- Tom Ogburn: I didn't know you'd met.
- Jim Hardie: Once or twice too often. Is he a friend of yours?
- Tom Ogburn: I wouldn't exactly say he was a friend.
- Jim Hardie: I wouldn't exactly want to.
- Jim Hardie: What can I do for you?
- Webb McCloy: We all heard what you said about Nick Breese. I'm going to ask you to make it plainer. He *is* a friend of mine.
- Jim Hardie: That's your problem.

- Jim Hardie: An interesting one, anyway.
