  Joe Mannix : , then I'm gonna get me a bright little man and stick him inside and I'll just bet you that I'll get better answers from him than you'll ever get from all of these.

• Lew Wickersham : Joe, who are you going to punch in the mouth to get the information?

  Joe Mannix : Does it make any difference?

  Lew Wickersham : A big difference, because we're rapidly approaching the point where no insurance company will handle our liability policy.
