Cross:
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.

Cross:
[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.
