  Noah Bain : Maybe that's how he got all of this.

• Alexander Mundy : And I know Noah's modus operandi.

  Noah Bain : Mr. Mundy is guessing. Mr. Mundy is guessing to save his crooked neck. I know Mr. Mundy's modus operandi. He's fast with his hands and gift of gab. He's wiggled out of tight spots with both, but not this time, Al, this time it's over.

  [signals a guard] 

  Noah Bain : Take him.

• Noah Bain : Since when do thieves know how to write shorthand?

  Alexander Mundy : Well, I had to take it as a practical necessity in prison, See, I was secretary to the escape committee.
