James Phelps : The only thing at stake here is one man's life. He happens to be a friend of mine. We'll be improvising all along the way, according to what...

Barney Collier : Jim, we're wasting time.

James Phelps : Now, understand, Barney. This could be as dangerous as anything I've ever put you through.

Willy Armitage : Jim, I...

James Phelps : No, Willy, let me finish, please. The problem is purely personal. It's mine. None of you has to get involved at all.

Barney Collier : Are you finished now?

James Phelps : Yes.

Rollin Hand : Good. Jim, not often, but sometimes, you talk too much.

David Webster : I'm not afraid to die. That isn't it. It's dying *this way*. I didn't kill that guy, Jim. You believe me?

James Phelps : Of course I believe you. I wouldn't be here if I didn't. We grew up together, David. If there's one thing I know, it's that you didn't kill a man in cold blood.

James Phelps : I've been praying. Maybe you're the answer.
Edmund Constantine : Webster killed George Corley for a piece of jewelry worth 10 million dollars.

James Phelps : What this uh... this crown thing?

Edmund Constantine : This "crown thing" was worn by the Empress Theodora in the fifth century. Six months ago it was stolen from the Athens state museum by George Corley.
