Joan Martin
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: [as Joan enters] Cigarette?
- Miss Joan Martin: No, thanks.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: You know, I've been thinkin' about you, Baby.
- Miss Joan Martin: I wish you wouldn't, Jimmy.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: What?
- Miss Joan Martin: Think about me.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: What's the matter?
- Miss Joan Martin: I'm liable to catch something hanging out in your mind.
- Charles Wallingham: You'd better give this case your personal attention.
- Miss Joan Martin: I'll get on it right away before Jimmy Corrigan and his Tarzans get wind of it.
- Charles Wallingham: Wait a minute. Corrigan doesn't get any... tips from the emergency.
- Miss Joan Martin: I don't trust him! He'd bribe a corpse to sit up and telephone!
- Miss Joan Martin: You don't care what anybody does! It's just getting caught!
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: What's the matter with that? Im in business, aren't I?
- Miss Joan Martin: I'll say! Crooked business!
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: Oh, all business is crooked!
- Miss Joan Martin: Signed Jimmy Corrigan, the boy with the worm's eye view!
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: There's only two kinds of guys in business - those who get caught and those who on't!
- Charles Wallingham: [as she is crying] Joan, dear, I'm a bit gauche at this sort of thing, but why don't you let me take care of you?
- Miss Joan Martin: [Shocked] Mr. Wallingham!
- Charles Wallingham: Oh, don't "Mister" me, please, as I've grown very fond of you.
- Miss Joan Martin: Mr. Wallingham!
- Charles Wallingham: [Said as a double entendre] I've tried to make you... really mine.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: Hello, Baby. I was just gonna give yuh a ring.
- [He notices she is just glaring at him]
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: What's the matter?
- Miss Joan Martin: [Contemptuously] You go down deeper, stay under longer, and come up dirtier than any man I've ever known!
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: Hiya, baby.
- Miss Joan Martin: Jimmy! What? It's taking my breathe away. So swank!
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: Cosy, ain't it.
- Miss Joan Martin: Cosy? It's colossal!
- Miss Joan Martin: [Speaking of Wallingham] He bothers you, doesn't he?
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: Yeah, like a crumb in a union suit!
- Miss Joan Martin: Well, it'll always bother you. Jimmy, he's got something you haven't.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: The only thing he's got that I want is you, and he took you away from me.
- Charles Wallingham: It's invaluable having you here, knowing as much about Corrigan as you do and his peculiar technique. You're very stimulating.
- Miss Joan Martin: I need a haircut.
- Miss Joan Martin: Every time a hot tip comes into this office, Ronny Gaston steps out to get a deck of cigarettes.
- Charles Wallingham: I see - and your feminine instinct tells you?
- Miss Joan Martin: It tells me I'm going to get a big black cigar.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: What's on your mind?
- Miss Joan Martin: Ronny Gaston.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: Why, the dirty little rat. Did he squeal?
- Miss Joan Martin: No, I caught him.
- Miss Joan Martin: He's got ethics.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: I don't care if he has carbuncles. The only difference between him and me is he's got a smoother line.
- Miss Joan Martin: Is that all?
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: Yeah, and a sharper knife and he sticks it between your fourth and your fifth rib and you don't know you're dead until you get home.
- Miss Joan Martin: You can't talk about him like that.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: I'll talk about him any way I like.
- Miss Joan Martin: You can't make yourself clean by making him dirty.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: He's a chisler, just the same as me.
- Miss Joan Martin: He's a gentleman and you're a crook.
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: Oh, it looks like he's done all right with you already.
- Miss Joan Martin: Just what do you mean by that?
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: Do you need a diagram?
- Miss Joan Martin: What do you want?
- 'Jimmy' Corrigan: You didn't have no right to call me a crook.
- Miss Joan Martin: Oh, did I call you that? I apologize to the crooks.
- Miss Joan Martin: Put your arms around me. Make me love you. Make me love you! Oh, you've got to make me love you.
