Peter McDermott
- Billy Griffin: He looks like the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo.
- Peter McDermott: Adam Vidocq *was* Monte Carlo. One of Churchill's top wartime agents, Grand Prix driver. He was a friend and lover to movie stars and royalty. Friend of mine, too.
- Billy Griffin: A friend doesn't put that look on your face.
- Peter McDermott: Oh, some pretty heavy jewelry disappeared in Nice. Vidocq was usually around. Keep an eye out, Billy. The fox is still in the chicken coop.
- Adam Vidocq: How are you, Peter?
- Peter McDermott: Fine. Last I heard, you were living quietly in your villa.
- Adam Vidocq: Uh, yes. It was too damn quiet, like waiting for a funeral to start.
- Peter McDermott: Only someone like you could be bored on the Riviera.
- Adam Vidocq: Only thing I was ever afraid of, Peter, being bored. Uh, staying here?
- Peter McDermott: Staying here? Hell, I'm the general manager.
- Adam Vidocq: General manager? That's a long way up, even for that bright young trainee at the Negresco. How many years is it?
- Peter McDermott: More than I'd like to remember.
- Adam Vidocq: I remember every bottle we emptied together. Uh, you were always going to come back.
- Peter McDermott: Well, I guess an ocean got in the way.
