Mrs. Mulwray
Tell me, Mr. Gittes: Does this often happen to you?
Gittes
What's that?
Mrs. Mulwray
Well, I'm judging only on the basis of one afternoon and an evening, but, uh, if this is how you go about your work, I'd say you'd be lucky to, uh, get through a whole day.
Gittes
Actually, this hasn't happened to me for a long time.
Mrs. Mulwray
When was the last time?
Gittes
Why?
Mrs. Mulwray
It's an innocent question.
Gittes
In Chinatown.
Mrs. Mulwray
What were you doing there?
Gittes
Working for the District Attorney.
Mrs. Mulwray
Doing what?
Gittes
As little as possible.
Mrs. Mulwray
The District Attorney gives his men advice like that?
Gittes
They do in Chinatown.
