  • Nicole, when asked why she wants to steal a sculpture belonging to her own family:
    Nicole (when asked ): Well, you don't think I'd steal something that didn't belong to me, did you?
    Simon (clutching forehead): Excuse me, I spoke without thinking.
  • Her reaction to learning Simon's car may be stolen:
    Nicole: I can't drive a stolen car!
    Simon: Same principle. Four gears forward, one reverse.

  • Simon's means of getting the guards to disable the alarms is to trigger them with a boomerang, which sends the guards into a frenzy and also summons the police. The first time, the noise wakes up the Minister of the Interior who lives across the street, and who calls the guards to make a noise complaint. The second time, and which gets the guards to disable the thing thinking it's gone haywire, they wake up the President.
  • What does Dermott replace the Cellini sculpture with? He replaces it with the wine bottle that the thick-mustached guard has surreptitiously hidden near the broom closet, one that said guard is shown on both false alarms sneaking a few sips from.
