- Ramsey Tate: Make a move, Mannix, and you're dead. Turn around.
- [Joe turns around slowly]
- Ramsey Tate: Slowly now, with your left hand, lose your gun on the floor.
- [Joe drops his gun on the floor]
- Ramsey Tate: Turn around and take a step forward easy.
- [Joe turns around and takes one step forward]
- Ramsey Tate: That's enough. Now, what's your business with Raphael?
- Joe Mannix: Who?
- Ramsey Tate: Come on. Bruno Raphael.
- Joe Mannix: Raphael? I didn't know him before they ran him out of the country. I certainly wouldn't have any business with him now. I came here to see a Mr. Baxter. He called.
- Ramsey Tate: All right, Mannix, alright. We can have it friendly, or we can have it tough. You're a private cop. You're working for Raphael.
- Joe Mannix: I told you, I'm not.
- Ramsey Tate: Oh, he's been here, hasn't he? Staked out here in this place?
- [Joe doesn't answer]
- Ramsey Tate: He's in L.A.!
- Joe Mannix: You're going at this all wrong, friend.
- Ramsey Tate: [smiles] All right. Count three.
- [aims his gun at Joe]
- Ramsey Tate: Let's hear it!
- Joe Mannix: You're making a big mistake.
- Ramsey Tate: You said, "one," right?
- Joe Mannix: I can't tell you anything.
- Ramsey Tate: You said, "two."
- [cocks his gun]
- Joe Mannix: All right. Hold it. Hold it. Maybe, uh, there is one thing.
- [Tate uncocks his gun, only for Joe to lunge at him and fight]
- Bruno Raphael: Mr. Mannix... I don't send for you to come to this house in, uh...
- Joe Mannix: Pasadena.
- Bruno Raphael: Yeah. No, I never even heard of you before my friend telephoned and told me what happened. You have my word.
- Joe Mannix: Of course.
- Bruno Raphael: Now that we have talked, was it like my voice?
- Joe Mannix: Yes, it was.
- Bruno Raphael: They have that much knowledge of me then?
- Joe Mannix: Apparently.
- Bruno Raphael: But why? Why would they want to call you?
- Joe Mannix: That's one of my questions.
- Bruno Raphael: You don't believe me, huh?
- Joe Mannix: Frankly, Mr. Raphael, at this point, I don't know what to believe.
- Bruno Raphael: No matter. You are a very serious man. I'm glad she has you, my granddaughter.
- Joe Mannix: Thanks.
- Bruno Raphael: When I hear about this attack on my granddaughter, I... I'm shocked. Do you understand? In my time, it could not be. Oh, never could such a thing happen. It is these young men today. They have no respect. No traditions. They will pay. You will take me to see Susan, please.
- Joe Mannix: Mr. Raphael, there are other ways you can help.
- Bruno Raphael: If you want my help, you will take me to her.
