Quotes
-
Stranger in Shop : Seven years ago, I took a watch out of your counter here - only I didn't pay for it. Now, uh, I'm not gonna go into the reasons why; it was the only dishonest thing I've ever done. But the day I hocked it, I started making money, and today I'm a wealthy man.
Ernest Stockhoeffer : Well, but... why should you want to...
Stranger in Shop : Tell you about it now? Because I've had it on my conscience all these years. Now, I can't give you back the watch that I took, but, uh... here.
Ernest Stockhoeffer : Well, I'm not sure of the exact amount...
Stranger in Shop : Well, I'm sure that'll cover it. I can't tell you how grateful I am to ya, and how glad I am to get you off of my mind.
