Movie Dialogue Sample
00:33:42,327 --> 00:33:45,909
Pre-meditated murder by a
psycho, and not his first.
383
00:33:46,121 --> 00:33:47,663
He didn't leave any fingerprints.
384
00:33:47,789 --> 00:33:51,656
So he wore gloves. Anyone who
leaves fingerprints nowadays,
385
00:33:51,751 --> 00:33:53,992
even on his first homicide, can't even read!
386
00:33:54,128 --> 00:33:56,797
You know how much stuff
is written and published
387
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,086
for the instruction of potential lawbreakers?
388
00:33:59,173 --> 00:34:01,213
Take the so-called comic books.
389
00:34:01,300 --> 00:34:03,838
Sold to kids of all
ages, in drugstores and -
390
00:34:08,056 --> 00:34:10,012
Why do you say this killer is young?
391
00:34:10,141 --> 00:34:11,089
The lipstick bit.
392
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,888
There's nothing new about
that. Several years ago -
393
00:34:13,977 --> 00:34:15,601
I know, I know.
394
00:34:15,728 --> 00:34:19,393
What was it? "Catch me,
I can't control myself"?
395
00:34:19,481 --> 00:34:22,054
This one only changed
the lyrics, "Ask mother. "
396
00:34:22,567 --> 00:34:24,394
He's a mama's boy unless I'm mistaken.
397
00:34:24,569 --> 00:34:26,608
Well the message may have been a blind.
398
00:34:27,655 --> 00:34:29,318
I think it's an impertinence.
399
00:34:29,423 --> 00:34:34,569
He's laughing at the police
by leaving clues but no fingerprints.
400
00:34:34,744 --> 00:34:35,906
Keep on talking.
401
00:34:35,995 --> 00:34:38,532
In the old days, before you
were above writing about crime,
402
00:34:38,622 --> 00:34:40,246
you and I used to be pretty good together.
403
00:34:41,958 --> 00:34:44,875
What do you think of the
dresser drawers found open?
404
00:34:45,502 --> 00:34:48,040
We searched the janitor's
room. We didn't find anything.
405
00:34:48,171 --> 00:34:50,080
Of course, we don't know
that anything was stolen.
406
00:34:53,759 --> 00:34:55,418
Kaufman.
407
00:34:56,344 --> 00:34:57,459
Homicide.
408
00:34:58,179 --> 00:35:03,434
Details?
Female... White... 21...
409
00:35:04,330 --> 00:35:09,933
Unmarried...
Schoolteacher... Strangled...
410
00:35:10,063 --> 00:35:11,439
...3 o'clock this morning.
411
00:35:11,565 --> 00:35:14,185
He entered through the bedroom window.
- Oh.
412
00:35:14,275 --> 00:35:15,983
Do we have any lipstick?
- Lipstick?
413
00:35:16,110 --> 00:35:19,027
This joker's much too clever ever
to leave lipstick again, Burt.
414
00:35:24,075 --> 00:35:27,941
She got her hands in his hair. We took a
couple strands from underneath her fingernails.
415
00:35:28,078 --> 00:35:28,991
That's good.
416
00:35:34,083 --> 00:35:37,166
Anything?
- No. He must have used gloves.
417
00:35:47,218 --> 00:35:50,218
He left the book here
deliberately, to laugh at you, Burt.
418
00:35:50,304 --> 00:35:52,629
And every time, he'll leave a different clue.
419
00:35:56,601 --> 00:36:00,016
Look, Sergeant, I've been here
over nine hours and all I've got
420
00:36:00,103 --> 00:36:04,350
is what every other reporter in town has,
a general release on the Felton murder.
421
00:36:07,067 --> 00:36:10,732
Tim, you and I have been
friends for a long time.
422
00:36:12,488 --> 00:36:15,738
I need something special,
something for myself.
423
00:36:16,575 --> 00:36:19,362
Is this case any good against Pilsky?
424
00:36:20,245 --> 00:36:24,028
Pretty good.
- Be specific, Tim. I won't forget you.
425
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,320
Well...
426
00:36:29,168 --> 00:36:31,920
If I was to tell you
why we picked Pilsky up -
427
00:36:32,004 --> 00:36:33,202
Yeah, why, why?
428
00:36:35,048 --> 00:36:38,084
You... you wouldn't say
where you got it, promise?
429
00:36:38,342 --> 00:36:39,006
Promise.
430
00:36:39,427 --> 00:36:42,961
Well, Pilsky's fingerprints
are on the murder weapon.
431
00:36:43,346 --> 00:36:46,762
Oh, thanks, Tim. You won't regret it.
432
00:36:47,892 --> 00:36:53,051
Wait. Wait till I'm out of the office.
433
00:37:07,824 --> 00:37:09,484
Mark Loving, sister, quick.
434
00:37:13,829 --> 00:37:18,289
Mark? I've got the inside
dope on the Felton case.
435
00:37:18,416 --> 00:37:24,536
What? Great work, Gerald!
That's great. Hold the line.
436
00:37:28,216 --> 00:37:32,082
Phone in to Walter Kyne that
I've cracked the Lipstick Case.
437
00:37:34,637 --> 00:37:38,006
Joe, Gerald Meade's on my line, take it.
438
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:41,808
Give me the call on Mr. Loving's line.
439
00:37:47,898 --> 00:37:52,061
Don't give it to the copy desk
- feed it directly to the wire.
440
00:37:55,404 --> 00:37:56,566
Tom!
441
00:38:01,242 --> 00:38:03,281
Good morning.
- 'Morning, Mark.
442
00:38:04,328 --> 00:38:05,786
Want to make a bet?
443
00:38:05,912 --> 00:38:06,742
On what?
444
00:38:07,163 --> 00:38:09,488
On me.
445
00:38:09,790 --> 00:38:11,035
<i>Hold it, Jim.</i>
