- [first lines]
- Adam Langer: [walking out of an airplane] Jennifer, have the contracts on the Transpact deal typed and on my desk in the morning.
- Jennifer Holt: Yes, sir.
- Adam Langer: Mr. Mannix.
- Joe Mannix: That's right.
- Adam Langer: Good of you to come. This is Jennifer Holt, my secretary. Mr. Mannix.
- Jennifer Holt: Hello. How do you do?
- Joe Mannix: How do you do?
- Jennifer Holt: You certainly don't look like what I thought a private eye would look like.
- Joe Mannix: Well, if that's meant as a compliment, thank you.
- Jennifer Holt: You're welcome.
- Joe Mannix: You said it was important, Mr. Langer.
- Adam Langer: You've come highly recommend. Are you as good as my sources say you are?
- Joe Mannix: Now you don't really expect an unprejudiced opinion?
- Adam Langer: I just want to be sure I'm hiring the right man.
- Joe Mannix: You already decided that, or I wouldn't be here.
- Adam Langer: You're not handicapped with false modesty.
- Joe Mannix: No. Are you?
- Adam Langer: Modest people aren't worth $5 million at age 35.
- Joe Mannix: You're worth more than $5 million.
- Adam Langer: I'm more than 35. Jennifer.
- Jennifer Holt: Yes, sir.
- Adam Langer: I'll see you at the office in the morning.
- Jennifer Holt: Yes, sir. Goodbye.
- Joe Mannix: Goodbye. What did you have in mind, Mr. Langer?
- Adam Langer: I want a political figure investigated.
- Joe Mannix: Why?
- Adam Langer: For reasons of my own. I want you to dog up every rotten thing you can find out about him, anything that could be used as a smear.
- Joe Mannix: Sorry, Mr. Langer. I don't do that sort of thing. And somehow, I didn't figure it to be your style.
- Adam Langer: You're right. It isn't. But I'm making an exception in this case. I hope you will, too.
- Joe Mannix: It depends on the reason.
- Adam Langer: I want you to dog deep, deep enough to destroy him of you can.
- Joe Mannix: Who is this man?
- Adam Langer: Me.
