- Thornton Richardson: Do you see that empty frame? Before long, it will contain one million dollars' worth of Rembrandt.
- The Green Hornet: IF Reid pays.
- Thornton Richardson: He will. I set him up perfectly, with every step falling into place.
- The Green Hornet: Every step but one: you now have a partner.
- Thornton Richardson: What if I refuse?
- The Green Hornet: Then that frame might contain a portrait of you. Edged in black. I'll be in touch. When Reid pays.
- Steve: What are you going to do about him?
- Thornton Richardson: He doesn't frighten me.
- Steve: Well, nobody's ever beaten him.
- Thornton Richardson: Nobody's ever used a laser beam against him. He tries to interfere, it'll be HIS portrait in that frame... edged in black.
