Quotes 

• Gillian Bromley : [Rhodes has been coming on to her, trying to impress her with a Cary Grant impersonation]  You can't be serious!

  Jack Rhodes : [Still doing "Cary Grant" impersonation]  Why, I've never been more serious in my life.

  Gillian Bromley : Why are you imitating Tony Curtis?

  Jack Rhodes : [Normal voice]  I'm not imitating Tony Curtis, I'm imitating Cary Grant.

  Gillian Bromley : You're doing Tony Curtis doing Cary Grant...

  Jack Rhodes : [Deflated]  Oh...

  Gillian Bromley : Cary Grant doesn't even do "Cary Grant" any more.

• Gillian Bromley : It doesn't trouble you that blackmail is, in fact, against the law?

  Chief Insp. Cyril Willis : Policemen are constantly breaking the law. It's one of the many ways we have of upholding it.

• Gillian Bromley : I have absolutely NO intention of passing on the date of that shipment.

  Chief Insp. Cyril Willis : Well, let me put it another way. Do the names Halliday, Hornfield, Kinnersley and Drampton mean anything to you?

  Gillian Bromley : Uh, no, I don't follow you.

  Chief Insp. Cyril Willis : They're all women's prisons. Oh, there's a fairly large selection of them available in this country. But I think I should point out, they DO have one thing in common: they are ALL poisonously unpleasant.

  Gillian Bromley : [Wavering somewhat]  I'll manage, somehow... Others have.

  Chief Insp. Cyril Willis : Yes... Well, let me draw a persuasive little picture for you. Where you will be going, they have the oddest notions of hospitality. First, they shave your head. Then, they delouse you, feed you with something a ravenous crocodile would pass up, then, lock you up for the night with unfriendly lesbian companions - and you have your own "private" little chamber pot under the bed. Oh, it is very unpleasant, I know. That's why I urge you to reflect whether you shouldn't save yourself all that misery, by passing on the date to Mr. Rhodes... Well, take your time. Reflect well.

  Gillian Bromley : [after giving it a mere moment of thought]  I've taken my time and I've reflected well.

  Chief Insp. Cyril Willis : And?

  Gillian Bromley : I've decided to save myself all that misery - I'll pass on the date.

  Chief Insp. Cyril Willis : Splendid.

  Gillian Bromley : When is it?

  Chief Insp. Cyril Willis : You'll get it in a day or two. Run along, now.

  Gillian Bromley : [Stops at the door on her way out]  Oh, Inspector, I thought I might send you a little present: a kitten. They're ever such a lot of fun if you strangle them right.

• Gillian Bromley : [She and Rhodes have disguised themselves as Arabs, and have just cleared airport Customs inspection. Rhodes did his best to sound like an "Arab."]  That was the worst Peter Sellers I have ever heard.

  Jack Rhodes : I wasn't doing Peter Sellers - I was doing Peter Sellers doing Omar Sharif!

• Gillian Bromley : This may be a silly question, but if we are successful how do we then go about converting the stones into cash?

  Nigel Lawton : Well, that's exactly what Jack's the best at.

  Gillian Bromley : [grinning]  Not as far as I'm concerned.

• Jack Rhodes : Did you have any problems getting the plane?

  Nigel Lawton : No, one has one's friends. Here's the lease. You'll be pleased to see that we're a Panamanian corporation.

  Jack Rhodes : Based in Beirut.

  Nigel Lawton : With a Liechtenstein charter.

  Gillian Bromley : Did you remember to write "diamond thieves"?

  Nigel Lawton : No, no. I put "dope smugglers". Didn't want to arouse suspicion.
