Something wrong with the clip?

Sam Spade:
If you kill me, how are you going get the bird? And if I know you can't afford to kill me, how are you going to scare me into giving it to you?
Kasper Gutman:
Well, sir, there are other means of persuasion besides killing and threatening to kill.
Sam Spade:
Yes, that's... That's true. But, there're none of them any good unless the threat of death is behind them. You see what I mean? If you start something, I'll make it a matter of your having to kill me or call it off.
Kasper Gutman:
That's an attitude, sir, that calls for the most delicate judgment on both sides. Because, as you know, sir, in the heat of action men are likely to forget where their best interests lie and let their emotions carry them away.
Sam Spade:
Then the trick from my angle is to make my play strong enough to tie you up, but not make you mad enough to bump me off against your better judgment.
Kasper Gutman:
By gad, sir, you are a character. There's never any telling what you'll say or do next, except that it's bound to be something astonishing.

If you kill me,
how are you gonna get the bird?
00:00:06.544 --> 00:00:10.381
If I know you can't afford to kill me,
how'll you scare me into giving it to you?
00:00:10.506 --> 00:00:14.593
Sir, there are other means of persuasion
besides killing and threatening to kill.
00:00:14.676 --> 00:00:15.969
Yes, that's...
00:00:17.344 --> 00:00:18.471
That's true.
00:00:20.347 --> 00:00:24.035
But none of them are any good
unless the threat of death is behind them.
00:00:24.434 --> 00:00:25.685
You see what I mean?
00:00:25.081 --> 00:00:30.439
If you start something, I'll make it a matter
of your having to kill me or call it off.
00:00:31.772 --> 00:00:35.984
That's an attitude, sir, that calls for
the most delicate judgement on both sides.
00:00:36.109 --> 00:00:38.032
Because, as you know,
in the heat of action...
00:00:38.403 --> 00:00:41.363
...men are likely to forget where
their best interests lie...
00:00:41.489 --> 00:00:43.741
...and let their emotions carry them away.
00:00:43.866 --> 00:00:47.001
And the trick from my angle is
to make my play strong enough...
00:00:47.202 --> 00:00:50.001
...to tie you up, not make you mad enough
to bump me off...
00:00:50.205 --> 00:00:51.413
...against your better judgement.
00:00:51.538 --> 00:00:53.916
By gad, sir, you are a character.
00:00:59.795 --> 00:01:02.589
They're selling you out, sonny.
00:01:03.215 --> 00:01:05.633
I hope you're not influenced by the guns...
00:01:05.999 --> 00:01:08.001
...these pocket-edition desperadoes
are waving around.
00:01:08.636 --> 00:01:11.804
Because I've practiced taking guns away
from these boys before...
00:01:11.001 --> 00:01:14.001
...so we'll have no trouble there.
00:01:14.557 --> 00:01:15.001
- Wilmer, here-
- All right.
00:01:16.007 --> 00:01:17.996
Wilmer!
00:01:49.001 --> 00:01:50.794
There's our fall guy.
00:01:50.919 --> 00:01:54.999
Either say yes right now
or I'll turn the falcon and all of you in.
00:01:54.172 --> 00:01:55.464
I don't like that, sir.
00:01:55.547 --> 00:01:57.999
Well, you won't like it. Well?
00:02:02.512 --> 00:02:04.994
You can have him.
00:02:05.681 --> 00:02:08.517
I won't be able to get the falcon
till daylight, maybe later.
00:02:08.999 --> 00:02:11.727
It'd be best for us all
if we didn't leave each other's sight...
00:02:11.852 --> 00:02:15.999
...until our business has been transacted.
You have the envelope?
00:02:15.999 --> 00:02:17.482
Miss O'Shaughnessy has it. Hang on to it.
00:02:17.607 --> 00:02:20.001
We won't lose sight of each other.
The dingus'll be brought to us here.
00:02:21.001 --> 00:02:22.999
Excellent, sir, excellent!
00:02:22.999 --> 00:02:24.988
Then in exchange for
the $10,000 and Wilmer...
00:02:25.113 --> 00:02:27.001
...you'll give us the falcon
and an hour or two of grace.
00:02:27.001 --> 00:02:30.999
Now, let's get the details fixed, first.
00:02:30.999 --> 00:02:34.578
Why did he shoot Thursby and why, where
and how did he shoot Captain Jacoby?
00:02:34.001 --> 00:02:38.666
I've got to know all that happened
so the parts that don't fit are covered up.
00:02:38.749 --> 00:02:40.792
I shall be candid with you, sir.
00:02:40.875 --> 00:02:43.013
Thursby was Miss O'Shaughnessy's ally.
00:02:43.001 --> 00:02:45.999
We believed that disposing of him
as we did...
00:02:45.999 --> 00:02:49.001
...would cause Miss O'Shaughnessy to stop
and think that it would be best...
00:02:49.001 --> 00:02:52.999
...to patch up her differences with us
regarding the falcon.
00:02:53.136 --> 00:02:56.002
You didn't try to make a deal
before giving him the works?
00:02:56.001 --> 00:02:58.001
We did. Yes, sir. We most certainly did.
