Quotes
Cowley: How is he?
Bodie: He's tired, old, and he's just been shot at.
Doyle: They shot at the car.
Bodie: And missed Batak by inches.
Doyle: Okay, the first one was on target. But the others, once you got out, were all over the place.
Bodie: Don't have to tell me; I felt them.
Doyle: And if a real professional had done that, he'd have stayed on target, wouldn't he, and sprayed the back of the car?
Bodie: Yeah. He'd also have chosen a better place.
Cowley: And the point is, whether or not it was a serious attempt to kill him, it was a successful attempt to get his name wired around the world.
Bodie: We're still denying it, aren't we?
Doyle: Until when?
Cowley: Now that the suspicion is out, hundreds of agents throughout the world are going to be in great danger.
Doyle: Until we confirm it, one way or another.
Bodie: So what are we waiting for?
Cowley: These are some of the returns we've had on some of Batak's answers. They don't all check out.
Anna: Are you another journalist, like him?
Bodie: He's a music reporter.
Anna: Oh. And what are you?
Bodie: Fashion. Haute couture.
