[first lines]
Adam Langer : [walking out of an airplane] Jennifer, have the contracts on the Transpact deal typed and on my desk in the morning.
Jennifer Holt : Yes, sir.
Adam Langer : Mr. Mannix.
Joe Mannix : That's right.
Adam Langer : Good of you to come. This is Jennifer Holt, my secretary. Mr. Mannix.
Jennifer Holt : Hello. How do you do?
Joe Mannix : How do you do?
Jennifer Holt : You certainly don't look like what I thought a private eye would look like.
Joe Mannix : Well, if that's meant as a compliment, thank you.
Jennifer Holt : You're welcome.
Joe Mannix : You said it was important, Mr. Langer.
Adam Langer : You've come highly recommend. Are you as good as my sources say you are?
Joe Mannix : Now you don't really expect an unprejudiced opinion?
Adam Langer : I just want to be sure I'm hiring the right man.
Joe Mannix : You already decided that, or I wouldn't be here.
Adam Langer : You're not handicapped with false modesty.
Joe Mannix : No. Are you?
Adam Langer : Modest people aren't worth $5 million at age 35.
Joe Mannix : You're worth more than $5 million.
Adam Langer : I'm more than 35. Jennifer.
Jennifer Holt : Yes, sir.
Adam Langer : I'll see you at the office in the morning.
Jennifer Holt : Yes, sir. Goodbye.
Joe Mannix : Goodbye. What did you have in mind, Mr. Langer?
Adam Langer : I want a political figure investigated.
Joe Mannix : Why?
Adam Langer : For reasons of my own. I want you to dog up every rotten thing you can find out about him, anything that could be used as a smear.
Joe Mannix : Sorry, Mr. Langer. I don't do that sort of thing. And somehow, I didn't figure it to be your style.
Adam Langer : You're right. It isn't. But I'm making an exception in this case. I hope you will, too.
Joe Mannix : It depends on the reason.
Adam Langer : I want you to dog deep, deep enough to destroy him of you can.
Joe Mannix : Who is this man?
Adam Langer : Me.
