[...]

- From the bar comes a good-looking young fellow of about thirty-five. Tall casual and worldly-wise...

- He's Nick Charles, a well-known private detective, played by William Powell. And he's waiting for his charming wife Nora, played by Myrna Loy.

- As he takes his place at the table, a young girl on the other side of the room recognizes him and hurries over.

- I beg your pardon, aren't you Mr. Nick Charles? The detective?

- I am. Yes, I'm Nick Charles.

- I thought I recognized you. My name is Dorothy Wynant.

- Thank you.

- Dorothy Wynant. I'm Clyde Wynant's daughter.
