"Go where?" " City hall." "[Typing] Exterminator." "Exterminator?" "We didn't call an exterminator." "You didn't ca..." "This is the building commissioner's office, isn't it?"

"Why, Mr. Albertson, what a pleasant surprise." "Look, I know we don't have an appointment, but, uh, do you think Gerry might be able to slip us in?" "Let's just see, shall we?" "[Man] Well, what about the end ofJuly?" "Yeah." "Jon!" "Jon Albertson, get on in here." "Uh, yeah, Senator, I say 20 million..." "Let's not take too much of his time." "He's a very busy man." "Well, I hope the governor sees it our way." "Yeah." "All right." "Right." "Bye." "Jon!" "Gerry." "How are Betty and those kids, huh?" "Oh, fine." "Just fine." "Great."

"Okay, great." "Where are we at?" "Spot the red queen and make her yours." "Where's the little lady?" "Five will get you 10." "I can't believe it." "I cannot believe..." "What?"

"Don't..." "All right." "Go." "[Vehicle Approaching]" "Look at that baby!" "You know, the governor opposed this site." "Mayor was dead set against it." "But when I get my mind set..." "That's right." "That's right." "Rammed this baby right through city council." "That's the kind of building commissioner he is." "I'm sure we can do more business together in the future." "I think we might be laying the foundation... for a long and mutually beneficial relationship, Mr. Nichols." "Now, I need your signature in triplicate." "City contracts." "[Snaps Fingers] 1.3 million." "Your signature here, here and here." "Completion guarantee." "Signature here." "[Sal] Okay." "Hey, you got enough hard hats to go around?"

"Yeah." "The medical center's due to start construction here next week." "I need the site cleared before the weekend is over." "The weekend?" "Nobody works on the weekend." "I've just wasted my time." "Forget it." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "The weekend'll be just fine." "[Chuckling]" "Now, here's your copy." "Ah, ah, ah, ah." "Oh, yeah." "[Snaps Fingers]" "[Chuckles]" "There we are." "[Chuckling]" "Oh, uh, Mr. Nichols, one more thing." "Which way do you think this baby's gonna fall?" "Down." "[All Chuckling] I'm sure Mr. Nichols knows what he's doing." "Good luck!" "Timber!" ""Down." [Laughing]" "We did it." "[Chuckling]" "[Both Laughing]" "What's keeping everybody?" "Where the heck is that hotel, the other side of the moon?" "[Chuckling] It must be." "I don't know where they're staying." "I'll ask Cornelia." "Cornelia." "Cornelia?" "Whoo-oo." "Connie, you should have seen us." "It was just like old times." "Oh." "Oh." "Keep your motor running." "We'll be right with you." "Eddie, are you okay?" "Yeah, I guess so." "Well, you handled that like a pro." "Now that you've got the basics down," "I cannot wait till you get to Miami." "Those clubs are crawling with rich widows." "No, no." "I don't think I'm cut out for the love con." "Oh, just give it a little time, kid." "It'll work out fine." "[Sighs] I don't know." "There's..." "There's somethin' missing." "What's missing?" "Look, you got the money." "You got Miami." "You got me." "I'm telling you, the flight's already arrived." "Page him again, please." "Why don't you let me talk to..." "They're going to page him." "Jonathan!" "Oh!" "What's going on?" "Where is everybody?" " Where's David?" " Wait." "There's something I have to say." "Where's David?" "What is it?" "You've been like parents to me." "Aw." "You're like our own son." "We love you." "This is your money." "I took it out of the safe." "How did you do that?" "Why?" "That's not all." "Jonathan, whatever this is, we can work it out." "I don't think we can ever work this out." "Jonathan, what is it?" "What's wrong?" "I'm notJonathan Albertson." "NotJonathan?" "You're not Jonathan Albertson?" "My name is Eddie Farrel, and I'm a con man." "This whole thing is a con." "Annie, I used you to get to your father's money." "Oh, my God." "But I fell in love with you." "Oh, Annie, honey." "Annie, I'm s..." "I don't believe you." "Annie, I'm sorry." "I think you've done enough!" "Milt, please?" "Annie, I'm so sorry I hurt you." "But I love you." "I really do love you."

"Whatever." "Will you pick up the phone, please?" "[Tape Rewinding]" "How many times do I have to call?" "You're listening to me right now, aren't you?" "[ Clicks Off]" "I was in the neighborhood, and..." "I've got some extra blood." "Please leave." "I love you." "If you can turn around and tell me that you don't love me," "I'll walk right out of here." "I don't love you." "I'll bet you're glad to be rid of that guy." "That's right." "He really was a nuisance." "Coming around, bringing you flowers, making us laugh, dragging you out on dates." "Yeah, he won't be cutting into no more of your busy schedule." "[Whimpers]" "Damn you, Harold." "[Chuckles]" "Eddie Farrel!" "How dare you do that to me!" "Annie, I love you." "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
