Scott Marlowe: Turner Dabney

Quotes 

• Joe Mannix : Mr. Dabney?

  Turner Dabney : Yeah. What do you want?

  Joe Mannix : You got change for a twenty?

  Turner Dabney : No, I...

  [Joe takes a phony $20 bill out of his pocket] 

  Turner Dabney : Treasury?

  Joe Mannix : No. The name is Mannix. Mrs. Hamilton is very worried about you.

  Turner Dabney : Betty... Betty sent you here?

  Joe Mannix : She's trying to help you. I was hired by a Mr. Brasher, who sent one of his men over to take a couple of shots at Mrs. Hamilton.

  Turner Dabney : You mean they tried to kill her?

  Joe Mannix : Well, she's all right. You're the one who's in trouble. Seems Mr. Brasher wants all that lovely green your plates can make.

  Turner Dabney : Well, those plates are mine.

  Joe Mannix : Yeah. How much did you print up?

  Turner Dabney : Uh... printed a little bit more than a million. They wouldn't let me live the way I wanted to, so I just... I had to get away.

  Joe Mannix : Let me tell you something. All that money you printed up isn't worth a plug nickel. You got no organization, no distributors, no way to launder it. And now the Treasury Department is on the lookout for every one of those bills. I'd say that you've got only one thing you can do.

  Turner Dabney : What's that?

  Joe Mannix : Turn the whole bag over to the Treasury. Plates, money, everything.

  Turner Dabney : [stammers]  They'll put me in jail.

  Joe Mannix : Well, now, when you started your little printing business, you must have known that there was some risk involved. Now, if you'll help keep those plates away from Brasher, maybe the law will go easy on you.

  [airplane engine starts] 

  Turner Dabney : Oh, maybe you're right. Things are in the plane. The money and everything.

  [suddenly takes out a gun] 

  Turner Dabney : Okay, Mr. Mannix. Get in. Come on!

  [Mannix gets into the plane]
