David Janssen: Richard Diamond

Quotes 

• Richard Diamond : Mrs. Marquis, why don't you come by my office tomorrow and we'll discuss it.

  Janet : But he may be dead by then!

  Richard Diamond : Who may be dead?

  Janet : Eddie, my husband. Last night someone took a shot at him. Luckily whoever it was missed.

  Richard Diamond : Well have you ever thought of calling the police? They're very interested in that sort of thing.

• Richard Diamond : Just one thing. By profession I'm naturally suspicious. I know a wife sometimes has plenty of good reasons to get rid of her husband.

  Janet : Now you don't really think that I would hire you if I had anything to do with it, do you?

  Richard Diamond : Well, it's been done.
