Bourbon Street Beat

Camden (about Dennison): How is he? Komack: He'll be all right. I gave him the 30 minute dose.

Rex (to Jan): You are about the loveliest excuse to avoid work I've met all day.

Mara: I can handle men, money, and myself, Barbara, but the weather is a little out of my field.

Barbara (about hurricanes): Why do they always name 'em after women? Komack: Violent, dangerous, unpredictable. All female characteristics.

Rex (to Jan): I can't stand women drivers especially in hurricanes.

Komack: You and Teresa have something in common, Mara--inner violence.

Mara (to Rex): I might have known a family like the Dennisons would hire only the best retriever to track down a missing son.

Rex: Composure, Jan my love, is the chief asset of a good liar.

Jan: I've never been in a hurricane before, Rex. What is it like? Rex: Just imagine how an egg feels when it runs through an egg beater.
