The Crown Jewel Caper (1972)

John Gunn: Tom Chan

Quotes 

• Alan Chan : I'll bet they're talking about the jewel robbery.

  Anne Chan : You know Pop has taught us never to be nosy. Besides, how can we hear through that thick wall?

  Tom Chan : Aural conductance can be significantly amplified using crystal cylinders.

  Anne Chan : I wonder what it'd be like if we had a brother who spoke English.

  Alan Chan : He said you can listen by putting a glass against the wall.

  Susie Chan : But we all have better manners than that.

  [Suzie notices all her siblings have left the table and are each putting a glass against the wall to eavesdrop] 

• Anne Chan : Look, I'll climb up the tree and you can throw me the rope.

  Tom Chan : Unnecessarily complex. I will merely encircle the nearest perpendicular limb.

  [Tom tosses up the lasso rope, but it falls back down on him] 

  Anne Chan : Now do I climb up?

  Alan Chan : I'll do it. Boys are better climbers.

  Anne Chan : Any questions?

  [Anne is already in the tree] 

  Tom Chan : Here's the rope... Cheetah!

  [the rope is tossed up to Anne]
