- Karen Ballard: There is nothing improbable about my husband's theory, Mr. Bradley! It was a brilliant deduction of all the known facts.
- Gene Bradley: My condolences. But according to the Master, there are some gaps.
- Karen Ballard: Well, if you're dealing with events that happened 50,000 years ago, there are bound to be gaps! Apparently, the academic establishment couldn't grasp that fact.
- Gene Bradley: He pay you a lot of loot?
- Bill Marks: Right. Wanted me to arrange a flare up. Wanted to disappear from the wife, he said.
- Gene Bradley: What about the body? Police found remains.
- Bill Marks: There wasn't any body. I can tell ya, it was the first time I've driven a car with a skeleton sitting down beside me!
- Gene Bradley: I don't know where your husband is at the moment, Mrs. Ballard. But I know he didn't die in that crash. You know that too.
- Mr. Parminter: [discussing Carl Gardner] He's a very sharp dealer.
- Gene Bradley: What does he play?
- Mr. Parminter: Practically anything, but his specialty is exporting antiquities to other countries of Europe.
- Gene Bradley: Old ones?
- Mr. Parminter: Yes, oh, yes. Antique antiquities, you might say.
