Quote
“- Chief Insp. Cyril Willis: Of all the crimes of which man is capable, the one that really rankles me is the violation of property. Oh, there's your murder, of course - rape, kidnap, wife beating...
- Mrs. Willis: Don't be ridiculous.
- Chief Insp. Cyril Willis: But life - however precious, life perishes. It's only property that lives on and on. Now, the man I intend to arrest had the presumption to usurp himself that which we consider to be the most valuable property of all: diamonds. The dearest, noblest, most direct link we have to the very core of the planet itself.”
