Long as you don't serve chicken that way.
Tell me, what do the police say?
They're calling it an accident.
- Who's the investigating officer? - Lou Escobar. He's a lieutenant.
- Do you know him? - Oh, yeah.
Where from?
We used to work together. In Chinatown.
- Would you call him a capable man? - Very.
- Honest? - As far as it goes.
Of course, he has to swim in the same water we all do.
Of course, but you've no reason to think he's bungled the case?
- None. - That's too bad.
- Too bad? - Hmm.
It disturbs me. Makes me think you're taking my daughter for a ride.
Financially speaking, of course.
What are you charging her?
My usual fee, plus a bonus if I get results.
Are you sleeping with her?
Come, come, Mr. Gitts.
You don't have to think about that to remember, do you?
If you want an answer to that question, Mr. Cross,
I'll put one of my men on the job.
- Good afternoon. - Mr. Gitts...
- Gittes. - Gittes.
You're dealing with a disturbed woman who just lost her husband.
I don't want her taken advantage of.
- Sit down. - What for?
You may think you know what you're dealing with,
but believe me, you don't.
Why is that funny?
It's what the District Attorney used to tell me in Chinatown.
Yeah? Was he right?
Exactly what do you know about me? Sit down.
Mainly that you're rich,
and too respectable to want your name in the newspapers.
Of course, I'm respectable. I'm old.
Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores
all get respectable if they last long enough.
