Glad you've been here, Blackie.
Happy?
Well, not that I can remember.
I haven't seen the Inspector in a week.
You know, I think I'm on his hate parade.
Oh, you'll be seeing him, Blackie.
The boy just tipped me off that he's after you for lifting a string of pearls from the Gordon jewelry shop this afternoon.
Well, isn't that nice?
I didn't take them, Shorty.
I know, but that ain't going to stop Faraday from trying to pin it on you.
Oh, he does that from force of habit.
By the way, I left my watch to be fixed at Gordon's this noon.
Oh, that's probably what gave Faraday his big idea.
Yes, and you say a string of pearls is missing, huh?
That's what the man said.
Shorty.
I saw one of the clerks put a string of pearls in her handbag just before she went to lunch.
No kidding, boss?
