A scene from The Maltese Falcon 1941

Brigid

You know I never would have placed myself in this position if I didn't trust you completely.

Spade

That again?

Brigid

You know that's true, you know.

Spade

You don't have to trust me so long as you persuade me to trust you. Don't worry about that now. He'll [Cairo] be along any minute.

Brigid

You are a god-send.

Spade

Oh, now don't overdo it.

Cairo And why, if I may ask another question, are you willing to sell it to me? Brigid Because I'm afraid. After what happened to Floyd, I'm afraid to touch it except to turn it over to somebody else. Cairo What exactly did happen to Floyd? Brigid 'The Fat Man.' Cairo This is the second time that you've laid hands on me. Spade When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it! Spade You are a liar. Brigid I am. I've always been a liar. Spade Don't brag about it. Was there any truth at all in that yarn? Brigid Some...not very much...Oh, I'm - I'm so tired, so tired of lying and making up lies, not knowing what is a lie and what's the truth.
