Lisa Gets Arrested at Thorwald's, Explained：louse up something
Lisa broke into Thorwald's apartment and got caught, and Jeff is trying to fix it by phone: bail money on one line, the detective on the other. What he really sells Doyle is the evidence she walked out with: "Like Mrs. Thorwald's wedding ring. That's like what." A ring left behind, he argues, means the wife is not alive.
あらすじ
Lisa sneaks into Thorwald's apartment for evidence and gets arrested. Jeff scrambles: he sends Stella for his wallet to post bail, then phones Doyle and tells him Lisa came out with proof — Mrs. Thorwald's wedding ring. If the wife were alive, he argues, she would be wearing it. Doyle agrees to run the ring down.

What's really going on
The scene is a comic scramble with a serious point underneath. Lisa has done what nobody else would: walked into the suspect's apartment and come out with hard evidence. Jeff, meanwhile, is stuck in a chair, reduced to phone calls and small change. His own line names what she pulled off — "She went in to get evidence and she came out with evidence" — and the ring is the proof: "If that woman was alive, she'd be wearing that ring." Doyle's skepticism is finally cracking, but not because of the ring alone; Jeff has also noticed the buried garden, the night trips with a metal case, and the long-distance calls. The humour comes from the contrast: the man who cannot walk is the one piecing the case together, while the police detective keeps saying he will run it down.

Well, unless he's dumber than I think he is, he won't wait until his lease is up.Jeff predicts Thorwald will flee before his lease ends. It's a bet on the killer's intelligence and guilt.
If that woman was alive, she'd be wearing that ring. Right?Jeff's logic in one sentence: a living wife would keep her wedding ring, so the ring being left behind means she is dead.
Like Mrs. Thorwald's wedding ring. That's like what.Jeff answers Doyle's sarcastic 'like what?' with the actual evidence, repeating the question as a punchline.
She went in to get evidence and she came out with evidence.Jeff's summary of Lisa's break-in: she risked arrest and succeeded, which shames both him and the police.
このシーンについての質問
Why was Lisa arrested?
She broke into Thorwald's apartment to look for evidence and he came home. Jeff called the police to get her out safely, so she was taken in and needed bail.
What evidence did Lisa find?
Mrs. Thorwald's wedding ring. Jeff argues that a living woman would be wearing it, so its being left behind suggests the wife is dead.
Why does Jeff call Doyle again?
He wants the detective to take the case seriously. He reports Lisa's arrest and the ring, and lists the other clues: the buried garden, the metal case and the long-distance calls.
What does "louse up" mean?
It means to ruin or mess something up. Doyle uses it when he tells Jeff not to spoil his evening with another crazy-killer story.
What does Doyle promise to do?
He says he will run the ring down and, if it checks out, put an escort on Thorwald. He also sends someone with bail money for Lisa.
