- Clarissa de Vere Allan: I just happened to pop into Harrod's this morning and I bumped into Penny Barkington Stuart.
- Gene Bradley: All three of them?
- Brandon: Oh, that'll be your car, sir.
- Gene Bradley: It's early.
- Brandon: Punctuality, the politeness of princes, you know.
- Martin: Let's all behave in a civilized fashion, shall we?
- Gene Bradley: Civilized? With a gun in your hand?
- Martin: Touche.
- Brandon: How would we like our coffee, sir?
- Gene Bradley: Hot.
- Brandon: Oh, we have a hangover, I suspect. Should I prepare one of my special oysters?
- Gene Bradley: [wincing] Oh, go away, will you, Brandon?
- Gene Bradley: May I offer a suggestion? If you really want to be professional crooks, don't mess around with us amateurs.
- Clarissa de Vere Allan: Lovely to see you, Mr. Bradley. I've been frightfully excited since you telephoned. Won't you have a glass of lemon barley water?
- Gene Bradley: Barley water? Yes, I'd love it. What do I call you? The Honorable Clarissa de Vere Allan is quite a mouthful.
- Clarissa de Vere Allan: No, just Clarissa.
- Gene Bradley: I'm Gene.
- Clarissa de Vere Allan: You said it was frightfully important?
- Gene Bradley: Frightfully.
- Clarissa de Vere Allan: How intriguing. Won't you sit down?
- Gene Bradley: I am obliged for your help.
- Mr. Parminter: Oh, don't even mention it. It's nice to be of assistance. After all, you've done me enough favors.
- Gene Bradley: That's for sure.
- Mr. Parminter: And I admit it, right?
- Gene Bradley: Right.
- Mr. Parminter: And... I have a suggestion.
- Gene Bradley: That's not unusual.
