Walter Sullivan Who else was in my house?

Luther Whitney The Secret Service, they're the ones who shot her.

Walter Sullivan I don't yet know who it is I'm after. Until I do, you'll have to wait in Washington for instructions.

Michael McCarty I'm afraid that's out of the question. Mine is not particularly creative work, and I do it only because I enjoy living beyond my means. I can't afford to just sit around.

Walter Sullivan My father died when I was nine years old. He was a miner. He died of lung disease. I became rich at twenty-five, and the first thing I did was to buy that mine, close it down, and give every miner fifty thousand dollars to retire on. You *will* wait in Washington, Mr. McCarty. You *will* choose a penthouse suite, and I *will* put one million dollars into a Swiss bank of your choosing. And when the time comes... two million dollars a bullet.

Michael McCarty ...You are a salesman, sir.

Walter Sullivan Selling sin is easy.

Seth Frank Why does he bother to dig a slug out of the wall when he knows there's already another one stuck in her head?

Seth Frank Two guns means two burglars. They broke in together, they both went out the window? That's bullshit! And by the way, why did he, or they, go out the window in the first place when he, or they, got in by breaking a zillion-dollar security system?

Walter Sullivan For eighty years, I've tried to live... a decent life. I've given a billion dollars to charity. If this comes to trial... none of that will be remembered. I'll just go out... the joke of the world.

Seth Frank I understand, sir. I'll do what I can.

Walter Sullivan [chuckles] Will you listen to me whine? I apologize, Mr. Frank. Bother me all you want, just do your job. And I'll try to do mine.
