Nick : [Tanya has just read Tony's note, in which he told her he's left. She's now at the mercy of Nick] You thought he loved you. Forget him. He's no good! Beautiful... I'm not going to hurt you. I'm going to give you a nice job. Ah, that countess, she's getting too old. But you'll be an ornament to the place.
Tanya Borodoff : Let me out of here!
Nick : You can shriek in here for three weeks, and nobody will ever hear you. It was a question of you, or a cargo of guns. And you lost! I'm having your trunk sent to your room. From now on, this is your home!
Tanya Borodoff : I'll show you, you lying coolie!
Nick : Hmm?
[slaps her across the face]
Nick : You'll change your mind.
[walks out of the room]

Tony Evans : You've got me in a tough spot, Nick.
Nick : No. You got yourself in a tough spot. You tried to get along without me and you do what you call, "loose your shirt." It isn't my fault.

Nick : Aren't you tired of her?
Tony Evans : No. She's different.
Nick : Exactly! That's why I'm going to make her my hostess here.
Tony Evans : Hostess?
Nick : Yes.
Tony Evans : If I left her here, what makes you think she's going to stay?
Nick : I'll take my chances. I'm in a position to bargain, you're not. Go and buy your guns in Singapore - if you can find someone who'll give you credit. In another month you won't own that fine yacht out there. You'll be ashore, busted, with a woman hanging around your neck.

Col. Thomas Dawson - Police Commissioner : Well, Nick, I suppose you know why you're here.
Nick : Yes, I know. It's Spot White. Now, Colonel, I...
Col. Thomas Dawson - Police Commissioner : It's the third time you've been up for that woman's pranks.
Nick : Oh, she's so playful, so full of spirits...
Col. Thomas Dawson - Police Commissioner : She goes on the boat tonight.
Nick : Back to Russia? Colonel...
Col. Thomas Dawson - Police Commissioner : I thought she was French? Well, that's her misfortune.
