• Blake : How are you, Loomis?

  Loomis : Blake. Good to see you. Can I get you something?

  Blake : [tentatively]  Could I have a dry Martini?

  Loomis : [deadpan]  I shouldn't think so.

• Loomis : Sit down, Old boy.

  Loomis : Was Royce beating you?

  John Craig : Yes.

  Loomis : Until I came and saved you.

  John Craig : He thinks i cheated him.

  Loomis : Cheated? You mean he still believes there are rules?

  John Craig : Oh, yes.

  Loomis : And, er, the girl, the Benson person, did she beat you?

  John Craig : She's just as accurate as I am. But she's quicker. Yes, she beat me.

  Loomis : Do you reckon you're past it?

  John Craig : We're both very good.

  Loomis : Best I've got.

  John Craig : I thought I was the best you had?

  Loomis : You were, son, you were. You killed people nicely. Tidily. That last job spoiled you. Do you still dream about it?

  John Craig : No.

  Loomis : No? Surprise me, Old Man. They really hurt you, those chaps. And they ruined your love life.

  John Craig : What they did to me would ruin anyone's love life.

  Loomis : What are we going to do with you? You do nice paperwork. I got heaps of chaps doing that already. Experts.

  John Craig : You can hardly just let me go, can you?

  Loomis : No. I can't do that. Nobody leaves my department, once they've signed on.
