Jamie Tennyson : Uh, Colonel, I would like to have that check certified and placed on deposit in my name, a photostat of it available, and witnessed by every member of this club.
Col. Archie Taylor : That might be the usual procedure in a Fish Market or a Pawn Shop, but not in this Club and not with me. My credit is well known and so is my Honor as every member here will vouch for. There will be no check placed on deposit. You'll have to take my word.
Jamie Tennyson : I see. It's my courage against your credit. Well, a year from tomorrow night, both can be proved.

Jamie Tennyson : Well, may I ask what is the reason for this wager?
Col. Archie Taylor : What I'm about to say might horrify the average person. But to someone as insensitive as you, it probably won't mean a thing. I dislike you intensely, Tennyson.

George Alfred : Tennyson, I've known Colonel Taylor for a long time. This is not a capricious man. I warn you, he's is in deadly earnest.
Jamie Tennyson : Do you know my Wife, Sir? Her name is Doris. She's a lovely thing, frail, beautiful, fragile. Like a Cameo Brooch. But her tastes run to unfragile things, sizable baubles for sizable price tags. She shops at Tiffany's the way other women enter a Supermarket. My miserable misfortune is that I happen to be very much in love with her. I am also desperate in need of money. I may sound melodramatic, but it happens to be true.
