Quotes 

• Noah Bain : We picked you for this because of your knowledge of the language, as well as your many other talents. How many do you speak, by the way?

  Alexander Mundy : Six, counting English. Tools of the trade, you might say. Gives you a broader scope.

• Alexander Mundy : Look, I know this is a rough league. I read a lot about how you guys operate.

  Harold Norman : Really? Tell me.

  Alexander Mundy : Torturing beautiful, young girls isn't exactly my line of work.

  Harold Norman : I know what your line of work is. You do your job, and I'll do mine.

• Harold Norman : Bain said you were a big-time thief.

  Alexander Mundy : I had my moments.

  Harold Norman : You were in jail when he found you.

  Alexander Mundy : Well, we all make mistakes.

  Harold Norman : Not in this league.

• Alexander Mundy : Make like a chauffeur. Sneak a drink in the kitchen.

  Harold Norman : What do you know about real chauffeurs?

  Alexander Mundy : I've robbed a lot of very rich people.

• Capt. Kovich : What do you want here? Political Asylum?

  Alexander Mundy : A vacation, that's all. I'm waiting for cooler weather before I go back.

  Lt. Verok : Where are the jewels?

  Alexander Mundy : What jewels?

  Lt. Verok : I have ordered his luggage searched.

  Capt. Kovich : And if he does have them, which I doubt. Then what do you do leftenant? Send them back to England with our compliments and hope that Scotland Yard will promote you?

• Noah Bain : Your usual tidy job?

  [after Al has walked out of a bank with a case full of jewelry] 

  Alexander Mundy : Like old times.

  Noah Bain : [Grabs the case]  I'll take that.

  Alexander Mundy : Sometimes I get the feeling you don't trust me.

  [looks at a polaroid of himself] 

  Alexander Mundy : Ah that doesn't do me justice.

  Noah Bain : It'll do.

  Alexander Mundy : For your album?

  Noah Bain : To be sure you're identified as the thief.

  Alexander Mundy : Thanks a lot! First you make me rob that nice old lady. Then you doublecross me. I always knew the SIA was an effecient organization but don't you think that's carrying things a bit too far?

  Noah Bain : She'll get her jewels back. And the picture won't be used against you. Except by the officials of the country you're going to visit. We'll see that they get a copy immediately.
