• Inspector Koch : [at the front desk of the hotel]  Excuse me.

  Phil : [in dealing with other guests]  In a minute.

  Inspector Koch : Thank you.

  Phil : [a few seconds later in cleaning up the cigar ashes Koch has flicked onto the counter]  We have ashtrays.

  Inspector Koch : Oh, excuse me.

  Phil : [looking up to deal with Koch directly now]  We're all filled up.

  Inspector Koch : Oh, I imagine. Nice hotel.

  Phil : Thank you.

  Inspector Koch : Looking for a man. I think he lives here.

  Phil : [sarcastically]  You're not sure?

  Inspector Koch : His name is Johnny O'Clock.

  Phil : "Johnny O'Clock." That's a funny kind of name.

  Inspector Koch : Does he live here?

  Phil : [matter-of-factly shaking his head negatively]  Never heard of him.

  Inspector Koch : How about Joe Finch? Phil Briggs? George Baker?

  [Phil shakes his head negatively after each name] 

  Phil : I thought you were looking for one man.

  Inspector Koch : I am, he just has different names? Perhaps if I described him to you...

  Phil : [as he turns ready to walk away]  I'm sorry, I really haven't the time...

  Inspector Koch : [grabbing Phil's arm to bring him back]  Oh well...

  Inspector Koch : [flashing his police badge to Phil]  About six foot tall, dresses very well. Dapper you might say.

  Phil : [now cooperatively]  He's in fifteen fourteen.

  Inspector Koch : Thanks. You're very cooperative.
