- Austin Lloyd: [on the phone] Come on, come on. What are you worrying about? Nobody will find out, and nobody will know. The contract's in the bag, I guarantee you. If anybody's got trouble, it's me. This partnership thing is like trying to ride a dying horse. I need that money. You, my friend, owe me Fifty-Thousand dollars. I never guaranteed who would get the contract. I only said our report would fix it so that Universal wouldn't.

- Bonnie Lloyd: Mr. Mason, I don't know how we can ever really thank you.
- Dwight Garrett: Well, I do. A nice fat fee for representing us. You deserve it, and I can afford it. Here you are, Miss Street. And I don't think you'll have to telephone the electronic check-approval company.
- Della Street: I'm afraid that isn't so.
- Dwight Garrett: What's the matter?
- Della Street: You forgot to sign it.
