Mr. Templer. Yes, Dugan? You ever think much about life? Oh, not being a bartender like yourself, I haven't had the time. I don't mind admitting off and on I've given it a little thought.

Or uh take the blonde sitting over there. Hmm, all right, I'll take the blonde. Know who she is? Maddy North. Used to be in musical comedy.
Oh, I can see why, even at this distance. She sings too. I wouldn't have thought it necessary.
However, uh about my drink. So what happens? She makes big door. Then she gets palsy with Joe Maxon. At that time, a small punk. But with her dough, he works himself up where he's now owning the biggest gambling giant this side of the Kifaver committee. So now he is a big shot, and what happens? He won't even buy her a drink. Great. What don't want to know her anymore. Don't even give her a door back. You know something? Yes, I'm thirsty. She could kill him as easy as swatting a flight. Dugan, whom do you have to know around here to get a drink? Huh? Oh Always kidding, Mr. Templar. Here yeah. Say, I I'd better get around to the other customers.

Who won the ration? Nothing strange about the whole thing. You mean
she don't rassle fair? That dizzy spell, she cut over it in a few seconds, walked out of here with no difficulty. Perfectly straight.
How does the bartender Dugan first describe the mysterious blonde, Maddy North?
She must have had some reason for
Only two reasons Dame's got for leaning against a guy. The other one is they want to pick his pockets. Pick it. I'll be That's
what she did? In a way, but what she stole wasn't money, it was my revolver.
Taxi, taxi. All you gotta do is this. With her away, Mr. Templet. With her. Hey, how did you know my name? Louis told me. He also told me I should take good care of you should you ever step afoot into my camp. Well, my name is Eddie, and uh where would you like the wither?
Well, I'm very glad to know you, Eddie. Do you know where Joe Maxon's establishment is? Yeah, sure. Good.

a blonde just leaned against me, Eddie. Oh, that's bad? She did it in
order to steal my gun. That's bad,
yeah.
But that don't explain why you're going to Maxon's. You think that uh maybe she swiped the gun to give it to him? I'm afraid it wasn't a gun she
