Quotes 

• Danny Brite : Listen, Mannix, don't think I don't feel bad about what happened to Charlie. Funny men bleed, too, you know? Wish there was something I could do. Sam, are you gonna let the man sit there? Ask the man to sit down.

  Sam Westlake : Sure, won't you sit down, Mr. Mannix?

  Danny Brite : See if the man wants a drink.

  Sam Westlake : Would you like a drink, Mr. Mannix?

  Greg Westlake : Dad, I'll do that.

  Sam Westlake : If I want your help, I'll ask you for it! What'll you have?

  Joe Mannix : Nothing, thank you. There is something you can do for me, Danny.

  Danny Brite : Yeah.

  Joe Mannix : Tell me what Charlie Frome was working on.

  Danny Brite : Now that's confidential. You know that. Now if you could use some money. You know, funeral expenses.

  Joe Mannix : All I want is information.

  Sam Westlake : Look, you heard what the man said. It's confidential.

  Danny Brite : Sam, stop shooting off your mouth. The man wants some information. Okay, that confidential it's not. Charlie was trying to track down an old hoofer I used to know. Who'd think he'd meet me with an accident?

  Joe Mannix : It wasn't an accident.

  Sam Westlake : They said it was hit and run.

  Joe Mannix : Whoever was driving that car meant to hit Charlie.

  Danny Brite : Now hold it, Mannix, just hold it. You trying to tie me into something?

  Joe Mannix : All I'm trying to say is that Charlie Frome was killed purposely and yours seems to be the only case he was working on. It's as simple as that.

  Danny Brite : I TOLD YOU! You don't listen, do you? Charlie was trying to track down an old broken down hoofer I used to know. Why would anybody want to kill him for that?

  Joe Mannix : Well, when you're looking for people, things happen. Oh, uh... by the way, who is that hoofer?

  Danny Brite : A guy by the name of Harry Henderson.

  Sam Westlake : Well, look, Mr. Mannix, you know, if the papers get ahold of a story like this, and with Danny's name...

  Danny Brite : Sam's right. Why don't you just let it cool off, huh? I mean there's nothing we can do for Charlie now. Unless a couple of hundred.

  Joe Mannix : [sarcastically]  Now that's funny, Danny. That's really funny. You ought to keep it in the act.
