I am prepared to pay five thousand dollars for the figure's return. Do you have it? No....
Something wrong with the clip?

Joel Cairo:
I am prepared to pay five thousand dollars for the figure's return. Do you have it?
Sam Spade:
No.
Joel Cairo:
But if it isn't here, why did you risk serious injury to prevent my searching for it?
Sam Spade:
Why should I sit around here and let people come in and stick me up?
Joel Cairo:
But certainly it is only natural that I try to save the owner such a considerable expense if possible.

00:00:03.165 --> 00:00:04.075
- You have it?
- No.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.251
If it isn't here...
00:00:07.335 --> 00:00:10.038
...why did you risk serious injury
to prevent my searching?
00:00:10.463 --> 00:00:13.548
Why should I sit here
and let people come in and stick me up?
00:00:13.632 --> 00:00:16.884
Certainly it is only natural
that I try to save the owner...
00:00:16.968 --> 00:00:19.999
...such a considerable expense if possible.
00:00:19.178 --> 00:00:20.304
Who is he?
00:00:20.471 --> 00:00:24.001
Mr. Spade, you'll forgive
my not answering that question.
00:00:24.182 --> 00:00:27.726
I think we'd be better off all around
if we'd put our cards on the table.
00:00:27.081 --> 00:00:30.145
No, I do not think it would be better.
00:00:30.853 --> 00:00:35.399
You see, if you know more than I do,
then I shall profit by your knowledge.
00:00:35.732 --> 00:00:38.036
So will you, to the extent of $5,000.
00:00:38.694 --> 00:00:40.987
There's nothing like $5,000 here.
00:00:41.007 --> 00:00:43.781
You want some assurance of my sincerity?
00:00:44.073 --> 00:00:46.282
- A retainer? Would that do?
- It might.
00:00:46.366 --> 00:00:48.368
You will take, say, $100?
00:00:48.576 --> 00:00:50.661
No. I will take, say, $200.
00:00:51.537 --> 00:00:54.998
Your first guess was that I had the bird.
There's nothing to that.
00:00:55.001 --> 00:00:56.499
What's your second guess?
00:00:56.582 --> 00:01:00.669
That you know where it is, or at least
you know it is where you can get it.
00:01:00.752 --> 00:01:03.296
You're not hiring me to do murders
or burglaries...
00:01:03.038 --> 00:01:06.001
...but simply to get it back if possible,
in an honest, lawful way?
00:01:06.001 --> 00:01:08.259
If possible. But...
00:01:08.968 --> 00:01:11.005
...in any case, with discretion.
