Ralph Valmont : No necklace, no Eva. That's the deal!
Diabolik : Is that the only deal you've got going today, Valmont?
Ralph Valmont : I don't have to talk. I could kill you instead.
Diabolik : Go ahead. All you've got to do is push that button.
[Valmont doesn't push the trapdoor button. Diabolik walks away from the trapdoor towards him]
Diabolik : Valmont, this is most unprofessional.
