- What's it worth to you to turn your considerable talents back to the gutter you crawled out of?

- Name a price.

- And you'll try it on for size, huh? Oh, you're cute. You oughta know better than anyone what it's worth.

- I set my fee according to the case. And the longer I look at this one, the higher it gets.

- Oh, it does, huh?

- Maybe you'd like to make an exploratory offer just to get the ball rolling.

- Okay, Mr. Hammer. It's been nice talking to you, Mr. Hammer.

- Drop around again sometime.

- When I do, maybe I'll have a better notion of what my fee is.

- It's too late to set a fee, Mr. Hammer. Suddenly it's too late.

- Oh, I been out here three times already, and this dame keeps brushing me off. I gotta make a livin' too.

- Aw, send somebody else. How much can a guy take? Look, I tell ya I'm not comin' out again. You can get somebody else. There's other guys around here.

- Guy could get a heart attack walking up here.

- Who invited ya?

- Follow your ear.

- Thank you.
