Phyllis:
Mr. Neff, why don't you drop by tomorrow evening about eight-thirty. He'll be in then. Walter Neff:
Who? Phyllis:
My husband. You were anxious to talk to him weren't you? Walter Neff:
Yeah, I was, but I'm sort of getting over the idea, if you know what I mean. Phyllis:
There's a speed limit in this state, Mr. Neff. Forty-five miles an hour. Walter Neff:
How fast was I going, officer? Phyllis:
I'd say around ninety. Walter Neff:
Suppose you get down off your motorcycle and give me a ticket. Phyllis:
Suppose I let you off with a warning this time. Walter Neff:
Suppose It doesn't take. Phyllis:
Suppose I have to whack you over the knuckles. Walter Neff:
Suppose I bust out crying and put my head on your shoulder. Phyllis:
Suppose you try putting it on my husband's shoulder. Walter Neff:
That tears it

I'd have to drive it around
the block a couple of times.
00:00:03.206 --> 00:00:05.917
Mr. Neff, why don't you drop by
tomorrow evening around 8:30?
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.836
- He'll be in then.
- Who?
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:11.131
My husband. You were anxious
to talk to him, weren't you?
00:00:11.214 --> 00:00:14.134
Yeah, I was, but I'm sort of
getting over the idea...
00:00:14.217 --> 00:00:15.552
if you know what I mean.
00:00:15.635 --> 00:00:19.055
There's a speed limit in this state, Mr.
Neff. 45 miles an hour.
00:00:19.139 --> 00:00:22.392
- How fast was I going, officer?
- I'd say around 90.
00:00:22.725 --> 00:00:25.103
Suppose you get down off your
motorcycle and give me a ticket.
00:00:25.186 --> 00:00:27.397
Suppose I let you off
with a warning this time.
00:00:27.048 --> 00:00:29.019
Suppose it doesn't take.
00:00:29.274 --> 00:00:31.651
Suppose I have to whack you
over the knuckles.
00:00:31.734 --> 00:00:34.612
Suppose I bust out crying and
put my head on your shoulder.
00:00:34.696 --> 00:00:37.824
Suppose you try putting it
on my husband's shoulder.
00:00:37.907 --> 00:00:39.409
That tears it.
00:00:43.705 --> 00:00:47.997
- 8:30 tomorrow evening then.
- That's what I suggested.
00:00:47.125 --> 00:00:49.794
- Will you be here, too?
- I guess so, I usually am.
00:00:49.919 --> 00:00:52.172
Same chair, same perfume, same anklet?
00:00:52.255 --> 00:00:54.299
I wonder if I know what you mean.
00:00:55.003 --> 00:00:57.218
I wonder if you wonder.
00:01:00.889 --> 00:01:03.266
It was a hot afternoon
and I can still remember...
00:01:03.349 --> 00:01:06.001
the smell of honeysuckle
all along that street.
00:01:06.352 --> 00:01:10.565
How could I have known that murder can
sometimes smell like honeysuckle?
00:01:10.648 --> 00:01:11.858
Maybe you would have known, Keyes...
00:01:11.941 --> 00:01:15.001
the minute she mentioned accident
insurance, but I didn't.
00:01:15.999 --> 00:01:17.488
I felt like a million.
00:01:18.999 --> 00:01:21.999
I went back to the office
to see if I had any mail.
00:01:21.999 --> 00:01:24.999
It was the day you had that truck
driver from Inglewood on the carpet.
00:01:24.913 --> 00:01:26.206
Remember, Keyes?
00:01:26.289 --> 00:01:28.666
Mr. Neff, Mr. Keyes wants to see you.
00:01:28.075 --> 00:01:30.627
He's been yelling for you all afternoon.
00:01:30.999 --> 00:01:32.067
Is he sore, or just frothing
at the mouth a little?
00:01:32.754 --> 00:01:34.797
Park this for me, will you, sweetheart?
00:01:39.001 --> 00:01:41.304
- Hello, Walter.
- Hi, George.
00:01:43.389 --> 00:01:44.515
Come on. Come on, Garlopis.
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:46.434
You're not kidding anybody
with that line of bull.
00:01:46.517 --> 00:01:48.001
- You're in a jam and you know it.
- Says you.
00:01:48.645 --> 00:01:50.001
- All I want is my money.
- Says you.
00:01:50.098 --> 00:01:53.608
All you're gonna get
is the cops. Hello, Walter.
00:01:53.733 --> 00:01:56.819
- This is Sam Garlopis from Inglewood.
- Sure, I know Mr. Garlopis.
00:01:56.001 --> 00:01:59.822
Wrote a policy on his truck.
How are you, Mr. Garlopis?
00:01:59.001 --> 00:02:04.016
- I ain't so good. My truck burned down.
- Yeah. Now look, Garlopis.
