There's one thing you learn working as a private detective.
People will do the darnedest thing.
The case in point, I give you Alan Crane.
He's the young man hiding in the underbrush in the New Jersey Palisades.
For an hour, he stands there motionless.
And only when he hears a car blow up does he make his presence known.
That's your choice? Who's your straight darling? Lady Godiva? I wish you wouldn't ask that, lady.
Oh, don't be a scoop.
Get in.
You won't follow it out here, will you?
Stop acting like a child.
I'm sorry.
Sometimes I wonder that I ever saw a man like you.
You
know I'm crazy about you.
Listen, Joyce.
Stop it, Alan.
I want to talk to you about something.
Why
don't we talk about your husband now?
Why do you think I asked you to meet me after you? Well, I thought that you...
You couldn't have.
Otherwise, you would have realized I wouldn't take a chance.
Now, Alan, listen to me.
I think I finally found a rainbow.
