- We're at the Hotel Belvedere.
- Spade marches in, picks up a phone, and demands to speak to Joel Cairo.
- He hangs up the phone when a man reading a newspaper catches his eye.
- Spade sits down next to the man. It's the young man who had been following him.
- Spade asks where Cairo is, and the young man tells him to "shove off."
- So he shoves off, but not very far. He gets a man named Luke to come over and scare the kid off.
- The kid says, "I won't forget you guys," but Spade doesn't care. He blows smoke in the guy's face.
- Cairo returns to the hotel and Spade intercepts him.
- But Cairo doesn't want to talk to him.
- Cairo says the cops interrogated him, but he repeated the silly story Spade cooked up the night before.
- Spade leaves him to get some sleep.
