Sydney Mason: Martin

Quotes 

• Mrs. Karp : If we're taking the girl with us, we'll have to hide her.

  Martin : Now it's your turn, Mrs. Karp. Get in the closet.

  Mrs. Karp : You've tricked me!

  Martin : Heh, heh, heh. So I have. Now, do as I say! I'm a desperate man, Mrs. Karp. And don't forget, I can only hang once!

• Martin : I'll come right to the point. The law is after you - the police know you're in Whitehorse. I'm here to get you away with a whole skin... for a price.

  Martin : Ohhh. And that price is...?

  Martin : "The Eye of Evil."

  Gregor Tallin : The black pearl? Why you're joking. That's worth a king's ransom - or a thief's.

  Martin : Exactly, Mr. Tallin.

• Mrs. Karp : It's last night's business I want to know about. How did you hurt your arm?

  Martin : Told you - I caught it on some barbed-wire at the store.

  Mrs. Karp : That might pass for the truth with the girl, but it doesn't with me. You're forgetting I doctored it for you and I know a bullet wound when I see one.

  Martin : So you heard Mr. Constantine and Lou Anne talking about "The Eye of Evil", a pearl worth a fortune. Well, I've got it now. I had a little trouble getting it.

  Mrs. Karp : You're liable to have a little more trouble keeping it... unless you make it worth my while to help you.

• Lou Anne Constantine : You must be insane! You'll never get away with this.

  Martin : Oh, how nice of you to be so concerned over your faithful employees. Turn your back to Mrs. Karp and put your hands behind you!

• Martin : I'm handicapped with one bad arm. Give me the gun - I'll hold it on her while you tie her hands and feet.

  [Mrs. Karp hesitates] 

  Martin : Come on, come on. I told you I wouldn't kill her.

• [Martin doublecrosses his accomplice, locking her in a closet] 

  Mrs. Karp : I'll get even with you, Martin, if it takes to my dying day.

  Martin : Then I advise you to work fast, Mrs. Karp. You haven't got much time left!
