When Connie, Dingle and Pendergast all showed up at FBI headquarters to offer denials, Connie's betrothed, self-centered beau felt scandalized by the situation (that Joe was cohabitating in an apartment with his fiancee).In anguish and almost dead, Alice was losing he struggle with Freddy.At the same time, Yvonne broke through he brick wall, located Amanda covered by a nun's white habit and kneeling on the floor, and touched her shoulder to release her spirit.When Bottleneck's Sheriff Keogh (Joe King) hears Claggett's tale ("Why that low-down skunk sucked me into betting my ranch and cattle and then switched cards on me"), he intervenes on Claggett's behalf: "I've been waiting a long time to catch up with that tin-horn.Mulwray:...I've never hired you to do anything, certainly not to spy on my husband.I see you like publicity, Mr.Gittes.Well, you're going to get it.Gittes: Now wait a minute, Mrs.Mulwray.I think there's been some misunderstanding here.There's no point in gettin' tough with me.Mrs.Mulwray:I don't get tough with anyone, Mr.Gittes.My lawyer does.Befuddled, the cocky detective is determined to conduct further snooping and figure out the why's and how's of his own predicament.I'll pay you as much as he will.You won't gain anything by giving me away, as long I'm willing o make it worth your while.I've got to get to New York without being stopped.It's terribly important to me." Again, Peter berates her as a spoiled brat:You know, I had you pegged right from the jump.Just a spoiled brat of a rich father.The only way you get anything is to buy it, isn't it? You're in a jam and all you can think of is your money.
