Quotes from

Matthew Stoker: Now, Mr. Archer, suppose we entertain each other while my wife makes a brief search of the premises.
Gilbert Archer: Certainly. You play gin?
[Archer stands up to reach for a cigarette lighter. Stoker pushes the gun barrel into his chest. Archer motions toward a table]
Gilbert Archer: Lighter!
[Stoker tries to light it with no success]
Gilbert Archer: May I?
[He uses the lighter to knock the gun out of Stoker's hand]
Gilbert Archer: You need a refresher course, Reverend, at whatever seminary it was that you went to. Out!
Matthew Stoker: Very neat, Mr. Archer. Very neat, indeed. I've allowed myself to grow rather rusty. I'm afraid it comes from putting too much faith in my assistants.
[Stoker's assistant Rausch appears suddenly and knocks Archer unconscious]
Matthew Stoker: Such an impetuous young man.
[Speaking to his wife]
Matthew Stoker: Proceed, my dear.
[Speaking to Rausch]
Matthew Stoker: If Mr. Archer shows any signs of activity, Rausch, make him comfortable.


Matthew Stoker: Mr. Archer, I must ask you to forgive this early call, but it's most urgent that we speak with you at once.
Gilbert Archer: What do you want?
Matthew Stoker: I'm sorry, but we must talk to you. It's about some rare Bibles.
Gilbert Archer: Come in. How'd you get past the clerk at the desk?
Matthew Stoker: We didn't, Mr. Archer. The freight elevator was dirty but convenient.
Gilbert Archer: [Looking warily at the man's ministerial collar] You're not a clergyman.
Matthew Stoker: We are missionaries, Mr. Archer.
Gilbert Archer: Did somebody recommend me as a prospect?


Rev. George Bradford: [Rausch walks in] You brought everything, Rausch?
[He nods]
Rev. George Bradford: Good work. I'm glad you got here all right.
Gilbert Archer: Mr. Helms got here all right too, didn't he - in the trunk.
Matthew Stoker: You know that too, Mr. Archer?
Gilbert Archer: Yeah, I know that. You came back to Helms' apartment to get rid of the trunk, but you found me there when you arrived. I found the trunk ready to be shipped, yet two of his suits were still hanging in his closet. Obviously there wasn't room for them. I still wasn't sure, but when you were so eager to have Helms' belongings taken to your home, I was convinced his body was in the trunk.
Rev. George Bradford: Right. The trunk is here now, and tonight it'll be at the bottom of the East River. Maybe you'll be there too, Archer.
Matthew Stoker: But first, Mr. Archer, we're going to your apartment, and you're going to tell the desk clerk to get that missing page out of the safe. After we've conducted our business, you may find that trunk a bit cramped, but you won't mind the inconvenience - then.
[the police come in]
Gilbert Archer: I completely forgot to tell you. The police were following the trunk.
