Indirectly related to my previous post - regarding Brigid as a confidence trickster. Do we believe in the "love" she professed for Spade? Given everything that had gone before, I felt firmly convinced it was a sham to try and get Spade to let her go. Given Spade's reaction, I got the impression he believed the same thing.
It's the boy-who-cried-wolf problem. Once someone shows they are a liar and a cheat, how can they prove when they decide to tell the truth? Especially, as in this case, when the supposed "truth" is so obviously in their own best interest.
