"Newspaper article: A photograph has been tentatively identified as that of Roger Thornhill, a Manhattan advertising executive, indicating that the name of George Kaplan which he gave to an attendant at the General Assembly Building was false - a possible motive for the slaying suggested by the discovery. And earlier today Thornhill had appeared at a Glen Cove Long Island police court and charged with drunk driving with a stolen car. In his defense, he charged that the murder victim, Mr. Townsend had tried to kill him the night before."

"CIA agent: [referring to Thornhill] Hes the poor sucker who got mistaken for George Kaplan...Vandamms men must have grabbed him, tried to put him away using Lester Townsends house - and the unsuspecting Mr. Townsend winds up with a stray knife in his back. Cest la guerre. Its so horribly sad. How is it I feel like laughing?"

"The Professor: We do nothing...Thats right, nothing. Oh, we could congratulate ourselves on a marvelous stroke of good fortune. Our non-existent decoy George Kaplan created to divert suspicion from our actual agent has fortituously become a live decoy... What can we do to save him, without endangering our own agent?...We didnt invent our non-existent man and give him the name of George Kaplan, establish elaborate behavior patterns for him, move his prop belongings in and out of hotel rooms for our own private amusement. We created George Kaplan and labored successfully to convince Vandamm that this was our own agent hot on his trail for a desperately important reason...If we make the slightest move to suggest that there is no such agent as George Kaplan, give any hint to Vandamm that hes pursuing a decoy instead of our own agent, then our agent working right under Vandamms very nose will immediately face suspicion, exposure and assassination, like the two others who went before."
