• Alain Charnier : [the two are duck hunting]  We should decide the matter of the rendezvous, a place to meet after you have made the delivery.

  Brigidier General William Brian, Charnier's Accomplice : How's New York?

  Alain Charnier : [laughs slightly]  You know better than that, William. New York is hazardous to your health, at least to MY health. But it is an amusing city.

  [shouts a command in French] 

  Brigidier General William Brian, Charnier's Accomplice : How did you do it,if it's not a secret?

  Alain Charnier : Oh, it was very simple and very droll. 83 policemen wanted to talk to me, and 52 of them chose to talk to my money instead.I love a city where you always know where you stand.
