- Michael Winslow: I beg your pardon, but I'm really awfully sorry about this afternoon. It was my own stupid...
- Barbara Lang: It's quite all right.
- Michael Winslow: You don't like me.
- Barbara Lang: I don't see what difference that makes.
- Michael Winslow: You know, I'm the kind of a fellow, when you first meet me you don't like me. But after you get to know me better... you hate me.
- Barbara Lang: Oh, I'll never hate you.
- Michael Winslow: Well, that's something.
- Barbara Lang: Because I'm *not* going to know you any better.
- Al: Say, don't you think it's dangerous leaving this hideout, the way things is?
- Thomas 'Tom' Darcy: Not half as dangerous as what that wise guy writer's doin'.
- [deep in thought]
- Thomas 'Tom' Darcy: Winslow... Winslow...
- Al: Never heard of 'im. Probably one of those nom de aliases.
- Thomas 'Tom' Darcy: We're gonna find out.
- Herman Tibbets: Listen, get this into your head, will ya? When a dame slips you the wrong phone number...
- Michael Winslow: ...she doesn't want to see you. Hmm. That took a great criminologist to figure that out.
- Herman Tibbets: [Just out on parole] Boy, it's great to be out again. You know, Goldie, the guy that said 'Crime doesn't pay' certainly must have known something. From now on, it's the straight and nar... hey, just how did you get this fancy wagon?
- Goldie Tibbets: [Driving] I borrowed it.
- Herman Tibbets: Who from?
- Goldie Tibbets: [Smiling] From in front of the depo.
- Herman Tibbets: [Somberly] Turn around. I might as well go back in style.
- Goldie Tibbets: [Excited] Herman, see that briefcase?
- Herman Tibbets: Yeah.
- Goldie Tibbets: My swimming pool is in it.
- Herman Tibbets: What?
- Goldie Tibbets: Yeah, a hundred-acre estate with orange, lemon and avocado trees.
- Herman Tibbets: Hey, do you hear voices too? Maybe you need an aspirin.
- Goldie Tibbets: There's 50 thousand bucks in that briefcase. I heard him try to insure it.
- Herman Tibbets: 50 G's? Oh, no, Goldie. Not for us.
- Goldie Tibbets: You can do an awful lot of going straight on 50 grand.
- Herman Tibbets: Nothin' doin'.
- Joe - Mike's Butler: [On the telephone] Is a Miss Barbara Lang registered there, please? No?
- [He hangs up]
- Michael Winslow: [Enters] Any luck, Joe?
- Joe - Mike's Butler: [Dryly] I've telephoned every hotel, motel, inn and hostelry in the metropolitan area.
- Michael Winslow: Well, where else?
- Joe - Mike's Butler: See for yourself, sir. Palm Springs... Lake Arrowhead... I've gone east as far as the Grand Canyon and south of the Mexican border.
- Michael Winslow: Well, keep trying.
- Joe - Mike's Butler: Give me a week, sir, and I"ll work my way up to the Canadian border.
- Michael Winslow: You may try San Quentin. She may have left a message for me.
- Thomas 'Tom' Darcy: [Walking toward the Tibbets in the swimming pool] Sorry to spoil your little swim. Are you Mr. Tibbets?
- Herman Tibbets: Yeah.
- Thomas 'Tom' Darcy: Well, I'm Thomas Darcy. Mr. Wells thought that I would be excellent for 'The Hawk'. Heh, heh. Oh, um, these fellows are just from the casting office.
- Herman Tibbets: Ah, well, they're a mighty handsome bunch of Hawks. Line up, boys.
- [the casting office men line up]
- Goldie Tibbets: Turn around. Let me see you.
- Thomas 'Tom' Darcy: Well, um, what about the kiddies? Don't they have to pass on us too?
- Herman Tibbets: [to Goldie] How do you like 'em?
- Goldie Tibbets: That makeup man certainly followed your diagram.
- Herman Tibbets: Yeah, the makeup's swell but the clothes are wrong. You want to be all in brown, like a Hawk's feathers.
- Thomas 'Tom' Darcy: Well, of course, I'll shall have to read the script. I couldn't consider a small part.
- Goldie Tibbets: [Dryly] No matter how small it is, you'll fit it.
- Thomas 'Tom' Darcy: [Indignantly] Hmph.
- Barbara's Landlady: Now don't feel so bad, honey. I've seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go... and it's usually the smart ones that go.
- Barbara Lang: Oh, I guess Hollywood's full of girls like me. Long on ambition and short on talent. Short on room rent too.
- Barbara's Landlady: Yeah, don't let that bother you. Just send it to me when you get it.
- Michael Winslow: How's the career going?
- Barbara Lang: Oh, just around the corner from sables and mink.
- Hugo Wells: We are previewing the first picture tonight and I haven't got a script for the second one yet.
- Herman Tibbets: Oh, well, you see, Mr. Wells, we're... we're having trouble with the story line.
- Hugo Wells: I don't want to hear about your troubles. I want pages.
- Goldie Tibbets: We're a little stuck. They've got The Hawk in hiding
- Herman Tibbets: Hiding? At two thousand a week, I can't afford to keep him hiding. When do I get a shooting script?
- Michael Winslow: How do I know? I'm not psychic.
- Herman Tibbets: Well, I am. And If I don't get a script pretty soon, you'll be dining on your ducks.
- Goldie Tibbets: Oh, don't pay any attention to Mike, Mr. Wells, he's got girl trouble.
- Hugo Wells: Girl trouble? On my time?
- Michael Winslow: [Starts to leave] And we'll not discuss it on your time either.
- Hugo Wells: Wait a minute! Contract or no contract. Nobody gets temperamental at Wonder Studios... except me!
- [He follows Mike out of the room]
- Herman Tibbets: I knew it was too good to last.
- Goldie Tibbets: You're going to get awfully tired of duck three times a day.
