The first 190 lines.
Once upon a time, [here were three beautiful girls.
Two of them graduated from the police academy.
The other graduated from a top school for models.
And they each reaped the rewards
of their exciting careers.
But I took them away from all that and now they work for me.
My name is Charlie.
Is this okay?
Very good, Miss Mills.
Oh, I really enjoy seeing you move in that manner.
You know, you're a very pretty girl.
I said that the first time I saw you.
Six months ago, I said to myself,
"There's a very pretty girl."
Ah.
Oh, I'm so glad I was able to get back to the city again.
And to see you again.
How's this?
I have so many pressing problems at home.
Doesn't everyone?
I look forward to these moments.
Is this okay?
Would you, uh, move a little to the left, please?
Turn a little more.
That's good. That's good.
Name is Jody. Jody Mills.
All right, who is she
and why are we looking for her?
Well, she's from Nebraska and she works,
or she worked at the Woodman Modeling Agency here.
As a model?
That's right.
Her father apparently has lost touch with her
so he wants us to go over there tonight,
see if she's still associated with Woodman.
Just the three of us on this one, 803?
I guess so,
in that Tiffany's decided to stay east for a while.
Now, here is a picture of her friend named Terry.
And this is her roommate, Julie Rogers.
Here's a picture of the head of the agency, Dale Woodman.
I'll get it.
Hmm, Jody's roommate, Terry, is very pretty.
Townsend Agency.
So is her roommate, Julie Rogers.
Okay.
All right, Charlie. I understand.
No, no, no problem.
I'll check with you in the morning.
Hmm.
Red flag on the play.
What do you mean?
Our client, Jody Mills' father
has decided to come to LA. personally.
We'll meet him here in the morning.
Well, I can go home and wash my hair
and you can keep your nose in your Hawaii brochure
like you've done all week.
I can't help it.
I'm just dying to hit that beach in Waikiki.
Pity.
Dale Woodman looks like a very elegant fellow.
I think the Jefferson account will be through by Tuesday.
Hey, Terry.
What are you doing here, Terry?
I've come to the party, Mr. Woodman.
You were not invited to this party.
I used to be invited to all the parties, Mr. Woodman.
Go home, Terry. I don't wanna go home.
What are you doing? Let's go.
Right.
Okay. Bye.
Jimmy Joy?
Yeah.
Hi, I'm Julie.
Well, good for you.
Heh, listen, my friend, Jody, asked me to find you.
Jody?
Jody Mills.
Come on, you know Jody Mills.
Well, if you say so, I must, right?
Right.
Anyway, she, uh, asked me to get some stuff for her.
Stuff, what, heh, sort of stuff?
Look, I'm not in the mood to play games
with your type, Jimmy Joy.
Now, you got a cute act and real flash title.
I bet you even cut a wide swath in the street,
but you know what? I'm not impressed.
I'm just doing a favor for a friend.
So, uh, take the green,
give me the snort and let me get out of here.
Hey, such tough talk from such a pretty mouth.
Hey, come on. I'm in a hurry.
It's been along day.
Well,
a man's gotta be careful nowadays,
right?
Sure, I'll bet.
I don't wanna go home.
Did you find that Jimmy Joy character?
I found him.
He's still doing business here?
Mm-hm.
I'm gonna look for Jody Mills.
I think she's working the home show.
Stay in touch.
Okay. See you.
Hi, Julie. Hi.
You wanna learn how to cook in a microwave?
I'm not into cooking.
Oh, how are you gonna feed your husband when you get married?
I'll send out.
Oh, now, he'll get tired of that.
So much for the marriage, heh.
Have you seen Lloyd Marx?
Mm-hm, they're over there.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Hey, Julie baby.
What are you doing down here?
Slumming.
And it's Miss Rogers to you.
My, we're a snotty broad, ain't we?
Eddie, "we're" indicates plural.
"A snotty broad" indicates the singular.
You're mixing your subjects.
Also, I'm not a broad.
And if you call me that one more time
I'm gonna come down on you
like a house of bricks, understand?
So much for the pleasantries.
What do you want?
I'm looking for Jody Mills.
Either of you seen her?
Yeah, I've seen her.
Not at your place.
Yeah, she's working there tonight.
What's wrong with my place?
Mostly it's that you hang around there, Eddie.
I seem to have captured you, so there's no need to continue.
Shall we step outside?
Outside?
Yes.
Do you mind?
Heh, why?
Oh, I just think we should.
Come.
I'll give you your money.
Well,
I guess this is the end of it.
Okay, so, what do you want?
Hey, hey, what are you doing?
What is the matter with you? What--?
[JODY SCREAMS THEN CAT MEOWS]
Is Jody Mills here or not?
Maybe she is.
Maybe she isn't. Who's asking?
I'm asking.
So who are you?
Miss Mills is my roommate.
I've got something I've gotta deliver to her.
She needs it quick. Get my drift?
She and her photographer were in the first room
but I think I heard somebody leave.
Some of our clients don't want to walk out the front door,
if you know what I mean.
I'll bet.
Mr. Mills, of course,
we would do everything we could to help you.
But you know the police will be looking very hard
to find your daughter's killer.
Yes, that's what they just told me.
We're all very sorry
we didn't try to find your daughter last night.
It's not your fault.
I told Mr. Townsend to hold off till I got here this morning.
Mr. Mills, if the police are involved,
why do you still wanna hire us?
Well, I'm only a Nebraska wheat farmer.
I don't know much about the big city
but I've got a feeling
if the police don't find who killed Jody
they'll forget
and she'll just become a statistic in the files.
Well, I can't let that happen.
I wanna know who killed my girl.
And I wanna know why she died with drugs in her body.
Can you understand that?
Yeah, we can understand.
