Quotes
-
Sherwin Caine : Beverly North.
Lt. Adam Tobias : Where'd you see her last?
Sherwin Caine : Oh, several months ago. We were very close for a while. Such a lovely girl. I'm not entirely surprised, though. She was very unpredictable. Especially when she drank.
Lt. Adam Tobias : Any particular reason you stopped seeing her, Mr. Caine?
Sherwin Caine : No. It just happened.
Joe Mannix : Her idea or yours?
Sherwin Caine : I don't have to talk to him. You know?
Kevin Archer : Look, Lieutenant, if you don't mind, Mr. Caine and I have work to do.
Lt. Adam Tobias : Sure, Mr. Archer.
[Archer nods]
Lt. Adam Tobias : Thanks for your cooperation, Mr. Caine. Joe.
Joe Mannix : You know, Mr. Archer, you really should do something about the people who work for you.
Kevin Archer : Why? I'm satisfied.
Joe Mannix : After those two foul-ups today? And the garage and on the road? You are easy to please. It's the old story, Mr. Archer. If you want something done right, you just have to do it yourself.
[Archer smiles]
Joe Mannix : Good night, gentlemen.
[he and Tobias leave]
Sherwin Caine : He's just trying to needle you. He hasn't got anything; nothing at all.
Kevin Archer : No. But he's right. I haven't got one good man. Not one who can find his nose with both hands. There's only one sure way to get rid of Mr. Mannix.
Sherwin Caine : Careful, Kevin. That temper of yours is going to get you into trouble. Just like it did Saturday night.
Kevin Archer : I told you about that. Now, nobody walks out on me. I told her if she got out of that car, it'd be the last thing she ever did.
Sherwin Caine : Well, I don't know. Going after Mannix yourself.
Kevin Archer : Oh, don't be stupid. Just get someone who knows what he's doing.
Sherwin Caine : Hm. In the meantime, Mannix is going to be busy.
Kevin Archer : Yeah. He's contacted everyone except George Bowman. He'll get there sooner or later.
