Tony : Mr. Smith, 30,00? That's pretty good money.
Victor Maynard : Yes it is.
Tony : I mean, I know it's dangerous. But I seem to be getting the hang of that side of things. So me, being you apprentice, I thought we could put that on a more format footing? So, I could get a cut?
Victor Maynard : Okay, here's the... thing. I can offer you six weeks' training, suspect observation, fake identities, a complete range of weapon skills, handguns, sniper rifle, knives, explosives, the 17 methods of strangulation, and basic untraceable poisons.
Tony : You need to know all that to be a private detective?
Victor Maynard : You never know who you might be up against.
