Good. What's her name?

There's no smoking here, sir...

Forget it, Spocko. It's a Red State.

I'm at Glendale and Douglas.

We don't publish a record in the paper, I can tell you that.

I had no idea...

from the city's reservoirs,

I'll have my secretary draw up the papers.

- You know me, Jake. - Yeah.

Actually, I came to see your husband, Mrs. Mulwray.

Not that Mulwray?

Do you remember the last time you saw Mulwray?

I didn't come in to see you on my own.

Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?

Mrs. Evelyn Mulwray.

- Well, you're in luck, Mr. Yelburton. - How's that?

No, Mr. Gittes.

Mr. Yelburton will be busy for some time.

When a wife tells me that she's happy that her husband is cheating on her,

- I never was. - I don't understand.

Chief Engineer?

Then it was over the Water Department.

I thought you hired a private investigator.

There is something that I should tell you about.

Mrs. Mulwray, may I present Mr. Gittes?

Now, where's the girl?

- said to his friend, "What do I do?" - An honest living, you understand?

He wouldn't tell me her name.

you're gonna need a pair of them!

"You're screwing just like a Chinaman!"

Lieutenant Escobar.

- What the hell are you talking about? - Come on. I'll show you.

Sophie, draw up one of our standard contracts for Mrs. Mulwray.

So some contractor wants to build a dam,

It disturbs me. Makes me think you're taking my daughter for a ride.

I'll see he's careful with the matches and doesn't burn himself.

"Mrs. Mulwray no home." Well, I'll just have a look around, huh?

Here. Let me...

He says, "What do the Chinese do?"

Only when you breathe.

I let them practice up out here.

Everything you can see. Everything around us.

The future, Mr. Gittes!

I ended up making sure that she was hurt.

- None. - That's too bad.

is a fair price to pay to keep the desert from our streets

Let me explain something to you, Walsh.

Fools' names and fools' faces.

- Where's that? - Off the alley.

Katherine, get in the car.

Thanks for coming.

Well, to tell you the truth, I lied a little.

Somebody slam a bedroom window on it?

Yelburton says there's irrigation in the Valley,

By the way, what does this "C" stand for?

they're capable of anything.

Let's face it, Jake, you're practically a movie star.

They're in Echo Park in a rowboat. A rowboat!

Mainly that you're rich,

The one your husband opposed. They're conning L.A. into building it.

Anyway, this guy who got tired of screwing his wife

You were jealous. You had a fight. He fell. He hit his head.

So the guy says, "Why don't you do what the Chinese do?"

just wait. Wait for me here.

Forget it Jake. it’s Ark Nova.

Of course I'm sure.

- I am your grandfather, my dear. - Come, miss.

Who the hell do you think you're dealing with, a bunch of assholes?

Lou, let's swear out a warrant for her arrest.

- What is it, Sophie? - A Miss Sessions is calling.

Yeah? Was he right?

We got water out of him. He drowned!

This business requires a certain amount of finesse.

On the sidewalk!

- Then these are all new owners? - That's right.

Thought I'd drop by and see who dropped dead lately.

they're liable to be having dinner with the judge who's trying the suit.

Perhaps if we met with your father.

Wait in the office for me about two hours.

Oh, stop it, The money's fine. It's generous.

It's what the District Attorney used to tell me in Chinatown.

Tell me something.

Then what do you do?

or something like that. Makes it more exciting.

Just drive slow for a block or two, will you, Curly?

This broad hired you, not Evelyn Mulwray.

So his friend says to him,

I want to know more about you.

To me, it was just bad luck.

Hold it there, kitty-cat! Hold it!

Just if you'll confine yourself to the main building.

with all this business in the papers about Mr. Mulwray.

Not only that, but I wouldn't extort a nickel from my worst enemy, Escobar.

Jesus. That's in Chinatown, ain't it?

You got a hell of a way to make a living.

- We got it! - What?

- You're holding her against her will. - I am not!

Forget it, Sean. It’s Garbertown.

Summer colds are the worst....
