- Cinnamon Carter: You get all the fun.
- Rollin Hand: On the contrary. I only get to make up. You get to remove all my makeup in front of three men who will kill you if they see what you're doing.
- Cinnamon Carter: They'll kill us both.
- Rollin Hand: So they would.

- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The man you are looking at is Frank Wayne, head of the syndicate, number one man in the vast criminal empire that is corrupting our nation's economy. Wayne has not been content with merely running the rackets and controlling vice and gambling, but has taken over dozens of other heretofore honest businesses. Recently, Wayne launched a system whereby the syndicate's annual income, now over $10 billion, is being deposited in Swiss banks, causing an intolerable drain on U.S. gold reserves. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to get the syndicate's records, which are kept at Wayne's country estate, and see that they are turned over to the proper authorities. And put an end to Frank Wayne and his organization. As always, if you or any of your IM Force should be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This recording will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
