• Buster Buffin : Well, what'll it be? Clam chowder or clam chowder?

  Stuart Bailey : Got any clam chowder?

  Buster Buffin : Oh, that's special. Cost you extra.

• Buster Buffin : So you're trying to find Janie.

  Stuart Bailey : Yeah.

  Buster Buffin : That was all of six years ago, chum. What's your angle on her?

  Stuart Bailey : Oh, just leg work and the expense account is lean and hungry.

  Buster Buffin : What's the information worth?

  Stuart Bailey : What's the information?

  Stuart Bailey : [Buster doesn't respond; Bailey pulls out some money]  What'll that buy?

• Buster Buffin : We came down in '41, together. Strictly plutonic. She was one of those "don't maul me" type. She got up a routine with bubble bath or something and hit the nightclub circuit. I caught her act in Long Beach. Pretty corny. That was about five years ago. Haven't given her a dime's worth of thought since.

• Stuart Bailey : [serving a bowl of clam chowder]  You wouldn't be a food inspector, would you?

  Buster Buffin : Put it down. I might be hungry.

  Stuart Bailey : You'll find it warmer than an old maid's feet, but, not half as clammy

• Buster Buffin : Club Zoro, Long Beach Boulevard. She was calling herself: Janie Joy.

  Stuart Bailey : Club Zoro. Janie Joy. Thank you.
