Police Chief
- Inspector Ginko: Yes. Yes, sir.
- Minister of the Interior: ''Yes, sir''? Don't try to ''Yes, sir'' me, sir! You either.
- Police Chief: Yes, sir.
- Minister of the Interior: What am l going to say to the Prime Minister? ''Yes, sir''?
- Police Chief: Yes, sir.
- Minister of the Interior: [slaps desk] NO, SIR! l am going to have to come up with some brilliant idea. Otherwise, he's going to find a new Minister of the Interior, and the next man may not have the same understanding of police methods as I have. Can you grasp that?
- Police Chief: No, sir.
- Minister of the Interior: Preposterous to think that one man can make a fool of the ENTIRE police force! We're a laughingstock in the world press, and our own newspapers are screaming for action! And that is PRECISELY what l intend giving them: vigorous, clear-sighted action. Now, firstly, it is obvious to the logical and well-trained mind that the first thing that Diabolik is going to do is to get those dollars out of the country.
- Inspector Ginko: Logical suggestion, sir.
- Minister of the Interior: [flattered] Mm, thank you!
- Inspector Ginko: But, I'm afraid, quite useless.
- Minister of the Interior: What?
- Inspector Ginko: Diabolik will handle the ten million dollars, but in some quite different way.
- Minister of the Interior: What ''quite some different way''?
- Inspector Ginko: A way no mind but his could imagine.

- Mr. Hammond: With this new plan of action, everyone will collaborate. Even his mother will turn him in.
- Police Chief: No, sir.
- Mr. Hammond: What do you mean, "No, sir"?
- Police Chief: l don't believe he has a mother, sir.
- Mr. Hammond: Hm. Oh, well... in any case, I'll have no negative thinking in my police force.
- Police Chief: Sorry, sir. It's a habit. The former minister always insisted that we...
- Mr. Hammond: My predecessor's policies don't interest me. *I* am minister now, AND I WANT THIS MAN CAUGHT!
- [nurses his hurt finger after slamming it on the desk with each shouted word]
- Mr. Hammond: There is my policy.
- Police Chief: Yes, sir.
- Mr. Hammond: All you can say is ''Yes, sir''? With this reward, the whole country will be out to catch him!
- Inspector Ginko: What if...?
- Mr. Hammond: There are no "ifs"! A million dollars wipes out "ifs"! The reward has turned public opinion against him.
- Mr. Hammond: [whispering, after reading a letter] Unheard of!
- Police Chief: [reading] ''ln view of the bad use to which the government has put the public money, I shall take steps to remove it from circulation. Signed... Diabolik''.
- Mr. Hammond: It's. A. Joke. AND WE'LL CALL HIS BLUFF!
