Fran : Don't forget to empty that out.
Arthur Adamson : Don't you think emptying a chemical toilet is a little below the dignity of a jewel collector?

Arthur Adamson : I'll do it tomorrow.

Arthur Adamson : Let's go to bed.
Fran : Tired?
Arthur Adamson : Mm-mm. Tingling all over.

Fran : Where'd you put the diamond, dear?
Arthur Adamson : Where everyone can see it.
Fran : You didn't.
Arthur Adamson : I did.

Arthur Adamson : You'll have to torture me first.
Fran : Oh!
[laughs]
Fran : I intend to. In a few minutes.

Arthur Adamson : Did you say anything to them?
Fran : Not a syllable.
Arthur Adamson : Now, you see, honey? I told you you could learn to keep your mouth shut, if you tried.
-
Fran : You better give me a quick synopsis. I'm confused.
Arthur Adamson : Simple. A cab driver is shacked up with a sex-starved medium named Blanche Tyler. Don't ask me why, but apparently they're on the trail of some spook named Eddie Shoebridge.
