• Leonide : There is an air of inquiry about you that immediately offends my deepest nature! Something suggesting Scotland Yard, the French Sécurité, the Italian Carabinieri, the Turkish Polizi, and other minions of the law!

• Leonide : My little friend Indigo is deaf and dumb, he cannot hear and he cannot speak, but reads the lips. And I will advise you to say nothing to annoy him, for his temper is as short as he is.

• Lili Beth : Yes sir, but I really should announce you.

  Leonide : My dear girl, if I allowed myself to be announced, I doubt I would be received anywhere.

• Leonide : Has no one arranged to silence you yet, Mr. Lee? What a pity.

• Leonide : It is a pleasure to meet one of my youthful admirers.

  Terry Lee : Terry Lee of the Central City Times.

  Leonide : The press? Well, it's nice to have known you.

• Leonide : It is my peculiar misfortune to always be in a position to where I may eavesdrop.

• Lili Beth : I'm sorry, but the doctor won't see anybody without an appointment.

  Leonide : I have had an appointment with him for at least twenty years, he will see me!
