• [last lines] 

  Claudia Bromley : Oh Britt you have no adventure in your soul.

  Britt Reid : Running a newspaper is enough for me. Eat your dinner.

  Claudia Bromley : You know I have a feeling The Green Hornet isn't as bad as people say he is. He was so polite.

  Britt Reid : And tall and handsome...

  Claudia Bromley : Oh, much taller than you. There I was, tied up, helpless, about to become another victim of Colony and his gang when out of the darkness came the Green Hornet! I hope he never gets caught, but if he does, I shall defend him for nothing.

  Britt Reid : I'm sure he'll be delighted.

• Lenore Case : It's a she-type lawyer: Miss Claudia Bromley.

  Claudia Bromley : Britt, darling!

  Britt Reid : Er... that'll be all, Miss Case.

  Lenore Case : Yes, Mr. Reid. I'll be just outside if you need anything.

• Britt Reid : Good story. Except for one small detail.

  Mike Axford : What do you mean? I got everything. Sweek not showing up, the Green Hornet... everything.

  Britt Reid : You left out a word.

  Mike Axford : WHERE?

  [grabs paper and read it aloud] 

  Mike Axford : This reporter, on way to buy information from Joe Sweek that states Alex Colony, an injury insurance claimant, had been faking his injuries...

  Britt Reid : HOLD IT. Right there.

  Mike Axford : What did I forget?

  Britt Reid : The money word: alleged! And that's trouble. EXPENSIVE trouble.

• Alex Colony : You don't frighten me. If I were free of these I could break your neck.

  Britt Reid : Just Like Joe Sweek?

  Alex Colony : I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a sick man. Why don't you leave me alone?

• Alex Colony : You keep breaking in here, making these ridiculous accusations. Of course I didn't kidnap my attorney. Why don't you ask Britt Reid about it. He's got more to gain by getting her out of the way.

  Britt Reid : What if I was to tell you Reid's answer was the same as your's?

  Alex Colony : Which one of us are you going to believe?

  Britt Reid : Reid is a legitimate businessman. You're not.

  Alex Colony : And what are you? Mr Good Guy?

  Britt Reid : That little remark will cost you an extra 10%.

  Alex Colony : I don't know what you're talking about. Ah, if it weren't for these sticks, I could tear you apart.

  Britt Reid : Now, it's 60/40.

  Alex Colony : I don't scare.

  Britt Reid : The tip of your cane's missing.

  Alex Colony : I'll get another one.

  Britt Reid : No need to. I found it. On the floor of the custom car shop.

  Alex Colony : What car shop? Those tips are made by the thousands.

  Britt Reid : [Colony runs out of the room and vaults over the balcony wall]  Let him go. We found our man in black.

  Kato : Why did you let him get away?

  Britt Reid : We have to get him and Claudia at the same time.

• Britt Reid : Wrap them for delivery Kato.

• Britt Reid : The Green Hornet doesn't like competition. Shall we? The law and I don't see eye-to-eye.
