• Larry Ballentine : [Greta is helping Larry pack a suitcase]  I guess I'd better tell you, Greta. This is more than just a trip to Montreal.

  Greta Ballentine : I know.

  Larry Ballentine : I'm leaving... for good.

  Greta Ballentine : [continues packing, unfazed by Larry's revelation]  Did you remember to pack your gold cuff links?

• Cahill : Mr. Ballentine, you're the defendant in this case, are you not?

  Larry Ballentine : I am.

  Cahill : Are you willing to describe for the jury - to describe truthfully - the events which led to the placement of that charge?

  Larry Ballentine : I certainly am.

  Cahill : To the jury, please.

• Larry Ballentine : You were a good sport about that, Greta.

  Greta Ballentine : Maybe that's my trouble. To be a good sport you always have to lose.
