she's fine.
i am. are you soliciting for police charities? the last time, you people called at my office.
i was here, hosting a party. who was killed and why do you think i can help?
i don't know him. mr.
you know i do or you wouldn't be here. how did you find me?
of course.
fine, philip. thank you.
he no longer works for me. find susan's killer, mr. white. i'll give you a handsome reward. whatever you desire.
against your code?
do you care about criminal matters peripheral to susan's murder?
then you wouldn't feel obligated to report them?
then listen closely, because i'll only say this once and if it gets repeated, i'll deny it. i run call girls. lynn bracken is one of them and so was susan lefferts. i treat my girls very well. i have grown daughters, myself, and i don't like the thought of women being hurt. i sense you share this feeling.
i think she'd been hit in the face with a tennis racket. she is -- was -- a big doubles fan.
wait. our deal still holds?
i needed a rita hayworth to fill out my little studio.
there's gardner, hepburn, grable, turner. lynn bracken is my veronica lake. i use girls who look like movie stars. sometimes i employ a plastic surgeon.
no, mr. white. pierce morehouse patchett. now, i sense you're on your best behavior, but that's all i'll give you. if you persist, i'll meet you with my attorney. now, would you like miss bracken's address? i doubt she knows anything, but --
of course.  this is personal with you, isn't it, mr. white?
i believe the nite owl's your area of expertise, mr. exley. i saw you on television getting your medal. and you're that other celebrity hollywood policeman, aren't you?
i'll tell you what i told officer white when he asked me about susan's death.
for the last time. i may suborn women into illicit activities, but they're handsomely compensated, i treat them well and make sure the men they deal with show them every due respect.
a vulgar term, but yes.
lynn bracken.
why do men and women usually see each other?
no.
then try talking to my lawyer. good evening, gentlemen.
