Hoppy : Gee, boss, you on television! Why, you could become a big star. Another Jack Benny. Another Bob Hope. Hey, another Mr. Jelly Wobbly.
Simon Templar : Mr. who?
Hoppy : Mr. Jelly Wobbly. He's a big fat old guy who does a kid's show. Well, uh, well, he's my favorite.
Simon Templar : Hoppy, with all due respect. It's just not me. You understand?
Hoppy : Yeah, sure, boss.

Simon Templar : Hoppy, you know me pretty well. Wouldn't you swear unequivocally that I am incapable of an assassination attempt displaying so little artistic integrity?

Simon Templar : Yeah, I think I get the message, Hoppy. You feel tonight's birth of a great new television personality warrants a baptism in alcohol, right?

Nat Grendel : I've had to fight dirty before, Templar, and I will again. A man has to to get from where I started to where I am now. If you want power you've got to take it. You've got to command it until it does what you want it to do. You know what this union of mine is? A bunch of thick-headed cretins who aren't worth sixty cents a week. But I've gotten them two dollars and eighty-five cents an hour, and they should lick my boots for it.
Simon Templar : I'll quote you on that.
