Hello Gerard,
If you're speaking of the dialogue in The Green Pearl, that's exactly why I feel that book to be Jack's best work! It's filled with great dialogues and verbal battles which, are my most favourite thing about his works.
I'm continually reading the same passage you mention to my friends, just to see what they think.
