Oscar Farrar:
Incidentally, I picked up your last two paychecks. It was barely enough to pay for my plane ticket down here. Didn't even leave me enough to buy you a present! I feel like a cad.
Georgia Garrett: You crook. You can go to jail for that. Oscar Farrar: Marry me and you won't have to testify against me.

Michael Kent:
My wife is leaving day after tomorrow on a South American cruise and, well, she insists on going without me.
Peter Virgil: Hm. And to a man of your suspicious nature that means only one thing: Another man on the boat. Michael Kent: Well, you see, I don't know, but that's what I want you to find out. Peter Virgil: Well, you've come to the right man. I have handled so many of these cases. [phone rings] Peter Virgil: Excuse me. [picks up phone] Peter Virgil: Hello?...Oh yes, how are you?...Well, certainly I shadowed your wife. I hate to tell you this, but you were right, she's been two-timing you. [we hear a thud on the other end of the line] Peter Virgil: Hello? Hello? [aside to Mr. Kent] Peter Virgil: He fainted. [hangs up phone] Peter Virgil: Sometimes there's a shot. Now where were we? Michael Kent: Well, Mr. Virgil, I want you to get on the same boat with my wife and shadow her. Peter Virgil: Hey now, wait a minute! That means I'll have to leave all of my business! Michael Kent: I'll make it up to you. Peter Virgil: Well, I can tell you right now without batting an eyelash it'll cost you $1000 a week. Michael Kent: Well, that's a little steep, isn't it, old boy? Peter Virgil: Yes, yes it is, but, uh, I'll probably get seasick. Michael Kent: Well, all right, all right, I'll book your passage. Peter Virgil: Hm. Now, uh, move your chair a little closer, will you? There's a little confidential information I must have. [phone rings] Peter Virgil: Excuse me. [picks up phone] Peter Virgil: Hello? [we hear a gunshot on the other end of the line] Peter Virgil: Well, whaddya know? He didn't even wait for me to tell him!
