The Wages of Love (1991)

William Bogert: Jules Simon

Quotes 

• Jules Simon : 8-1/4% tax on $14,000. That's over 1100. My customer says to me: ship a dummy box to New Jersey or I'll buy my stones in Palm Beach. What am I supposed to do?

  Paul Robinette : Tell him our jails are nicer than Florida's.

  Jules Simon : State hit me with a $100,000 fine. I love New York.

  Paul Robinette : Looks like you're surviving. Your record on that necklace?

  Jules Simon : Is it really that important? My customer comes in angry, I want his business.

  Paul Robinette : If your customer comes in again, call Geraldo. He's dead, and this is a murder investigation.

  [both walk over to file cabinet] 

  Paul Robinette : Mr Cullen paid cash, right? And the necklace was sent to an Alexandra Becket?

  Jules Simon : Just barely. Mr Cullen had bought several pieces for his wife over the years. Smaller pieces. There was a cretinous new shipping clerk who called Mrs. Cullen by mistake. She was not expecting a necklace. Very embarrassing. If Mr Cullen had found out it would have cost me his business.

  Paul Robinette : Cost him a lot more than that.
