Tasty Mystery Baskets of Clips

Went backwards down the hill, takin' the fence with him, got caught on the rock.

Let's get to a phone booth.

It's tough, him gettin' it like that, ain't it?

I ought to have more than $10,000.

...for over three score years by private owners too stupid...

...exactly how much he knew about Miles' and Thursby's killings...

Should I learn to stutter?

What insurance was she carrying?

Do they have to know?

NOW DON’T OVERDO IT

Let's come in and sit down and be comfortable and talk.

But business should be transacted in a businesslike manner.

I don't care who loves who! I won't play the sap!

Miles Archer dead?

...up a blind alley with his gun and his overcoat buttoned.

But I want you to know he's a dangerous man.

I found a $100 bill in his vest pocket and about $30 in his pants.

How can we turn up anything if you don't tell us what you got?

If we had, Corinne would have told me she was running away with him.

She didn't tell you what it is?

You are a godsend.

Frankly and candidly, upon my word of honor as a gentleman...

It's all upside down! I changed as fast as I could and came over.

He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things.

It never reached Spain.

There are more of us to be taken care of now.

-What makes it so important? -I don't know. They wouldn't tell me.

Now, after 17 years!

That's something I'd expect from someone Wilmer's age.

...and neither formality nor informality justifies you withholding...

Standing like you, with his back to the fence.

Say, my secretary tells me Mr. Bryan wants to see me.

We persuaded, that is the word, sir, we persuaded Miss O'Shaughnessy...

Will you sit down, Mr. Cairo?

Get up and shoot it out!

Young Wild West!

I was curious to know what you'd do in a situation like this.

Let's talk about the black bird.

Are you going to marry lva?

Then in exchange for the $10,000 and Wilmer...

You got away with this and that, but you can't keep it up forever.

Who do you think I shot?

I'm a sworn officer of the law

...that you can use whenever you want to.

Let's see. Shot up here, huh?

-Can't you get some more? -No.

You won't need much of anybody's help. You're good.

All right, precious.

Do you bring me any news?

...it had taken us too long to persuade Miss O'Shaughnessy.

You see, if you know more than I do, then I shall profit by your knowledge.

Come on. He wants to see you.

He couldn't have come far with those holes in him.

Now, get that bundle and bring it here, p.d.q.

I'll make out all right.

See, Mr. Spade, I'm trying to recover...

He told me he'd been standing up under a police grilling. I wonder.

I shall be candid with you, sir.

Maybe the boy outside hasn't gone home yet.

First, answer me a question.

You will clasp your hands together at the back of your neck.

Hello. Sergeant Polhaus there?

Maybe they went down to the ship. Maybe they didn't.

...running around with their noses to the ground.

Spade. S-p-a-d-e.

Well, you've had your talk with Cairo.

You begin well, sir.

This is hopeless! I don't know what you want done...

When you wish to contact me, sir, I'm staying at the Hotel Belvedere...

If you don't want anything, beat it...

Se valiente Se fuerte Lo que puedo decirte hoy!

I do like a man who tells you right out he's lookin' out for himself.

...as a detective to be caught by a man he was shadowing...

Dollars, mind you, not even pounds!

You mean the one you couldn't get to come to--

-Where'd you walk? -Bush Street.

You...you imbecile!

Let's go where we can talk.

What was his name?

The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter, huh?

That's an attitude, sir, that calls for the most delicate judgement on both sides.

Don't be. Nothing very bad's going to happen here.

Not the first one you've spoiled. Anything else?

But he'd have gone up there with you, angel.

Well, boys and girls, we put it over nicely!

Certainly it is only natural that I try to save the owner...

...how's about $15,000 now?
