- Now, Mrs. Colbert, now, don't you worry about a thing. Believe me, we're gonna take care of everything.

- I wanna see you come through this now. You hear?

- Even if we have to step on Endicott's toes?

- Even that. But do it fast.

- All right.

- Now, Bill, uh, how 'bout this here Negro officer? Miss Colbert seems to have a lot of confidence in him.

- Oh, he ain't nothin'. He's some kind of a... some kind of a homicide expert. But I don't need him.

- You mean you don't want him. But you do need him.

- Now look, Bill. Suppose he turns up the killer. He has no police powers here. He's gonna have to hand him over on a platter, right?

- That's right.

- And if he fails, you're off the hook, 'cause it was Miss Colbert's idea in the first place. See what I mean?

- Oh, yeah.

- Works out all the way around, Bill, for all of us. Excuse me.
