Quotes
-
Dr. Amusa : I'm really quite disenchanted with the results you're getting.
Kelp : Things could be worse, Doctor. I mean, at least we know where it is. Now, all we need is a little plan.
Dr. Amusa : [in a mocking tone] "Here's the matériel request, Doctor. You'll notice there's a SUBMARINE on it! But don't get excited, we don't need anything atomic. Just your standard, ordinary sub. We're used to hardships."
-
Dr. Amusa : [On being presented with yet another request for assistance] I've heard of the habitual criminal, of course. But I never dreamed I'd become involved with the habitual CRIME.
-
Dr. Amusa : I won't pay a penny more than $25,000 a man.
Dortmunder : I didn't ask for any more.
Dr. Amusa : It comes to a total of exactly $100,000. Four men. If you need five, you'll each take less.
Kelp : What if we can do it with three?
Dr. Amusa : That will still be $25,000. I wouldn't want to encourage greed.
Kelp : There's no greed around here, Doctor. We're all men of goodwill.
Dr. Amusa : If I weren't a man of goodwill, I might think that some of us lied about the prison records of others of us. As it is, I know it was only an oversight.
