00:05:27 Mr. Kaplan?
00:11:01 Your friends picked up the wrong package when they bundled me out here in the car.
00:18:12 -All right. Let's just go inside. -I don't want to go inside.
00:21:38 It was at this point that Mr. Thornhill succeeded in escaping...
00:25:19 I knew I should've served dinner earlier.
00:29:56 Out in the hall a couple of minutes ago. Don't you remember?
00:35:27 Did you have an appointment, sir?
00:39:35 And the unsuspecting Townsend winds up with a stray knife in his back.
00:43:34 Sure. Sure.
00:49:36 Don't worry.
00:53:22 Is that his name? Thornhill?
00:58:02 Yes, ma'am. I've been looking for it.
01:05:12 Fine. I'll rent a car.
01:19:28 Maybe I copied them down wrong.

01:27:51 I'll bet you paid plenty for this little piece of sculpture.
01:34:12 Save it for the stationhouse.
01:38:07 I see. What's all this got to do with Mt. Rushmore?
01:43:00 Good afternoon, Mr. Kaplan.
01:47:40 I couldn't tell you.
01:51:15 If you can't lick the Vandamms of this world...
01:58:58 ...to one's right arm?
02:05:36 We'd better get moving.
