John B. Cannon : Charley was right. You don't have the hands of a sailor. I took your prints and found out who you were.
Alexander Mundy : Well, I hope they spoke kindly.
John B. Cannon : You're a thief. Alexander Mundy. A very accomplished thief.
Alexander Mundy : Well, let's say that I know my business as well as you know yours.

Alexander Mundy : You're wrong. I've already stolen half of what I came for.
John B. Cannon : Impossible. I've had your room searched constantly.
Alexander Mundy : Mr. Cannon, I came here to steal 5 minutes of your time. We've already used up 3 of them.
