Lucy Hamilton:
Mr. Shayne?

Michael Shayne:
That's right.

Lucy Hamilton:
The employment agency sent me. My, we do need help.

Michael Shayne:
Well, sit down, Miss...

Lucy Hamilton:
Lucy. Lucy Carr.

Michael Shayne:
Lucy, huh.

Lucy Hamilton:
I do hope the job isn't taken.

Michael Shayne:
Well, as a matter of fact, it isn't. You, ah, take shorthand, I suppose.

Lucy Hamilton:
A hundred and twenty words a minute.

Michael Shayne:
Well now, that's refreshing. And typing?

Lucy Hamilton:
Eighty five words a minute. I typed my thesis at the university. It's titled, "The Criminal Potential in Our Complex Age". I have it right here.

Michael Shayne:
Oh, I'll take your word for it, Lucy.

Lucy Hamilton:
I'm really very interested in crime and all its aspects, Mr. Shayne.

Michael Shayne:
Well, I'm sure you are, Lucy, but, ah, you see in this business, we sometimes see, well, the seamy side of life. Some of the people we bump into aren't, ah, well, they're not always quite so... nice.

Lucy Hamilton:
I know what you're thinking, Mr. Shayne. You're thinking I'm very young. I'm really not. I know people, Mr. Shayne. I studied sociology and I read the Kinsey Report!

Michael Shayne:
Well, Lucy, with a background like that, how could I say, "No".
