Quotes 

• Mr. Cook : Mr. Mundy, this is more important than an individual person.

  Alexander Mundy : Mr. Cook, nothing is more important than any individual person.

• Mr. Cook : We are not asking you to betray the girl, simply to get her help to find out if Ryder is Ryder.

  Alexander Mundy : And how do you propose I do that?

  Noah Bain : Well, that should be fairly obvious. All you have to do is to take a picture of him.

  Alexander Mundy : Oh, take a picture of him?

  Noah Bain : That's right. Take a picture of him. He had an airplane crash in 1957. He has an identifiable scar.

  Alexander Mundy : Where?

  Noah Bain : Somewhere on the lower posterior.

  Alexander Mundy : Terrific. All I have to do is catch Daniel K. Ryder body surfing au naturel.

• Nina Gray : You are a thief. And Daniel Ryder is the richest man in the whole world. Expect me to believe you just dropped back into my life for auld lang syne?

  Alexander Mundy : Since when is sentimentality a felony?

  Nina Gray : Since you took it up.

• Alexander Mundy : I did have designs on Ryder, and I was using you as the key. But I can't. You got to me.

  Nina Gray : Oh, Al, don't go honest on me.

  Alexander Mundy : I'm leveling with you. Now this is the hard part: I'm working for the United States Government.

  Nina Gray : That's not possible.

  Alexander Mundy : Do you remember all that room I had to swing? Well, I struck out. I work for Uncle now.

  Nina Gray : What do you do for him?

  Alexander Mundy : I'm an agent.

  Nina Gray : I can't see you working for J. Edgar's Army.

  Alexander Mundy : No, it's not the F.B.I. It's, uh, well, I still work as a thief, but it's under a different label. I'm telling you straight. Now you can either believe me or you can turn around and put the knife into me.

• Alexander Mundy : Noah, she was in love with me.

  Noah Bain : Al, you're a nice guy, but I'm afraid you just came up about two billion dollars short. The lady went with the money, that's all.
