“Is there a slip up baby? Did you by any chance send your friend up...” – Jeff, Out of the Past ... Movie Quotes Database

Jeff

Is there a slip up baby? Did you by any chance send your friend up there to find Eels dead?

Kathie

No Jeff.

Jeff

Tell me. Tell me.

Kathie

Don't Jeff.

Jeff

Don't what?

Kathie

I don't want to die.

Jeff

Neither do I baby, but if I have to, I'm going to die last. Something slipped up, didn't it? They told you they were gonna knock him off, and they haven't done it, have they? They haven't because I tipped him off. He blew.

Kathie

He's all right?

Jeff

Didn't you want him to be?

Kathie

Yes, yes, because if he died, they'll say you did it.

Jeff

You're wonderful Kathie. You're magnificent. You can change sides so smoothly.

Kathie

Don't Jeff. You're hurting me.
