- Morgan Carpenter: [sitting across from Joe at Hippeland] What do you say, man? Like the rag?
- Joe Mannix: You got something to do with it?
- Morgan Carpenter: Everything, baby. Everything. Editor, publisher, star reporter.
- [stretches out his hand for Joe to shake]
- Morgan Carpenter: Name's, uh, Morgan Carpenter.
- Joe Mannix: [lifts his hand to shake Carpenter's] Oh, uh, Mannix. Joe Mannix.
- Morgan Carpenter: Mannix. Yeah. Insurance business, right, huh?
- Joe Mannix: Hey, that's great. How'd you know?
- Morgan Carpenter: I'm a reporter, man. It's my business to know people. You dig?
- [chuckles]
- Morgan Carpenter: Besides, a lady named Cindy Gier called. Said I should keep an eye out for you. Pretty wild, huh?
- Joe Mannix: Oh, yeah. She's great. Yeah great.
- [pointing to a lady dancing behind Carpenter]
- Joe Mannix: She's not bad either.
- Morgan Carpenter: Want me to fix you up with her, huh?
- Joe Mannix: Oh, maybe some other time, huh? Right now, I'm looking for Jill Bonnet.
- Morgan Carpenter: How's that, man?
- Joe Mannix: [speaking louder] Jill Bonnet!
- [pause]
- Joe Mannix: You know where I can find her?
