- Linda Dean: Roger took some bonds out of his account.
- Frank Cannon: In what amount?
- Linda Dean: Does that matter?
- Frank Cannon: I'll tell you that after you tell me in what amount.
- Linda Dean: Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
- Frank Cannon: It matters.
- Frank Cannon: Y'know, there seem to be a lot of things you don't want to face that are unpleasant, Mrs. Dean. For instance, the possibility that your husband is on the run from some kind of trouble.
- Linda Dean: What kind of trouble could he possibly be running from?
- Frank Cannon: Well, I can answer that when I find out why he went into the wilderness with $350,000 in his pocket.
- Frank Cannon: Y'know, people hire private detectives for many different reasons. To set up alibis. Mislead the police. Get information on their own misdeeds past, present, and contemplated.
- Ethan Kehoe: You two know each other?
- Wallace (William) Spear: Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is the nut that pulled a gun on me.
- Frank Cannon: Yes, I'll admit I'm a little nutty on the subject of staying alive.
- Frank Cannon: I want to talk to you seriously about your man Speer, because I don't buy the accusations he's made against my client. And if he continues it, I'm gonna work him over like a diamond mine.
- Ethan Kehoe: What'll you have?
- Frank Cannon: Double vodka martini with three olives. No, as a matter of fact make it two olives. I forgot I was on a diet.
