'But what I'd like to know is—what I'd like to know... Where you goin' to get the money to hire all those detectives?'
'Where'm I going to get the money to pay you if you win the suit?'
Though Charlie came back with, 'Oh, I'll win the suit all right, all right!' this was clearly a facer. He added, pondering, 'I guess Munson'll manage to attach anything you've got.' But he was at sea. 'Fine dirty idea o' yours, hounding a decent man, with detectives.' And finally, 'Well, what do you want?'
'Listen! S'pose you did win. You'd never get ten thousand.'
'I'd get five.'
'No, you wouldn't. Why don't you act sensible and tell me what you'll take to stop it.'
'I'd have to think that over.'
'You tell me now or I'll bust this town open.'
'No good talking that way, Henry. Can you get any money?'
'Tell you for sure in twenty-four hours.'
