Loostgarten Quotes in Herbie Rides Again (1974)

Loostgarten: Loostgarten speaking.

Willoughby Whitfield: [imitating Hawk's voice over the telephone] This is Alonzo Hawk.

Loostgarten: Right, Mr. Hawk.

Willoughby Whitfield: Loostgarten, there's been a slight change in plan. I don't want you to knock down the firehouse tonight. Instead I want you to knock down 343 Oleander Heights. You got that, 343 Oleander Heights?

Loostgarten: Right.

Willoughby Whitfield: [quickly spoken] Write it down! I don't want you to be blackballed in the wrecking ball buisness. If you know what I mean.

[then he chuckles quickly]

[Alonzo Hawk is aroused in the middle of the night by his phone ringing and ending the nightmare of Herbie, attacking him]

Alonzo Hawk: [answering the phone] Yeah, what is it?

Loostgarten: [on the phone] Sorry to disturb you at this time of the night, Mr. Hawk, but a guy with my job can't afford to make mistakes.

Alonzo Hawk: What are you talking about?

Loostgarten: That address you gave me on the phone.

Alonzo Hawk: Well, what about it?

Loostgarten: Uh, 343 Oleander Heights. Are you sure that's the right address?

Alonzo Hawk: Of course I'm sure, you idiot! I know it as well as my own address.

[hangs up and starts to lie back down, then suddenly sits up with alarm]

Alonzo Hawk: Wait a minute! It is my own address!

[but it's too late; Loostgarten starts to tear down Mr. Hawk's home]
