- Joe Mannix: Mr. Sloan?
- Harry Sloan: Yeah.
- Joe Mannix: I'm Joe Mannix. Peggy Fair is my secretary. She's a friend of your boy in there. How is he?
- Harry Sloan: They don't know yet. I'm going to get the guy who did this, you can count on it. Peggy Fair... Al's friend... she works for a private cop. Would that be you?
- Joe Mannix: That's right. Any idea who did it?
- Harry Sloan: I got more than an idea. Jake Coryell.
- Joe Mannix: How does Coryell figure into this?
- Harry Sloan: Find out for me, Mannix. I'll make it worth your while.
- Joe Mannix: Now look, if you have any evidence, you better talk to the police.
- Harry Sloan: [pointing at his heart] The evidence is sitting right here like a stone.
- Joe Mannix: You'll have to do better than that, Mr. Sloan. Hunches belong at race tracks.
- Harry Sloan: Look, if I spill this to the cops, the boxing commission will get to it. I got a license to worry about.
- Joe Mannix: Are you telling me Coryell fixed the fight?
- Harry Sloan: They tried, that's all, so help me. I can't go running to the boxing commission every time somebody stops me in the locker room. So I didn't tell them.
- Joe Mannix: Well, tell me.
- Harry Sloan: Now, listen, Coryell wanted Al to take a dive. Now, he's got to be kidding. That boy's going to the top in a year, two at the most. You saw the fight, he's a winner.
- Joe Mannix: I'd say so.
- Harry Sloan: I told Coryell no dice a week ago. I told him right off, Al's not going to take any dive for nobody. No, I told him, flat out.
- Joe Mannix: And you don't think Coryell took no for an answer?
- Harry Sloan: You saw what happened. Coryell tried to fix the fight himself.
- Doctor: [walks out of the operating room] Mr. Sloan?
- Harry Sloan: Yeah.
- Doctor: He's lost a lot of blood, but the wound isn't critical. He was lucky.
- Harry Sloan: Will he fight again?
- Doctor: Well, it's a little too early to say if he was that lucky.
- Harry Sloan: [after the doctor leaves] Mannix, how about it?
- Joe Mannix: I'll see what I can find out.
