- [Chuck has accepted a check for $5000 to keep the Whirlybirds on a retainer]
- Chuck Martin: Well, that's a whole lot of money, huh?
- P. T. Moore: Boy, I sure don't like the smell of it.
- Chuck Martin: Wasn't planning to smell it; I wasn't even planning to deposit it.
- [Chuck shows Larkin the $5000 check]
- Larkin: What's that for?
- P. T. Moore: For losing our memories, for not believing our eyes, for keeping our mouths shut.
- Larkin: Seems to me you're doing an awful lot of talking for a couple of guys being paid to keep your mouths shut.
- Chuck Martin: If you put two and two together you get four, if we don't put two and two together, we get five thousand.
- Larkin: That's pretty fancy arithmetic.
- Chuck Martin: I like four better than five thousand.
