• Harry Tass : [Murrell has given him a killing assignment]  Murrell... give me the details, huh?

  J.H. Morell : Well, he arrives at LAX at 5:10. There'll be reporters, so he'll have to stop on the landing ramp after the other passengers are off. They'll figure if you do your job, he'll never get to finish his interview.

  Harry Tass : Anything else?

  J.H. Morell : That's all.

  Harry Tass : Yeah?

  [notices everyone's uneasy expressions] 

  Harry Tass : So why all the long faces, huh?

  [no one responds] 

  Harry Tass : Something's wrong.

  J.H. Morell : Maybe.

  Harry Tass : Like what?

  Hendry : Some dude came hiking up here. Said his car broke down.

  Harry Tass : For real?

  Hendry : It could be. Said he was on a fishing trip.

  Harry Tass : A plant?

  J.H. Morell : We don't know.

  Harry Tass : Anyone thought of asking him?

  J.H. Morell : I had Elena fix his drink. He's out. At least until tomorrow.

  Harry Tass : And none of you guys know whether he came alone or not?

  J.H. Morell : That's right. But we're working on it. So far, all we know is that's he's out of L.A. Name's Joe Mannix.

  Harry Tass : Mannix?

  J.H. Morell : What is it, Harry?

  Harry Tass : I want to see this guy. I want to see him now.
