- Alonzo D. Emmerich: What if I told you I've got a plan worked out to get it all? I'd tell them that I could fence the stuff myself, you see, promise them cash on delivery. Then when the time comes, I simply wouldn't have the cash, you understand? I'd tell them it'd take a few more days to raise it. I'm certain I could get them to leave the stuff with me while they're waiting.
- Bob Brannom: Go on.
- Alonzo D. Emmerich: Then I'd disappear. I'd take a plane to another country, to another life. The gold and platinum I could melt up and sell as bullion. And the rocks, sell them one a time. Be no hurry, it'd last a lifetime.
- Bob Brannom: How wrong can a guy be? Here I was worrying about your nerves, and you were dreaming up a double cross like this.
- Alonzo D. Emmerich: Well, how do we raise the money?
- Bob Brannom: Simple. Cobby.
- Alonzo D. Emmerich: Cobby?
- Bob Brannom: Believe me, he can dig it up without half trying.
- Alonzo D. Emmerich: Yes. But what do we tell him? Why would I need money?
- Bob Brannom: Leave it to me. Cobby wants to feel big. Here's his chance: advancing money for the great Alonzo P. Emmerich. Ah, he'll do it. He'll sweat, but he'll do it.
- Alonzo D. Emmerich: Well, what about my debtors? How many of them came through?
- Bob Brannom: Not a one.
- Alonzo D. Emmerich: What's that?
- Bob Brannom: You want all the excuses? I've got some beauts.
- Alonzo D. Emmerich: I'd go easy on that liquor if I were you.
- Bob Brannom: Half-drunk, I got better wits than most people. And more nerve.
