• Nicholas 'Nick' Charles : The fact that the boy's dead doesn't seem to have made very much of an impression on you.

  Bill Burns : Why should it? Death hasn't endowed him with any new virtues, has it?

  Nicholas 'Nick' Charles : That's a little brutal, but honest. Do you, eh... You know of anyone who might have had cause to kill him?

  Bill Burns : The way he was cutting throats at the plant, it might have been a number of people.

  Nicholas 'Nick' Charles : What about you?

  Bill Burns : Mr. Charles, when you've got anything on me, you can serve your papers. But until that time, I figure my time is my own.
