Ira Mrs. Schmidt asked me to move out. That place next door to you, is that still empty?

Margo Sperling I don't know, Ira. I don't think I could take it. I mean you just never say anything, for God's sake. It's not fair, 'cause I have to keep up my side of the conversation and your side of the conversation. Yeah, that's it - you just never say anything, for God's sake. I want some feedback from you. I wanna... I wanna know what you think about things... and what you think about me.

Ira Jesus Christ, would it kill you if once in a while you wore a goddamn dress?

Margo Sperling You know what I had to go through to hassle up this dough? I laid off four ounces of pure red Colombian for $15 an ounce. I mean, it's disgusting. Some freak over on Pico thinks I'm Santa Claus, I swear to God. $15 an ounce... $15 an ounce. This grass was so great, I can't tell you. There was so much resin in it, it made your lips stick together.

Margo Sperling I'm gonna' go down to the police station and get a private detective's license. If we teamed up, we'd be great together.

Ira That's just what this town has been waiting for. A broken-down old private eye with a bum leg and a hearing aid, and a fruitcake like you.

Ira [to Lamar] You wanna know somethin', punk? You were born dumb and you're gonna die dumb.

Ira Listen, doll, let's get one thing straight. I'm a loner. I always have been a loner. I was a loner when I was a kid. I was a loner when I was married. Probably why we broke up. I'm by myself now because I like it that way. Nothing personal, but I don't like to talk about it. There's too damn much talk in the world as it is.

[Ira's talking to Margo]

Ira Back in the Forties, this town was crawlin' with dollies like you. Good-lookin' coquettes tryin' their damnedest to act tough as hell. I got news for you: they did it better back then. This town doesn't change - they just push the names around. Same dames... screwin' up their lives just the same way.

Ira Why was, uh, this Escobar blackmailing you?

Laura Birdwell Well, I was seeing this man. We were having an affair.

Ira Your husband didn't know anything about it?

Margo Sperling Does the Pope shit in the woods?

Ira Whoever that guy is, he's no snob about how he kills people. It'a a goddamned .45 he's using.

Laura Birdwell I am going to be totally open and honest with you. I'm going to lay myself naked before you. I hope you can appreciate that.

Margo Sperling He'll try.

Ira One more thing, doll, about my fee... My fee. I get paid $25 a day, plus expenses.

Margo Sperling What's he talking about?

Ira Listen, sweetheart, you're talking to Ira Wells, not some low-rent gumshoe. I'm the best, and I get paid like the best.

Margo Sperling [Ira has doubled over and collapsed from severe stomach pain] Ira, wait a second. We'll get you to the hospital.

Ira I'm not going to any goddamn hospital.

Margo Sperling You gotta' go to the hospital, so they can find out what's wrong with you.

Ira I know what's wrong with me. I got a perforated ulcer. It's starting to bleed again. They get me in the hospital, they'll want to operate.

Margo Sperling Let them. That's better than walking around like this.

Ira I will not go through another goddamn operation.

Margo Sperling Lay back down. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Ira It's my gut. It's my life. I won't let anybody call me a goddamn coward. I went through two operations last year on my gut. Two operations! Do you realize what it's like in a veterans' hospital... lying on your back for six months, with tubes and shit going every which way?

Ira [continues] Maybe I don't have much of a life right now, but it's better than that. But I'll be goddamned if I let those butchers open me up again. Never! I'll blow my brains out first...

Margo Sperling Stop it. Just stop it.

Margo Sperling Boy, it's really lucky for you that I just happen to be a very self-destructive person.

Ira Maybe I'm wrong, but you don't look like you've had a lot of experience handling a.357 magnum.

[Margo has pictures of her cat, Winston, that she wants Ira to find]

Margo Sperling This little kitty is just a little honey bun. Give this little cat a break!

Ira There are a lot of ways to play any game. I play mine on the house percentages.

Ira What about this guy that took your cat?

Margo Sperling Brian Hemphill. He's this guy... he's really sort of a tuna. He just hangs around, you know. And, we used to have this thing going - kind of a... sexual interlude. Never really came to anything.

Margo Sperling [continues] Now, Brian and this friend of his, sometimes they give me money to schlep things up to this guy in Bakersfield.

Ira "Things"? What things?

Margo Sperling You know, "things." Material things. I mean, worldly possessions. Washing machines, TV sets, clock radios... "things."

Ira These things you're telling me about, did it ever cross your mind they might be hot?

Margo Sperling [scoffs] Ha, who's to know? I mean, I'm not by nature a curious person.

Ira I'll bet.

Margo Sperling I mean, go with the flow.

Ira That's what I always say.
