Quotes
-
Dave Kendall : Gee, I'm sorry, I guess one of the bellmen must have put your bags in the baggage area.
Michael Robson : I'm in a hurry. You find my bags.
Dave Kendall : I'm sorry. I can't...
Peter McDermott : I'll show you where they are.
[he leads Robson to an out-of-the-way room behind the front desk; as Dave stands guard, rustling and blows landing are heard, and after a minute or so, Peter re-emerges]
Peter McDermott : See that that baggage is cleared out of there right away. Leave it out on the street in back of the hotel.
Dave Kendall : Yes, sir. My pleasure.

Michael Robson : A public place is so reassuring for a business transaction don't you agree?
Peter McDermott : The pictures.
Michael Robson : Yeah.
Peter McDermott : [Robson hands them over and Christine double-checks] And the negatives.
Michael Robson : The money.
[Peter takes out a check and they exchange]
Michael Robson : Don't you care to look at them, Mr. McDermott? Hilary's such a... beautiful girl.
Peter McDermott : [to Christine] You burn them. How do I know you don't have any more negatives?
Michael Robson : I'm a professional. If I get a reputation for double-crossing people, I'd wake up one morning and read my own obituary.
Peter McDermott : You double-cross me, and you can count on it.
Michael Robson : Why spoil a thriving business? There are hundreds of Hilarys out there, and hundreds of McDermotts to help 'em out. Bags, please
Dave Kendall : Yes, sir.
[leaving, Robson bumps into Billy, disguised as a priest]
Billy Griffin : Oh! Bless you, brother.
[coming over to Peter and Christine, he reveals he lifted the blackmail payment]
Billy Griffin : The Lord giveth... and the Lord taketh away.
