You've got a nasty reputation, Mr. Gits. I like that.
Gittes
Thanks.
Cross
If you were a bank president, that would be one thing. But in your business it's admirable and it's good advertising.
Gittes
It doesn't hurt.
Cross
It's, um, why you attracted a client like my daughter.
Gittes
Probably.
Cross
But I'm surprised you're still working for her - unless she's suddenly come up with another husband.
Gittes
No. She happens to think the last one was murdered.
Cross
Umm, how'd she get that idea?
Gittes
I think I gave it to her.

[about the fish served for lunch]
I hope you don't mind. I believe they should be served with the head.
Gittes
Fine. As long as you don't serve the chicken that way.
