Sit on, please. Daphne, don't you believe me? I hate dumb shoes, they all stink. Uh, something in your background. Perhaps as a girl, I'm just assuming that you were one. Oh, dumb shoes are no-seed. I talk too much. That's why I don't like them here. For me? Who else, stupid? Oh, then it says, uh, pay to the order of Samuel Spade, $100, signed Mamie Gagan, co-signed Johnny McCaw. All right, is it good? You wise, guy, or something sure is good on the treasure, get your hands.

4:08In this weather? We gonna go see Johnny. McCaw. Yeah. Uh, why are we gonna see Johnny? Johnny wants you should do something for him. Oh, what does Johnny want I should do for him? Come on, Spade, what's the matter with you? He'll tell you. I just love to hear you talk, ma'am. That's all. Oh, it's Daphne, get in this no-where. The boss is waiting. Gumshoes talk too much. Yes, ma'am. Well, maybe we do, but ours is a lonely profession. Mamie let me do a large Cadillac parking in the no parking zone. She tore the ticket up and ate it. We got in and tried through traffic towards Berlin gate. About a half a mile this side of the main highway we turned off the left. And pretty soon we were winding up a private road or a final colonial mansion. There were three private patrolmen regarding the entrance. They all needed shade. They kind of nodded as we went up the front door. Naturally enough, it didn't open, but a peep-shutter did. Yeah. Me, Philly. That's the private keeper of the boss wants us to see. Open up. Okay. How are you feeling, Mr. Philly?

5:08It's cool, it's cool. All kinds of folks around. This way, Spade. Oh, that's... Mamie, I got your peepers. Okay. Inside. Here he is, Johnny Platt feet in all his name, Spade. I know, I know, I know. I picked him myself. Go on, beautiful. I hate to come to you. I don't mind, Mamie. She's kind of bitter. Yes, she is. We did a lousy job on our hairlice time. It's all streaky. Yeah, I know that. Place it out. Nice place, Johnny. Nice place. How's the gross? Oh, I know his good is running bare, but, them days are gone. I do all right. Two craft tables, two ferro gains, a little roulette in the living room. But I have to be careful. You seem to have plenty of muscle outside to keep it safe and comfy. Yeah, punks all of them. But, the best I can get nowadays, no good gunsells left. Guess they all got man-settle down at some. All right, Johnny. It's cool and it's nice out here. You make a living and I got to check for $100. Why? Well, in my line, I don't generally have much use for a private eye. I don't generally like them. You, there's Mamie. But I can use them right now. Have you ever seen this before?

6:09No. Well, it's a little bit of necklace. Nice, let's get it. All of them. Here's a knight or something. It was quite a chunk of Getus. These four diamonds are good stuff. They named Daphne Olligan left it here a week ago, and she went in for a plunger through a left table. She left it for a standby, as she raised the cash. Oh, it's a screwy, dang. You know, I would have had a lot of money. Boyfriend named Lenny Eppich, he painted them. Well, she sent me a check today for the 5G she lost, and I just wanted to take this thing back to her. That all? Yeah, that's all. I got my dough, she gets a necklace. You're a licensed bonder investigator, insured, safe with you. I couldn't trust any of my punks with it, and I don't like to be seen in public, so you just take it back. It's all very simple. Now that you've told me how simple it is, of course, you get me the unexplicated sequel. Did her check bounce? Yep. All right. You got a drink? There wasn't any check, Sam. She called me a couple hours ago, and said if I didn't have this thing back home by tonight, she'd call a load of cops and come out here and tear the joint apart.

7:09Not such a screwy damn at that. You're stuck. You're telling me. If she comes with cop, I'm closed for season. I'm getting old. Oh, you're not old, John. Ah, Phoebe was running the table. I didn't know he'd taken this thing for security until we counted up. Stupid Phoebe. I should have pushed his machine in something. Letting a day like that make us a setup. Well, maybe you'll do better next time. Oh, ain't gonna be no next time, Spade. Well, here's your address. Here's the ice. Just take it to an out-chalking up to experience. Better get yourself a new boy at that table, Johnny. You telling me. You telling me. Well, uh... Bye. No, please. No, please. No, please. Lenny, I thought you'd never get here. The performance began today, 30, and you know how the traffic is. Never going to have a bike to eat. You ought, Lenny. Where's Lenny? I don't know, Miss Olly. Then I'm supposed to deliver some jewelry. jewelry? That will be Marchus. Marchus. Marchus? Uh, yes, but I...

8:09Well, looking at. You're throat. Really? Well, really, Mr. Mrs. Spade, Samson. So, really, Mr. Spade? I'm only waiting for Lenny to get here, so we can make the first curtain of StreetCon. We're going to be late if he doesn't get here. You can understand that, Mr. Spade. You're going to be a little early. StreetCon doesn't open until Monday. And already, and he hasn't shown up. Well, good night, Mr. Spade. Hey. The white arm and cape you were wearing and the black strap was turned later to touch. But you had it. A diamond necklace. In fact, the tears of night, the same one I had in my pocket, Daphne, was hanging around your lovely neck. I rebuzzed your buzzer and knocked on your door for quite a while until it was quite evident that you were not going to open up. Under the hallway light, I snapped over the necklace case. Mortuous, you would say. And mortuous was what had said, stamp inside the case. A gloomy word with a gloomy address. The white hotel on Turk Street.

9:16Eh, Hannibal Mortuous. That your service, sir. If ever man had the look of death, that was this one who had its name. He was older than old. Cadavris, and in his skull-like head his eyes were white. He was wearing a flannel night shirt. He was a friend of the Abbey, he was disposed with Mr. Spade. And the Turk at the desk, he did with a matter of jewelry. Therefore Hannibal Mortuous is at your service. Now then, sir, what is so urgent? I came to ask you about a diamond necklace. I found your name stamp on the inside. House of Mortuous was respected in the England Diamonds, as well as all the lapidelia, most respected. Find yours in the name mortuous, as anonymous, the world over. I am the last to fall, sudden, said the world, but would continue to say. Well, I just want you to take a look at this. And how do you come in possession of the tears of knights?

10:18Well, a man named Johnny McCall, or as a gambling club, hired me to deliver it to a lady named Zafni Arlington. She lost her at the toilet table. She left the band, and she could raise the cash. Diplorative, floral condor, and her thought. Definitely Arlington, moved and discreet young lady to be sure to be sure. I recall the way you were there when her late husband, Sydney, ordered this necklace. A lovely body propelled by a ridiculous mine. For shame such conduct, a gambling house that tears of knights upon. Well, this is rare, am I, that doesn't funny? Mr. Spade, I am a gemologist. The house of mortuous, of course, it's real. Thank a good luck. And an artist creates a dazzling thing of beauty such as this. Would he be so unlikely as to forget that I am the patient's the agon of his creation? See, oh, each stone is carefully mounted to capture every single pin point of light. An incomparable masterpiece and an incredible money. How much money? A little wholesale market, about 10,000. He paid 25, but he had it, as I say, incomparable.

11:19Yeah. Yeah, while I saw another one just like it tonight. Real ridiculous. The finest workman is best could only create a crude resemblance. This kind of work demands an artist, a renautist. But tell me, a lot of young people say about that. Oh, my second year of life and the scam. Sneak in the glass and something wrong. Something wrong, yeah. You were concerned for the safety of this piece. I have a small safe in my room. You may have the key if you care. I'll take it with me. Thank you, Mr. Marjoral. My pleasure, Mr. Spade. Open the amorous bodhim of Oka Tez. All speak well of mortuous, of puddings of it. Good evening. In the Dismaravi of the White Hotel, I asked the nightclub to some wrapping paper in 20 cents where the stamps. It was a hunch plus the fact that outside in the street, I spotted two of Johnny McCalls unshaved gorillas. They were looking up at the front of the building. Mr. Marjoral's must have switched off his light or something because their eyes suddenly dropped and I saw them separate

12:20when I need sight at the front door. With shoulders carefully hunched, I stepped out into the lungs and light. I hoped they would think I was carrying my 38, which I was not. They didn't. Is the people candy you want to ask them for match? Candy's nish, I did. That's too bad. Hey, my nish. Got a match, Spade. No, that's a close. Candy asked if you got a match. He's a dummy, Candy. He don't answer. Got a match, Spade. What did I tell you? He's a dummy. He don't look like Nordami. He's a dummy, all right? Interspade. She's a dummy, Candy. I told him about you being nish, I didn't answer. You don't talk. Go on, smart boy. Tell him how sorry you are about him being nish, I didn't. I told you he was a dummy, Candy. All private eyes like you. Candy asked you a question. He wants to know if all private eyes is like you. I don't like Nordami.

13:20We asked questions and he ain't told us nothing. That makes him a dummy. Maybe we find out something if we went through his pockets. Yeah, even a dummy's got pockets. Ain't that right, dummy? Hold him, Candy. All right, boys, you played the scene real good, and I'll see what I can do for you. Hey, you talk. Yeah. Make him talk again, Candy. Make him talk bigger, Candy. Bigger. Bigger. He talks real nice, but he don't see much. Think maybe he's tough, right? Yeah, maybe. Hold him up. I'll see. He ain't so tough. Now I wasn't. I didn't feel like talking on that quiet little straight that he only knew I was my face pounding on that fist. I didn't have the necklace anymore, but they had to find out the hard way.

15:41And now back to the tears of nightcaver. Tonight's adventure with Sam Spade. I remember trying to wake up a couple of times. I was dreaming that we were driving along in a giant Cadillac. Big Manny was sitting on my lap. She was eating a diamond necklace and spitting out cherry pits which Mr. Nortuous grabbed looked at through his jewelers glass and tossed it in the left wheel. Then we had a blow out in a whole car vanish with everybody screaming, the Mortuous, the Mortuous. Somewhere around 7 am I began to get a feeling. Several feelings and all of them hurt. I had been dumped on the grass in a fairly nice neighborhood. In your neighborhood as a matter of fact, that means. And five minutes later I was climbing the steps to your apartment. I thought maybe you'd let me wash my face in your bathroom. Also you've seen the logical window question since nothing else made sense.

16:45You were sitting in a large chair. The drapes were drawn, the door was slightly open. And only the life and the hall was seat in. You had the phone in your lap. The receiver was off. My guess was right. You were looking at nothing. Oh, Mr. Spade, it's you. You came back. You've been in an accident. I don't think you'll read this. Oh, well then Mr. Spade. Well then, I suppose you've met some people tonight and know a great deal about me. A gambler, Julie. Did they tell you about many efforts? He's really a deer, Mr. Spade. Quite the nice before I met him, Sydney was killed in that horrible, horrible deal accident. Sydney and I had so many things together. I do think he enjoyed being alive, wasn't he? I cried when Sydney was killed. I really did. I cried.

17:47You saw me doing that. I didn't know what to do. I cried. Whether that was three years ago, but now I have learned it. It's really a deer. I do think that Lenny will be a very prominent artist someday. I do. Lenny asked me to marry him tonight. He did? I've been very lonely since Sydney died. Lenny isn't interested in my money. Lenny has money of his own. What? What? What? I'm telling the justice to my mom. Did that ever happen to you, Mr. Spade? Sometimes, yes. But perhaps I should see a correctionist. I'm glad you came back again. I didn't know you were a detective at first time. Who told you? What? Mr. McCall. Lenny? Lenny? I really can't understand, Manny.

18:49Please, Mr. Spade. I know it must be strange to you. Look at the money. For some people, they're poor. For some people, they're poor. Please, please, Manny. We can't get anything coming. Look, look. It looks so funny. So, very funny. I think I'm counting money. So much money. And I thought I really believe it. That is all I know. I'll be lucky for you. We're pointing at something across the dark and blue. It's up to ten seconds to find the light switch. Spreads down on your floor. They look funny, all right? Candy and Ernest. Both of them as dead as you can get. Hello, darling. Darling, darling. I've been waiting all night. I knew you'd telephone and give you your answer. I knew you'd marry me. Your name, Lenny, Effet.

19:49Well, yes, but I was expecting it. My name's Spade. I'm a private investigator. I'm calling from her apartment. Pathless. Now, listen. There's been a couple of murders here. Murderous. She's had quite a jolt. I'm a private investigator. I'm a private investigator. I'm a private investigator. Murderous. She's had quite a jolt. She's going to need you and all the help she can get to bring her out of it. I've called homicide and it might be pretty rough for her. I'll be right over. Bring a doctor. Right. And a lawyer. I'm afraid she'll lead one of those two. I've got a good one. We'll be there. Thanks, Mr. Spade. He showed up about the same time the crew from homicide got there. If the answer is a good guy, he talked fast and urgently as to the doctor and lawyer he brought with him. And through their combined efforts, you will remove not the police headquarters, but the private hospital in which you are now a patient. It was obvious from the powder test that you could not have fired the 45, which ended the lives of candy and earnest. It was also obvious that the murders have been done elsewhere. But who had done them were men to be saved. I've been expecting you to come in, sir.

20:50I've been amusing myself with your chest boards. Sit down, sit down. You had a hectic night. Your boys were pretty rough. And a candy and earnest. Two men of another world, Mr. Spade, not a whole world. I don't mean to apologize for that, heck. I want more than an apology, Mr. Marche was. And if that's my gun and it looks like it has got a hair trigger. And if you'll pardon me for saying so, your hands are a little shaky. I underestimated you, Spade. Such an ingenious method of protecting the tears of night. Why, sir, by the simple excuse of placing it in an envelope and building it to yourself? From my hotel, Lava, you hired as guardians the entire United States Postal Service not to mention the armed forces. Thanks. What happens now? We wait for the meal. Just tell me where I'm wrong with you, Mr. Marche was. McCall wanted me to get caught whether he didn't know it was real. You'd made a phony form. Only a fawn out it wasn't phony when I came to Europe Place. Then there was a double cross. If you can bear my vanity, I have invented a new word. Triple cross. It has a ridden to it, isn't it?

21:50Oh. Including Mamie, huh? Mamie and her friends have invented very valuable to me, but I must necessarily exclude them from sharing the profits. Mamie, my cloth candy and earnest. A bet is by the laughs to the helps of Marche. You plan on them in the daffness place? Mamie and I. A crude touch I thought was it had a purpose. I happen to know that Mrs. Arlington has for a long time, you know, the verge of a nervous breakdown with two cadavers and her leaving you. She was very unlikely to discuss a book with necklace with the police. And I doubt very much if she knew she was wearing the original or the imitation. Flighty girl. That's the laziest thing the house of Marche was ever did. She walked in and found it. If you would merely return the real necklace to her, it would have been simple to make an exchange, and none of this would have been necessary. I know, I know, I know. You just sit here and wait for the mail. We wait for the mail. What about your other appointment? I'm afraid I'll be sought for a murderer or two or three this night. Mamie. She got it, so?

22:50Yes. Where are the police going to find her? My hotel room, which I departed hastily once the room clocked and formed. We'll be able to do a genius method for protecting the necklace. I shot her there. You were cheap. Cheap, sir. I don't understand. A $10,000 necklace? It's not quite a king's ransom, you know. The tears of night have worth five times. I'm afraid I misinformed you as to that value. I didn't want you to become suspicious. You are a really horrible, terrifying old man. I suppose you think you'll get away with it. I don't intend to get away with it. And old man, yes. But I intend to spend my remaining years. I'll pick you up before you get to the airport. I doubt it. I shall turn the tears of night into cash. And with the well-ledged purse, I shall guarantee to elude the police over half the world. Two years, I have three days to get me. But I'll spend the money. And we have a visitor. I shouldn't spend. I do shoot well. I'm sure it's a little away. I'll be right beside you.

23:50All right. Open it. One side's paid. I got a gun. Obviously, me. I thought I'd find you here waiting for the mail. You dirty. You didn't do such a good job on me. Caution, my dear. I have a gun, too. Everybody but me. I can ride fly enough to reach the heavens. Not so good, my dear. Your loss of blood has made you grobby. But still, it's good enough. Well, for it. It was almost a thorough finish. I kind of leaned into the wall with a pain and a maize lock on his face. Only seen the pride of walk. Well, it's pain. It's a speedster. I believe I've been shot. I don't need a little assistant. I can't seem to hold my feet, sir. I can't seem to hold my feet. I can't seem to hold my feet. It was an awkward plan at best. The more you see the bolder space. Or if your second year, Latin escapes your memory.

24:52Speak well today. Very good, Anna report. All those people. Four and all. And that poor girl, Dad, me. How do you know if that went your way? How do you know if that went your way? Oh, thank you. Yeah, that was pretty bad. You poor darling. Well, that's a bad time. And you go right home. In fact, I am going to take you home. Yeah, then what? Well. You are a regidious nurse, maybe. Well, I know. Go tight that up. I am completely well. And when you return, we shall indian rassles. Certainly, sir. And now, listen to this. Shopping notes. Tonight or tomorrow. Get a family-sized bottle or handy tube of wildroot cream oil. America's favorite hair tonic. Oh, nice. Good night, Frank. Good night, sweetheart. The adventure of Sam Spade.
