[At the scene Fontana mentions his expensive attire, while Falco prides himself on his bargain priced clothing.]
Fontana: Cheap shoes and K-Mart duds.
Falco: Not a guy you'd think would be a target for a robbery.
Fontana: Do you see where you're headed, Falco?
Borgia: At six this morning, Rasputin was seized from Cass Holliman's barn and placed in a police vehicle.
McCoy: It is our further intention to seize every item in Mr. Varick's possession since he began looting his company's pension account from the racing stable, down to his martini shaker.
