Gordon Evers : Charming.
[taking the cards]
Gordon Evers : Would you like to look at them, Hector?
Hector Stribling : Certainly not!
Gordon Evers : How much are they?

Gordon Evers : There you are.
Man Selling French Postcards : Merci m'sieur. Merci.

Gordon Evers : Darling, are you quite sure this isn't heaven?
Sarah Cazenove : I'm quite sure it is.
Gordon Evers : What do you think, Hector?
Hector Stribling : Bless you, my children, but don't deceive yourselves. This not heaven. It's too infernally hot.

Hector Stribling : You're a queer duck, Gordon. You've a future before you if you'd only follow it up. Those last cases I sent you, you handled brilliantly. And suddenly-this sort of thing. Why don't you come back to London with us tomorrow? I can get you a dozen briefs!
Gordon Evers : I'm through with London. I may go out to the East again, Doctor says England's too damp for me.
Hector Stribling : Nonsense. Think of your work.
Gordon Evers : My dear Hector, I've no intention of spending the rest of my life in an ill-ventilated courtroom waiting for twelve total strangers to make up their minds.
Hector Stribling : Oh, you'll never succeed at anything with that kind of attitude.
Gordon Evers : I shall succeed in keeping out of courtrooms.
Hector Stribling : Are you coming with us tonight or aren't you?
Gordon Evers : No.
[pause]
Gordon Evers : Is it white tie or dinner jacket?
Hector Stribling : Dinner jacket.
Gordon Evers : Then I shall come. You see, my valet ran away with my evening dress.
Hector Stribling : Why not call the police; have the fellow arrested?
Gordon Evers : Wearing evening dress is punishment enough.
