• Christopher Pepper : [the Inspector had just called him "Mr. Salt"]  I'm Pepper, he's Salt.

  Inspector Crabbe : Odd.

  Charles Salt : Isn't it?

• Charles Salt : Colonel. Colonel, let's get one thing straight now, huh? We don't want to get mixed up in this thing. I can give you four good reasons why we don't want to get mixed up in this thing: One, it ain't any of our business. Two, we're night club operators. Three, if you want secret agents, then go get James Bond or those two guys on television; the one that plays tennis, you know? Four, our dance card is filled. So, ciao, Colonel. Let's get out of here.

• Charles Salt : I mean, it's a nice place to visit, but I don't want to die here.

• Charles Salt : Well, as I always say, Colonel: "Better to live poor than to die rich."

• [Charles Salt and Christopher Pepper are sitting down and watching Marianne Renaud dance with a gentleman friend in their night club] 

  Christopher Pepper : I just don't understand it. Why she keeps giving me a hard time? I know that she likes me. It's just something you don't imagine.

  Charles Salt : But Chris, you can imagine anything you want to. I imagined that I saw a dead body in my closet tonight. Why? Because I'm allergic to bodies.

  [a brunette, who's dancing with her back towards Charles Salt and Christopher Pepper, gets nearer and nearer to both of them. Charles Salt notices her] 

  Charles Salt : Well, I mean I could be cured, you know?

  [giggles] 

  Christopher Pepper : I can see what you mean.
