Stuart Bailey: [speaking into a dictation machine microphone] One man outta jail, another man in by 2 a.m. And then I made the mistake of grabbing a late flight back - milk run; landing and takeoff every 20 minutes. Final expense was for my desk. Total 'em up; send the bill to Boss Gates. I hafta go back for the grand jury hearing on Nolan, but, well, we'll bill the local authorities. Gates has been generous enough already. Uh, enough of that. My head feels like a bargain basement after a rummage sale. I got a few bruises I didn't have yesterday. When I wake up I'm... I'm gonna think of a better way to make a buck.

Kookie & Jeff:

Stuart Bailey: [speaking into microphone of dictation machine] So bonus baby Joe Fiore is gonna get his chance to become a baseball great. I hope he makes it. If only for the kick his father gets out of it, and his grandmother, also know as Sweetie Pie. And the Malatestas are in the very capable hands of the police. That's all, Hannah. Except the next time you see me, remind me never to work on Sunday.

Kookie:

Hannah: [on the telephone] Momma? Pick you up in five minutes. Mr Bailey is buying dinner.

Stuart:

Stuart Bailey: If Macy's can't come up with something, it's all right to try Gimbels.

Stuart Bailey: [in his office, speaking into a dictation machine microphone] And that's when the merry-to-round stopped, so I got off and came home. I haven't collected my fee yet, but I'm not worried. The oil was there, just as Sam said it would be. And, um, between you and me, Hannah, this is one case that paid off in something better than money, which is very upsetting to a man in my profession. And If you ever quote me on that, to anybody, you're fired.

Stuart Bailey: The book begins, "Call me Ishmael". What is it in the ironic tides that engulf the lives of great and dedicated men? I know what I'd like to believe. I'd like to believe that those whom the gods would honor, they must first destroy. Well, that ties this one up, Hannah. Oh, uh, don't expect me in this afternoon. I'm... I'm taking a kid to a ball game.

Kookie:

Show me a happy loser and I'll show you an idiot without money.

Pierre D'Albert: [after finding out that they're on an island that's the target of an h-bomb test] We cannot die like this. We've got to get away. Somehow. We've got to.
Stuart Bailey: Still a long way from daybreak. We've got a signal fire. While waiting for the search planes, maybe we can figure something out.
Dave Connell: Look, there. I just spotted it in the sun's glare. Is that another island? It's even smaller than this one. It must be a good ten miles or so away.
Stuart Bailey: Maybe we could float a raft, or swim there with our life jackets.
Pierre D'Albert: Not ...

Bessie St. Clair: Hello, this is Bessie St. Clair - - I am calling you for the purpose of blackmail.

Stuart Bailey: Wait a minute! Who are you?
Hannah: Ah Hannah! From Hannah Steno Service down the hall!
Stuart Bailey: Hannah?
Hannah: We never met! I've just seen you coming and going!
Stuart Bailey: But the lady I made arrangements with to type my notes was...!
[abruptly interrupted]
Hannah: My mother! We run the service together!
Hannah: Oh she's Hannah!

Stuart Bailey: [speaking into the microphone of a dictation machine] Well, that wraps it up, Hannah. Make the closing date September 22. Three copies - one to be mailed to Mrs. Jane Patterson, 164 Ridgelawn Street, Woodbine, California. When you bill Mrs. Patterson, discount it by a hundred dollars and note it as my contribution to the Marco Costa scholarship that she started. And in your romantic file, make a note that maybe one day Marco will grow up to be a great man and go back and find Sharin, though you've probably already done that. Good night, Hannah.

Kookie: I really dig that beat. The flip side swings pretty good too.

Benin: Mr. Kookson would you be kind enough to tell me, what is a flip side?

Kookie: Well I'm sorry well it's uh the groove platter, you sort of...

Benin: Mr. Kookson just what country are you from?

Kookie: You'd be surprised how many people ask me that question.

Stuart Bailey: Wait a minute! Who are you?
