Before your time, cowboy. Hey, Ronny! Where they hiding?
Ronny
Upstairs, to the right.
Mid Sixties, he had five or six hits. Got a club down in Fillmore now.
Not now, he don't.
Did you kill Mr. Boz, Miss Tramell?
I'd have to be pretty stupid to write a book about killing and then kill somebody the way I described it in my book. I'd be announcing myself as the killer. I'm not stupid.
Talcott We know you're not stupid, Ms. Tramell
Maybe that’s what you’re counting on to get you off the hook.
Writing the book gives you an alibi.
Yes it does, doesn't it? The answer's no. I didn't kill him.
Would you tell us the nature of your relationship with Mr. Boz?
I had sex with him for about a year and a half. I liked having sex with him. He wasn't afraid of experimenting. I like men like that. Men who give me pleasure. He gave me a lot of pleasure.
You ever engaged in any sadomasochistic activity?
Did you ever tie him up?
No.
You never tied him up.
No Johnny liked to use his hands too much. I like hands and fingers.
You describe a white silk scarf in your book.
I’ve always had a fondness for white silk scarves. they're good are all occasions.
But you said you liked men to use their hands, didn't you?
No, I said I liked Johnny to use his hands. I don’t give any rules, Nick. I go with the flow.
