• Joe Mannix : [sees Vic Stanley walk out of a bedroom in Ellen's broken-in apartment]  Hold it!

  Ellen Gray : Vic!

  Vic Stanley : Ellen, who is this guy?

  Ellen Gray : It's all right, Vic. Mr. Mannix is a private investigator.

  Vic Stanley : What's he investigating?

  Joe Mannix : Among other things, how you got into this house.

  Vic Stanley : The door was open when I got here.

  Joe Mannix : When was that?

  Vic Stanley : Just a few minutes ago. When Ellen didn't answer, I got worried and came in to see if she was all right. Look, I could use a drink. Anyone joining me?

  Ellen Gray : Mr. Mannix?

  Joe Mannix : No thanks.

  Ellen Gray : Vic's the best friend I have. A very good friend.

  Joe Mannix : Then you won't mind answering a few questions.

  Vic Stanley : About what?

  Joe Mannix : Mart Gray. How well did you know him?

  Vic Stanley : About as well as any man alive, I guess. Mart and I flew together in Vietnam. We both got out of the Air Force about the same time. Mart went to Hong Kong. I came home.

  Joe Mannix : Why did he choose Hong Kong?

  Vic Stanley : He had some business offers, I believe.

  Joe Mannix : What kind of offers?

  Vic Stanley : He never talked about them.

  Ellen Gray : Mr. Stanley came to Hong Kong and took care of all the arrangements for me. The police reports, immigration, everything. I'd have been lost without him.

  Joe Mannix : Did you know that Mart was in trouble?

  Vic Stanley : Not until Ellen told me. It really shook me up, too. I mean, Mart was always a patsy for the easy buck, but... well, I never thought he'd pull anything crooked.

  Joe Mannix : What makes you think it was crooked.

  Vic Stanley : Oh, come on, Mannix, what else could it be?

  Joe Mannix : Did you mention that to the Hong Kong police?

  Vic Stanley : Well... no, I never got around to it, but I...

  Joe Mannix : Your friend committed suicide, his wife is followed and probably in danger, and you never got around to mentioning it?

  Vic Stanley : Now, look, Mannix. You're really jumping...

  Ellen Gray : Look!
