• [first lines] 

  Richard Diamond : I'm a very busy guy. The phone has a pleasant habit of ringing and on the other end of the line somebody has a problem they want me to solve. Now this is always very pleasing to me because that somebody with a problem is also a somebody who ends up giving me a nice fat check.

• Richard Diamond : That's quite a torch you're carrying, ma'am.

  Nancy : Yeah. What can I do about it?

  Richard Diamond : Well, I don't know. If it's true love, I guess nothing.

  Nancy : What else could it be?

  Richard Diamond : Injured pride? If that's the case, you'll walk out on Marty one of these days, take a trip someplace, start all over again.

  Nancy : [Nods]  You're quite a philosopher.
