- Hulse: Here's where he varied from the program. That has to be the message. We fed the notes into the computer.
- Cooper: [reading] "ARDIE BETGO INDYO CEFAR OGGEL." What the hell is this?
- Hulse: I don't know.
- Carson: Oh, come on, can't you see? He's rubbing our noses in it! Let's just pick him up and put an end to it.
- Cooper: [frowning] Is this "cefar oh-gle" or "cefar oggle"?
- Hulse: Oh-gle.
- Cooper: "Oh-gle"?
- Hulse: Could be "oggle."
- Cooper: Hulse, I want you to put a special mike on him tonight, one that isolates everything he plays from the rest of the orchestra. Carson, you link it into the GBLX 1000 computer.
- Maddy: The GBLX?
- Cooper: Yeah. That thing'll break any code.
- Maddy: But that's in control of our entire missile defense system!
- Cooper: Honey, will you please - what are the odds of the Russians attacking on a Thursday night?
- Stemple: [while searching the sewer for evidence] Second time around this sewer and I haven't found sh*! Control yourself. Control yourself. What would Gordon Liddy do? No, I can't do that, I'm not hungry.
- Cooper: Professor Chermenko, what about that handwriting?
- Professor Chermenko: Ah. Richard Drew is a complex man, filled to the breaking point with psychological conflicts. His violin is a substitute for severe anger and repression.
- [pause]
- Professor Chermenko: *Sexual* repression.
- Ross: [Talking about Cooper] He made the mousetrap himself. All we did was feed him a piece of cheese.
- Brown: About this piece of cheese, sir. What's going to happen to him?
- Ross: What?
- Brown: Wouldn't it bother you to send an innocent man to his grave?
- Ross: Are you serious? We're talking about my career.
- Brown: But I'm the one who picked him, sir.
- Ross: Don't tell me you're having a guilty conscience.
- Brown: It was his shoe. I could have picked a black man with a green raincoat. There was a Japanese guy with five cameras. I could have picked him. But I preferred the guy with the red shoe.
- Ross: Brown, you're not being paid to be a philosopher. Wait until you retire. Tell Virdon and Reese to clear off and take a well-earned rest. They must be tired.
- Brown: But what am I supposed to do with the Red Shoe?
- Ross: [as the helicopter takes off] Save him for your memoirs.
- Maddy: [Richard and Maddy are being chased on the subway] Richard, tell me. Are you an agent?
- Richard: No! But I used to have an agent.
- Maddy: No! No. Do you work for the government? Are you a spy?
- Richard: No, of course not. I'm no more a spy than you're spy.
- Maddy: Richard... I am a spy.
- Richard: You're a spy?
- [after having all his teeth yanked out without anesthetic]
- Reese: [slurringly] Do you have some aspirin?
- Richard: [Richard, playing a violin solo, begins to ad-lib his own composition. The conductor angrily taps on Richard's music stand] What?
- The Conductor: [Sarcastically] This evening we are playing Scheherazade. Would you care to join us?
- Richard: Oh.
- Ross: [Closing lines] And the Man With One Red Shoe. What's going to happen to him?
- Brown: He'll be just fine.
- Ross: And the girl?
- Brown: The deal was her testimony for her freedom. I think it was a fair exchange.
- Ross: Well, I don't think so.
- Brown: [as Brown get on the helicopter] Well, since you're no longer director of CIA, and I am, it doesn't matter what you think.
- [Ross gives him a angry look as the helicopter takes off]
- Cooper: [mistaking Reese at the window for Richard] Scratch one fiddle player
- [pulls out a long range rifle]
