A scene from To Have and Have Not 1945
Slim

Hello.

Morgan

Let's have it.

Slim

What do you want?

Morgan

Johnson's wallet.

Slim

What?

Morgan

Come on.

Slim

What are you talking about? Hey mister, what's got into you? [He takes her by the arm into his across-the-corridor room, and locks the door behind him] What do you think you're gonna do?

Morgan

I'm gonna get that wallet, Slim.

Slim

I'd rather you wouldn't call me Slim. I'm a little too skinny to take it kindly.

Morgan

Quit the baby talk. Which is it?

Slim

You know, Steve, I wouldn't put it past you. I didn't know you were a hotel detective. [She pulls the wallet from inside her checkered suit and hands it over]

Morgan

Johnson's my client.

Slim

He doesn't speak so well of you.

Morgan

He's still my client. You oughta pick on somebody to steal from that doesn't owe me money.

Slim

He dropped it and I picked it up.

Morgan

And you were gonna give it back to him, of course.

Slim

No, no I wasn't. I don't like him.

Morgan

That's a pretty good reason.

Slim

Besides, I need boat fare to get out of Martinique.
