Quotes 

• Linda Dean : Roger took some bonds out of his account.

  Frank Cannon : In what amount?

  Linda Dean : Does that matter?

  Frank Cannon : I'll tell you that after you tell me in what amount.

  Linda Dean : Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

  Frank Cannon : It matters.

• Frank Cannon : Y'know, there seem to be a lot of things you don't want to face that are unpleasant, Mrs. Dean. For instance, the possibility that your husband is on the run from some kind of trouble.

  Linda Dean : What kind of trouble could he possibly be running from?

  Frank Cannon : Well, I can answer that when I find out why he went into the wilderness with $350,000 in his pocket.

• Frank Cannon : Y'know, people hire private detectives for many different reasons. To set up alibis. Mislead the police. Get information on their own misdeeds past, present, and contemplated.

• Ethan Kehoe : You two know each other?

  Wallace (William) Spear : Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is the nut that pulled a gun on me.

  Frank Cannon : Yes, I'll admit I'm a little nutty on the subject of staying alive.

• Frank Cannon : I want to talk to you seriously about your man Speer, because I don't buy the accusations he's made against my client. And if he continues it, I'm gonna work him over like a diamond mine.

• Ethan Kehoe : What'll you have?

  Frank Cannon : Double vodka martini with three olives. No, as a matter of fact make it two olives. I forgot I was on a diet.
