- Carol Barr: Unless you have a warrant, I think you better leave.
- Joe Mannix: I'm not from the police.
- Carol Barr: Well, in that case, I'm sure they'd like to know exactly who you are.
- Joe Mannix: The number is 625-3311.
- Carol Barr: You said you were a buyer?
- Joe Mannix: That's right.
- Carol Barr: Of what?
- Joe Mannix: Film.
- Carol Barr: What kind?
- Joe Mannix: Fresh film... shot in a mountain cabin a couple hours ago.
- Carol Barr: Who are you?
- [Joe hands her a card]
- Carol Barr: Private investigator?
- Joe Mannix: Mm-hmm. Cash and negotiable bonds, $10,000's worth. No fuss, no phone calls, no police. That's the way my client wants it.
- Carol Barr: Your client?
- Joe Mannix: A man pretty highly placed.
- Carol Barr: Well, I must say, he's very prompt coming up with the money.
- Joe Mannix: Well, he thought it best to appeal to your conscience quickly.
- Carol Barr: It's the sort of appeal I respond to.
- Joe Mannix: Where's the film?
- Carol Barr: Still in the camera.
- [Joe examines the camera]
- Carol Barr: What are you doing?
- Joe Mannix: Just checking.
- [takes the film out of the camera]
- Joe Mannix: Well, uh, thank you, Miss Barr.
- Carol Barr: Thank you, Mr. Mannix. You see, I do have a conscience.
