Quotes 

• Barbara Whitmore : How may I help you, Mr. Swift?

  Richard Swift : Well, as my card says, I deal in things both old and... curious, as a collector. And one of my many passions is magic. Stage magic, that is. It's come to my attention that the late William Zarick had a noteworthy collection of magical stage props and sundries from the past, now held in trust by the same American Dream.

  Barbara Whitmore : William Zarick?

  Richard Swift : Uh, a councilman in Blue Valley, if I'm not mistaken, but a-a well-known... collector.

  Barbara Whitmore : Did you know Mr. Zarick?

  Richard Swift : Merely by reputation.

  Barbara Whitmore : Mm.

  Richard Swift : Barbara...

  Barbara Whitmore : Mm.

  Richard Swift : I'm going to cut to the chase. If the American Dream were to sell me Zarick's collection, I'd probably pay a ridiculously high sum for it.

  Barbara Whitmore : Well, let me see where the collection is stored and if the committee wants to sell it, and I'll get back to you.

  Richard Swift : Excellent.

  Barbara Whitmore : [he stands to leave]  There's no contact info, which is strange for a business card, if you don't mind me saying.

  Richard Swift : I'll be in touch with you, but while I'm here, I may as well explore all that is Blue Valley. By chance, where might I find a decent cup of tea?

  Barbara Whitmore : You could try Richie's. It's just right down the street.

  Richard Swift : Richie's. Sounds delightful. I'll be in touch.
