H.B. Halicki: Maindrian Pace

Quotes 

• Maindrian Pace : I'm looking for a Carl DeGusta. I'm Maindrian Pace. I'm the insurance investigator on this case.

  Captain Gibbs : [shaking hands]  Captain Gibbs.

  Maindrian Pace : Pleasure.

  Captain Gibbs : Where's my check?

  Maindrian Pace : Yeah, I'm sorry, are you Mr. DeGusta?

  Carl : Yes, I am.

  Judi Gibbs : I'm sorry, it doesn't work quite that easily. We'll have to conduct an investigation, first.

  Carl : [impatiently]  Hey, look, really, I don't need any of this "Gosh, I'm sorry for you", see? I'm a busy man, I have things to do, I have business appointments to deal with. I want my money and I want it now! I mean, I don't want to hear anything about "I'll call you later", 'cause that's my game!

  Judi Gibbs : Carl, you'll get another car.

  Carl : I don't want another car! I want my Bricklin! I can't drive around this town without a status car! Hey! What do you want me to drive around in? A Bug?

  Captain Gibbs : Slow down, Carl. Your lips are smoking. Mr. Pace, can I talk to you, for a minute, please?

  Maindrian Pace : Sure.

  [Gibbs takes him from a far distance from Carl and Judi] 

  Maindrian Pace : Now, for reasons known only to God, my daughter here sees something in this gentleman and I'd appreciate it if you could speed up the process, just a little bit.

  Maindrian Pace : Well, we do have certain procedures that we have to follow.

  Captain Gibbs : I'm fully aware of procedures, Mr. Pace. I am the captain of the Los Angeles police force, auto theft detail.

  Maindrian Pace : I see.

  [turns around to Carl] 

  Maindrian Pace : Mr. DeGusta, I'll have your check for $10,000, along with proof of insurance.

  Carl : That's better.

  Maindrian Pace : [sarcastic]  You're welcome.
