Jake Gittes:
Mulvihlll, what are you doing here?
Mulvihill:
They shut my water off, what's it to you?
Jake Gittes:
How'd you find out? You don't drink it, you don't take a bath in it, maybe they sent you a letter. Ah, but then you'd have to be able to read. Relax, Mulvihill, glad to see you.
Jake Gittes:
[to YELBURTON]
Do you know Claude Mulvihill here?
Yelburton:
I hope so. He's working for us.
Jake Gittes:
Doing what?
Yelburton:
Well frankly, there's been some threats to blow up the city reservoirs.
Jake Gittes:
Any particular reason?
Yelburton:
Well, it's this darn drought. We've had to ration water in the valley and the farmers are desperate. But what can we do? The city needs drinking water.
Jake Gittes:
Well, you're in luck, Mr. Yelburton.
Yelburton:
How's that?
Jake Gittes:
When Mulvihill here was sheriff of Ventura County the rum runners landed hundreds of tons of booze on the beach and never lost a drop. He ought a be able to hold on to your water for ya.
