Allan Taggert
- Lew Harper: [asking about Fay Estabrook] She used to be a pretty hot young starlet. What happened to her?
- Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot: She got FAT!
- Miranda Sampson: My stepmother, Lady Macbeth, is always going to extremes.
- Lew Harper: Meaning me, Miss Sampson? I'm a very moderate-type fellow.
- Miranda Sampson: Not you, especially. *Everything* she does is extreme. Other women fall off horses without getting paralyzed. Not Elaine. I think it's psychological, don't you
- Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot: You've been reading too many books.
- Miranda Sampson: That's something they'll never accuse *you* of. She's not a raving beauty anymore.
- Lew Harper: [disinterested] Can I have a sandwich?
- Miranda Sampson: Yes. So she retired from competition. Falling off the horse gave her the chance to do it. For all I know, she did it intentionally. And you've got to admit, it's pretty extreme, hiring a private detective when your husband's been gone just one night.
- Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot: Hey, Lew baby!
- Lew Harper: How are ya, beauty?
- Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot: Top of the morning!
- Miranda Sampson: Well, you can fly Mr. Harper there or you can stay here with me.
- Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot: I'll fly. It'll keep me from getting bored.
- Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot: [Leering at Fay through the door] Well...
- Lew Harper: [Dismissively] It's nothing like that. She happens to be a hard night's work
- Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot: Hey, Lew. You all right?
- Lew Harper: I'm awful tired of answering that question.
- Lew Harper: You know how to use this?
- [hands Taggert a pistol, he starts impersonating James Cagney]
- Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot: Oh, I prefer a Thompson, actually, but this'll do in a pinch. You dirty rat! You gave that man oranges? A-ha. A-hmm.
- Allan Taggert, Sampson's Pilot: Sure, I been to the joint a couple of times. Just to hear her. I dig the way she plays. But I don't know her, Lew. I don't. Honestly.
