Jennifer Marlowe : [assuredly] Find his weakness.
Andy Travis : What weakness?
Jennifer Marlowe : I've never met a man who didn't have one.
Andy Travis : Well, if you think of something, just let me know, all right?

Andy Travis : [coming back into the room] What?
Bailey Quarters : The Internal Revenue Service.
Andy Travis : What have you got in mind?
Bailey Quarters : [in a bashful tone] Oh, I don't know, Andy. It's probably a lousy idea.
Andy Travis : Oh, come on, Bailey, now is not the time to get shy on us.
Bailey Quarters : [not facing Andy and Jennifer in her unconfidence] Well, I can't help it.
Jennifer Marlowe : Come on, Bailey, speak up a little.
Bailey Quarters : [intermittently nervously giggling throughout her explanation] Well, uhm, if it were me, uhm, I'd invite Mr. Little Ed in, you know, to see you and Mr. Carlson, and then I'd just, you know, mention all those things that he sells, like those St. Peter and Paul spice racks. Then I'd... I'd really let him have it. I'd tell him that he was a sham and a crook and that he does a disservice to every honest evangelist in this country. And just when he's getting really mad, I hit him with an IRS audit right between those beady little eyes. That'd cool him off real good. Uh, of course, I'm probably wrong.
Jennifer Marlowe : What do you think, Andy?
Andy Travis : Well, that's a pretty mean trick.
Jennifer Marlowe : It's too mean.
Andy Travis : Good idea, though.
Jennifer Marlowe : It's perfect.
Andy Travis : Get the good Reverend on the phone now, will we?
Bailey Quarters : [as Jennifer reaches for the telephone receiver] You two ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
