- Jerry Vane: [after saving Mannix from an almost deliberate hit-and-run] Crazy fool could've killed you!
- Joe Mannix: Yeah, thanks, huh?
- Jerry Vane: You, uh, debt collecting?
- Joe Mannix: No.
- Jerry Vane: Bail bondsman.
- Joe Mannix: No. Why? Should I be?
- Jerry Vane: Well, looked like that creep was trying to hit you.
- Joe Mannix: Why would he do a thing like that?
- Jerry Vane: You want me to find out? I got his license number. Come on, let's, uh... let's talk about it over a cup of coffee.
- Joe Mannix: Uh, no, thanks. Maybe some other time, huh?
- Jerry Vane: Yeah, sure. Uh, here's my card. Uh... call me.
- Joe Mannix: [reading the card the man provides him] Jerry Vane, private investigator.
- Jerry Vane: One of the best, if I say so myself. What's your name?
- Joe Mannix: Mannix.
- Jerry Vane: Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Man... Joe Mannix? First whiff of a job I get all month, and it turns out to be Mr. Private Peeper himself.
- Joe Mannix: Now, look, uh...
- Jerry Vane: Oh, no, no, no, no. Please, please. I wouldn't hear of it. Uh, consider it, uh, professional courtesy. You know, one... one pro to another.
- Joe Mannix: Thanks. I mean it.
- Jerry Vane: If anybody's going to turn up Gordon Cameron... you're the guy, Mannix.
- Joe Mannix: [opens his car door] Hop in. Let's have that cup of coffee.
- Joe Mannix: [Aileen is searching through a drawer for Gordon Cameron's file] Something wrong?
- Aileen: It's gone.
- Joe Mannix: Are you sure?
- Aileen: Yes.
- Joe Mannix: Who else has access to these files?
- Aileen: I'm the only one, really. The security office has duplicate keys, I suppose.
- Joe Mannix: Are they, uh, normally kept locked?
- Aileen: Only at night when I leave. He certainly did cover his tracks, didn't he?
- Joe Mannix: We don't know that he took the file.
- Aileen: What are you hoping to do, Mr. Mannix? Prove that Gordon Cameron didn't kill Mrs. Olson?
- Joe Mannix: You want him convicted, even if he's innocent?
- Aileen: If he didn't do it, why did he run away?
- Joe Mannix: That's a question everybody seems to be asking. Thanks.
