- Maindrian Pace: I'm looking for a Carl DeGusta. I'm Maindrian Pace. I'm the insurance investigator on this case.
- Captain Gibbs: [shaking hands] Captain Gibbs.
- Maindrian Pace: Pleasure.
- Captain Gibbs: Where's my check?
- Maindrian Pace: Yeah, I'm sorry, are you Mr. DeGusta?
- Carl: Yes, I am.
- Judi Gibbs: I'm sorry, it doesn't work quite that easily. We'll have to conduct an investigation, first.
- Carl: [impatiently] Hey, look, really, I don't need any of this "Gosh, I'm sorry for you", see? I'm a busy man, I have things to do, I have business appointments to deal with. I want my money and I want it now! I mean, I don't want to hear anything about "I'll call you later", 'cause that's my game!
- Judi Gibbs: Carl, you'll get another car.
- Carl: I don't want another car! I want my Bricklin! I can't drive around this town without a status car! Hey! What do you want me to drive around in? A Bug?
- Captain Gibbs: Slow down, Carl. Your lips are smoking. Mr. Pace, can I talk to you, for a minute, please?
- Maindrian Pace: Sure.
- [Gibbs takes him from a far distance from Carl and Judi]
- Maindrian Pace: Now, for reasons known only to God, my daughter here sees something in this gentleman and I'd appreciate it if you could speed up the process, just a little bit.
- Maindrian Pace: Well, we do have certain procedures that we have to follow.
- Captain Gibbs: I'm fully aware of procedures, Mr. Pace. I am the captain of the Los Angeles police force, auto theft detail.
- Maindrian Pace: I see.
- [turns around to Carl]
- Maindrian Pace: Mr. DeGusta, I'll have your check for $10,000, along with proof of insurance.
- Carl: That's better.
- Maindrian Pace: [sarcastic] You're welcome.
