Quotes 

• Frank Marr : [reading the newspaper about Art Malcolm's murder]  You did very well last night, Mannix.

  Joe Mannix : Did I?

  Frank Marr : Mm. I have a simpler job for you today.

  Joe Mannix : I'm not using a gun again.

  Frank Marr : No, no, no guns.

  Joe Mannix : What's the job?

  Frank Marr : Well, you're going to meet a man and arrange a purchase for me.

  Joe Mannix : Why me?

  Frank Marr : Well, there are several reasons. First: you cannot be connected with me in any way. Two: you are now not only a fugitive, but a murderer. And three: I have your gun, which even an amateur ballistics man could match with the bullet that killed Lieutenant Malcolm. So you see, you are the perfect go-between.

  Joe Mannix : Hm. Who do I meet?

  Frank Marr : His name is, um... Mr. Green.

  [shows Joe a slip of paper] 

  Frank Marr : That's the address. And you'll, uh...

  [pulls out a pair of car keys] 

  Frank Marr : ... use the blue sedan out in front. You will tell Mr. Green... the offer is three million.

  Joe Mannix : Three million? That sounds like pure H. There's no way that much stuff could be brought in these days. Not after that bust. There's just too much security.

  Frank Marr : [chuckles]  You know, you're right. It's not being brought in, it's already here. Now you can leave.

  Joe Mannix : What do I get out of all this?

  Frank Marr : [slides Joe the address card]  What you need... wherever you need it.
