What's really going on
The chapter is a comedy of displacement that turns into a mystery. Martins, a writer of cheap westerns, has come to a ruined city for a friend's funeral and is immediately treated as a cultural asset — "I've read quite a few of your books" — which is both flattering and absurd, since nobody at the lecture will have heard of him. His own books are described as something you can "pick them up and put them down anytime," a joke at his own expense. When the call comes, the film drops its tone: the caller says, "I was a friend of Harry Lime," and the easy comedy of the hotel curdles into the question that drives the plot. Martins' reply to Crabbin's clumsy sympathy — "That what you say to people after death?" — already shows the bluntness that will make him a poor detective.

FriendshipMartins has come to Vienna for Harry Lime, and the first person he meets on the phone claims to be another friend of the dead man.

このシーンについての質問

It is a colloquial contraction of 'have got to,' meaning must. Calloway tells the sergeant that the gentleman's gotta have a room for the night.
Who is Baron Kurtz?

Why can't the Baron come to the hotel?
The hotel is a military establishment, and the caller points out that Austrians aren't allowed inside. So he suggests a meeting at a nearby cafe instead.
What is Martins' novel The Lone Rider of Santa Fe about?
A man hunts down a sheriff who was victimising his best friend. Martins mentions it as a parallel to his own plan to go after Major Callaghan.
