A Dandy in Aspic (1968)

Eberlin: You know, one thing about this damned profession - you're constantly being reminded of it. I feel like a whore in a creaking bed.

Gatiss: I don't like you, Eberlin. I don't like you because you're weak and dishonest. But even more, I don't like you because you're frightened of me, and that disturbs me. I want to know why. You can tell me; I'm a very understanding man.
Eberlin: You haven't got an ounce of understanding or emotion in your body. You died the moment you were born. And when your heart finally stops beating, it'll be a mere formality.

Sobakevich: I mean, if you want to turn this into a gun war, it's all right with us - but our reserves are closer.
Gatiss: Who do you think you are, Al Capone?
Sobakevich: Who's Al Capone?
Gatiss: He was a megalomaniac gangster who murdered anyone who got in his way.
Sobakevich: Really? Whatever happened to him?
Gatiss: He changed his name to Stalin and moved to Russia.
Sobakevich: I thought he sounded familiar.
