After the Thin Man

Nicky! Nicky!

- What are you doing? - Just practicing, dear.

You have a little slice of throat?

You'd better hurry.

We're getting into San Francisco

in five minutes.

Asta! My best Sunday-go-to-meeting hat!

Dear, oh, dear.

Darling, don't you wanna pack this?

How they can expect a woman

to still have any mystery left for a man

after living in a place like this

for three days, I don't know.

Darling, you don't need mystery.

You've got something much better

something more alluring.

- What? - Me.

You!

It's alright. We're married.

Darling, you've got to pack.

That's right. Right, I must pack, right.

- 'Are you packing, dear?' - Mm-hmm.

Yes, darling, I'm just putting away this liquor.

Ooh.

'If you break that'

'they could sue you.'

Oh, baby, you know

I'm gonna miss this little room of ours.

It's left some lasting impressions on me.

- 'Dear, will you pack this?' - Yes.

Delighted, delighted.

You know, I sort of hate to leave this.

'Oh, don't leave anything.'

Well, are you, uh

you gonna wear this dress, dear?

'No. You can put that in.'

Oh, that's fine. That's fine.

Hey. Hey, there. Nick Charles in this car?

- Two cars back. - Right.

Two cars back.

- Hello, Nick! - Well, how are you?

'Are you going to play detective again?'

That's what we want to know.

I'm through detecting for the rest of my natural life.

Are you gonna keep on with your detective work, Nick?

I've retired, I'm just gonna take care

of my wife's money, so I'll have something in my old age.

You said you'd retire in New York

but I noticed you took that Thin Man case.

'Oh, that Thin Man was a beaut.'

'They're still' talking about it.

Dig us up another Thin Man, will you, Nick?

That was a great case, Nick.

'You'd take a case like that, wouldn't you, Nick?'

No, only took that to please my wife.

- She wants some excitement. - 'Well, I guess she had it!'

Oh, it was wonderful. Two men tried to kill him.

But he's not going to take any more cases.

You can print that.

That's my darling.

Hello, Harold.

Hiya, Harold. I'm glad to see you.

So long, Nick! See you around!

Oh, excuse me, lady.

Hello, Fingers.

Well, Nick, how are you?

How's business?

Oh, I quit that racket.

Nick, Nick, look. My purse is gone.

Oh, darling, isn't that too bad?

Ah, Nora, I want you to know Fingers.

- This is my wife. - Your wife!

'Mm-hmm.'

Gee, I, gee, I didn't know you were married.

Oh, yes-yes, I'm married.

Nick, what will I do? I know I had it.

Oh, don't worry, darling.

It will turn up. Won't it, Fingers?

Well, I-I certainly hope so.

Well, Nick, am I tickled to death to see you.

Good Old Nick. And married, too!

I didn't know you were married.

Oh, yes, yes.

Well, I'm glad I bumped into you.

Well, goodbye, Mrs. Charles.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye, Fingers.

- Come on, dear. - Darling, I just can't go off--

Come on, we don't want to embarrass him.

What are you talking about?

He's a purse snatcher. Think of his feelings.

Well, then, he must have taken it.

So long, Fingers!

- 'So long, Nick!' - There you are, dear.

Dear, you do know the nicest people.

- Hello, Nick! - Hello, Bill! Ha, ha!

Hey, you can start delivering again!

And all the big kegs!

Hello, Nick! Where have you been?

- How are you, boys? - Where have you been, Nick?

Have I been away all my life?

- Have you seen the kid? - No. Where is he?

He's staging a comeback Friday night.

Hey, Screwy, here's Nick Charles!

- Hello, Mr. Charles! - Hello, Nick!

How are you, kid? How's it going?

Never better! Never better!

Say, now I know I can't lose!

You coming to see me fight?

Mrs. Charles would never think of missing one of your fights.

Mrs. Charles! Well, well, did you ever see me fight?

You got a treat, then!

I'm going to cut the guy up in ribbons

if I don't have him bleeding in the first round.

- You'll have him bleeding? - Yeah.

Excuse me, Mrs. Charles.

If my legs will only hold out, I'll kill the guy. I'm gonna--

That-a boy, bump. You'll get him sure.

Give it to him hot!

- Sure! - Okay, Harold!

Oh, hello, Nora!

Oh, hello.

Who's that?

Oh, you wouldn't know them, darling.

They're respectable.

Oh..

Isn't it lovely?

Home. So peaceful. So quiet.

If anybody wakes me up for a week

I'm gonna have the law on them.

Oh, New Year's Eve at home.

Or would you know that this is New Year's?

I know.

Oh. Oh, you got ideas, huh?

Very definite ideas.

I was afraid so.

I'm going to lock the door

plug the bell, cut the telephone

and crawl into bed for a month.

Oh, Nora, you're my favorite woman.

Here, I'm gonna be in bed at midnight

so Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Hey. Come in, come in.

Give me your hat and coat.

Make yourself at home.

It's our house alright.

Let's go in. The man said it was alright.

Yeah.

H-hey, t-the bar's right in here.

- Help yourself. - Thanks.

- Okay. - What's the celebration?

We're giving a surprise party for Nick and Nora.

Oh, Nick and Nora.

Don't you know Nick and Nora?

- No. - Heh!

Neither do I.

That's not gonna spoil my fun.

It's New Year's. What's the odds?

Go on in, fake it. It's a cinch.

- Well, thanks. - Oh.

Go on in and get some of that Napoleon brandy

before it's all gone.

'Now, listen, let's get together on this.'

This is supposed to be a surprise party.

- I'm acting surprised. - Look at us, not bad, huh?

Oh, no, not at all.

How you doing? Anyone wise to you here?

- No. - Huh! What'd I tell you?

May I have this dance?

If I was in a fire on the third floor, would you save me?

It's too late for you to be saved, baby.

No, I mean it. How would you do it?

Well, I'd just pick you up and put you right down there.

Now you save me!

You put her down and you save me.

I'm on the third floor, too!

'Hey, I'll bet you can't do this!'

Watch me. Here I go.

- Oh. - That's not bad.

'Well, when I picked this big lug up, he didn't know a thing.'

I taught him everything he knows.

Hey. Show 'em that new arm lock I taught you.

Okay!

Now show 'em that headlock! This will kill you.

Now, look, show 'em how you throw them out in the aisles.

"Hello, Nick. Hello, Nora.

"Welcome home.

We are tendering this little surprise party for the.."

Well, you can't go through the kitchen! We're busy!

Hey, where will I put this ice?

Oh, lay it down and don't bother!

Put it in the sink and break it up.

- Where's the oil? - There isn't any more!

Where do you want these?

Over here, son! Right down there!

After that come back from the store with some olive oil!

- Oh! - Oh, my toast!

Oh, I'll take care of that.

Leave that alone!

Oh, Mr. Charles! Mr. Charles!
