Frank Ridgeway : Why did you do this? Doc Robbins : Shortcuts, kid. I never could do things the easy way. Frank Ridgeway : Doc, why this little game and the car business? Doc Robbins : I figured Joann had the tapes, I knew she wasn't gonna gove them to me. Maybe you, Wordman, maybe if she'd give them to you. Joann Carlino : What would you do if you had the tapes, Doc? Doc Robbins : Try me, just try me. I have it made. For once in my life, I'd bring home a winner... I'd like that. Joann Carlino : I once asked Eddie why he kept you around. You know what he said? He said, "Doc's a dreamer, and the world needs dreamers." Doc Robbins : He was the only real friend I ever had.
