[Thornhill and Vandaam meeting each other for the first time in Townsend's office, where Vandaam has stolen his identity; they both size each other up silently]
Phillip Vandamm:
Good evening.
[beat]
Phillip Vandamm:
Not what I expected. A little taller, a little more polished than the others...
Roger Thornhill:
Well, I'm so glad you're pleased, Mr. Townsend!
Phillip Vandamm:
But I'm afraid just as obvious.
Leonard:
What the devil is all this about? Why was I brought here?
Phillip Vandamm:
Games? Must we?
Roger Thornhill:
Not that I mind a slight case of abduction now and then, but I do have tickets to the theatre tonight, and a show I was looking forward to and I get, well, *unreasonable* about things like that.
Phillip Vandamm:
With such play-acting, you make this very room a theatre.
[Leonard, Vandaam's co-conspirator, enters]
Phillip Vandamm:
Ah, Leonard. Have you met our distinguished guest?
Leonard:
He's a well-tailored one, isn't he?
Phillip Vandamm:
My secretary is a great admirer of your methods, Mr. Kaplan. Elusive, however misguided...
Roger Thornhill:
Wait a minute. Did you call me "Kaplan"?
Phillip Vandamm:
Oh, I know you're a man of many names, but I'm perfectly willing to accept your current choice.
Roger Thornhill:
"Current choice"? My name is Thornhill - Roger Thornhill! It's never been anything else!
