Quote from Michael in For British Eyes Only

Michael: I need to check the records for any British-owned building businesses that would've applied for a license about ten years ago.
Ian: Oh, I'm so sorry. You'll need a U.K. passport to check those files. They're for British eyes only.
Michael: Don't I look kind of British?
Ian: Perhaps if you're willing to lose 20 pounds.
Narrator: The clerk was asking for a bribe, but this was lost on Michael.
Michael: Well, you guys do go for the jugular.
Ian: If you find someone with a passport, we're here 'til 8:00. And do stay for the Poppins.

Quote from George Sr.

George Sr.: You got to get me out of here.
Michael: You're the one that said no to prison.
George Sr.: I was wrong. There, you just have it to shut your eyes and take it. Here, you have shut your eyes and give it. Now, listen, we can't go in there and plead "not guilty". We have to have someone big behind us, our own private Matlock. So I made calls and I got him.
Michael: Got who?
George Sr.: Andy Griffith. What, you never saw Matlock?
Michael: Not a real attorney, Dad.
George Sr.: Now, for ten grand, he'll actually sit behind us in court and read the paper. For 15, he'll actually sit at the defense table. For $20,000, he'll twice lean forward and whisper something in your ear. Oh. White suit, that's extra.
Michael: Boy, that's an awful lot of money for the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
George Sr.: The juries love him.
