[Laura's aunt and uncle were killed in the jewel robbery]

Mike Hammer:
That puts the loss in the neighborhood of fifty thousand dollars. My company gets very nervous in that neighborhood.

Laura Howell:
I'm sure your company has my complete sympathy.

Mike Hammer:
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that, but you see, after all, no one can bring your aunt and uncle back, but the company is going to expect me to bring the jewels back.
