John Holmes: Johnny Wadd

Quotes 

• Bartender : Help you ma'am?

  Sinthia : Yeah. A shot of tequila, straight up.

  Bartender : Yes, ma'am. Coming right up.

  Sinthia : [to Johnny Wadd]  Boy, I've been waiting around this place for 20 minutes just to get a seat.

  Johnny Wadd : You alone?

  Sinthia : Yeah. Just visiting San Francisco. Some people told me the food in here was really good.

  Johnny Wadd : Good? No, it's not good. It's probably the best place in San Francisco to eat. It's excellent.

  Sinthia : I certainly hope so. I could die of starvation before I got something to eat.

  Johnny Wadd : Doesn't happen over twice a year. You're safe.

  Johnny Wadd : [voice-over]  The Chinese believe that certain pieces of jade are endowed with mystical qualities. Qualities which can pass on to its owner untold power, wealth, and happiness. A legend, I thought at first. But now I'm beginning to wonder. In fact, I've been wondering ever since a certain piece of this type of jade came into my possession by accident. By accident, or was it destiny? All I know is that from that time on in the life of Johnny Wadd, private investigator, it has never been quite the same. And I have a strange feeling that it's all because of that mysterious carved figurine called the China Cat.

  Johnny Wadd : [voice-over]  Well, what next? Another little Oriental hit lady? Another blonde with knock-out drops in her snatch? Well, I guess I'm just going to have to wait and see what's going to try and come between me and that dangerous, that gorgeous hunk of jade, the China Cat.
