Jason 'Jake' Rogers : [enters] Hi. Anna? Anna? Anna! *Anna!*
Anna Reeves : What's the matter? Oh, I fell asleep.
[throws her arms around his neck, and kisses him]
Anna Reeves : You're early. Hey, you're shaking.
Jason 'Jake' Rogers : No, look what I have.
[holds up two bottles of champagne]
Anna Reeves : [snickers] For a whole year?
Jason 'Jake' Rogers : No, for tonight.
[sits down on chair]
Anna Reeves : You've got the jitters.
[kneels down next to him on floor]
Anna Reeves : Was it bad at home?
Jason 'Jake' Rogers : No, no worse. Like always.
[smashes the neck off one of the bottles on the nearest piece of furniture, and as she tries to clean up:]
Jason 'Jake' Rogers : I can't take much more of it. Now, how many times did I say that?
Anna Reeves : Every Saturday night.
[smiles]
Jason 'Jake' Rogers : [Anna pours a drink, takes a sip, then hands it to him, he takes a sip, then puts the drink out of the way] You're the only woman I ever knew who never has to talk. First thing I ever noticed about you. Even when you were a little girl.
[Anna gives a vague smile]
Jason 'Jake' Rogers : I got a present for you.
[takes a little box out of his pocket, hands it to her, and she sits there looking at it]
Jason 'Jake' Rogers : Well, open it, darling.
Anna Reeves : [obviously expensive earrings] How much did they cost?
[raises her eyebrows]
Anna Reeves : Hmm? $500?
[Jake smirks, then chuckles]
Anna Reeves : 800, 900?
Jason 'Jake' Rogers : Why do you have to know? 2000.
Anna Reeves : Jake, where am I gonna wear 'em? You keep giving me things like that. They're just gonna sit in my lousy room
[throws them at Jake]
Anna Reeves : in a rotten drawer and I'll stare at 'em!
Jason 'Jake' Rogers : [sits down next to her] I didn't marry first, Anna, you did. I didn't marry first, you did!
[cups her face]
Anna Reeves : Oh, Jake, I heard you. Come on, stop talking foolish. Stop talking anything.
[kisses him]

Sheriff Calder : Anna? Where's Bubber?
Anna Reeves : Well, Lester just came by to see me, Calder. You see, we've known each other since we were kids, and sometimes when he's broke...
[to Jake:]
Anna Reeves : I'm gonna go home and get it.
Sheriff Calder : [grabs microphone] Slim... Anna Reeves and Jake Rogers are on their way out here. And I want you to get on their tail and stay on it till I tell you to quit.
[puts down the mic]
Sheriff Calder : You don't have a chance of meeting Bubber, Anna. Not a chance. Where is he?
Anna Reeves : I don't talk to sheriffs, Calder. You oughta know that.
Sheriff Calder : [approaches] Do you know that a fellow was murdered up in Siddonsville today, and Bubber's being accused of it?
Anna Reeves : Bubba never murdered anybody!
Sheriff Calder : [nods] I don't believe he would either, but his fingerprints are all over the body. It'd be a whole lot better if he came in here voluntarily.
Anna Reeves : And be punished for something he didn't do?
