- Molly: Just a minute. 400. 800. 11. 15. 23. 24. 2,400! You can't beat me.
- Kent Barringer: [returns part of Molly's drooping dress back over her shoulder] You care to bet?
- Molly: Sure, I'll bet.
- Kent Barringer: For the stakes we discussed?
- Molly: [hesitates] All right, Barry. Sure! After all, why not?
- Kent Barringer: Bet?
- Molly: A bet!
- Kent Barringer: Well?
- Molly: Well?
- Kent Barringer: Where do we go from here?
- Molly: You won, didn't you?
- Kent Barringer: Sure you don't want to welsh?
- Molly: Do you?
- Jury Foreman: Not Guilty.
- Client: Thank God. Thank God! Thank God.
- Kent Barringer: Don't thank him. Thank me. He knows your guilty.
- Molly: Don't shake! This is frightfully important. We're betting.
- Pinball Spectator: Is it a private bet or can anyone get in?
- Kent Barringer: Very private. Isn't it Molly?
- Pinball Spectator: What was the bet, Molly?
- Kent Barringer: On advice of Counsel, she refuses to answer.
- Roger McKane: Is he still busy, Miss Simmons?
- Miss 'Simmy' Simmons: Yes, Mr. McKane. Very busy!
- Roger McKane: A blonde or a brunette?
- Miss 'Simmy' Simmons: She's a blonde. You know the one. The nightclub girl, Catherine - whats her name - Watson.
- Roger McKane: Do you suppose she'll be with him long?
- Miss 'Simmy' Simmons: It depends on what you call long. I'd say probably until after breakfast - tomorrow.
- Kent Barringer: I thought we ought to understand each other.
- Catherine: Oh, I understand you much too well. I'm taking half a loaf because I know its all I'll ever get. You didn't suspect me of wanting more, did you Barry?
- Kent Barringer: I think its a safe rule to assume that the woman always wants all she can get.
- Kent Barringer: Love is an illusion.
- Catherine: So I guess. All done with mirrors.
- Kent Barringer: Have another drink.
- Catherine: Oh, just one peek at her, please Barry.
- Kent Barringer: Nothing doing. I've got to write out her instructions: How to Dodge the Electric Chair in Six Easy Lessons.
- Catherine: You better let me see. It might come in handy. You know, someday I might get desperate and blow your brains out.
- Kent Barringer: Always at your service, my sweet.
- Mrs.Florence Steele, Lester: [singing] We must have one more rum-tum-tum, Before we go from here.
- Mrs.Florence Steele: We're good!
- Kent Barringer: I'm not going to put you on the stand.
- Mrs.Florence Steele: Why? I'm not afraid.
- Kent Barringer: Well, I am. In cross-examination you'd snap like that.
- Mrs.Florence Steele: I don't think so.
- Kent Barringer: You wouldn't want the D.A. to question you about your, shall we say, slightly purple past, would you?
- Kent Barringer: Did you ever read, "Weir of Hermiston"?
- Mrs.Florence Steele: No, but I read, "Beware of Blondes".
- Kent Barringer: Who'd you think she was?
- Doris Worthing: Why she's the image of Madame Celeste who runs a lingerie shop in Times Square.
- Catherine: What was she like?
- Kent Barringer: [stands up and aggressively kisses Catherine] She was like you, darling. A charming, cheating little chiseler.
- Roger McKane: See her now, Chief. This girl's a tremendous admirer of yours. She's pinning everything on your taking her case personally.
- Kent Barringer: My dear impetuous young man, this young lady is also a tremendous admirer of mine and is pinning everything on my personally handling her case. Good-bye.
- [leaves with Catherine]
- Roger McKane: Miss Worthing is a very fine girl and I'm deeply sorry for her.
- Lester: Sure! I was sorry about a dame once. I'm still sorry.
- Miss 'Simmy' Simmons: [on phone] He's still out of town. What? Well, why ask me riddles? I'm only the hired girl.
- Kent Barringer: I wish I could sneak out before they know I'm back. Anyone waiting?
- Miss 'Simmy' Simmons: Counting the telephone numbers from women who wouldn't leave their names, about 200.
- Kent Barringer: You're a good soul, Simmy.
- Miss 'Simmy' Simmons: To any woman under 40, that's almost an insult.
- Lester: You all right, Chief? You want me to take you back to the office? Maybe you'd better...
- Kent Barringer: No, no. I'm all right, Lester. I'm not drunk.
- Lester: You look as though you'd seen a ghost.
- Kent Barringer: Just that.
- Catherine: You don't have to believe me - about anything.
- Tony Perez: Oh, I didn't mean that, honey. But, after all, you can't blame me! What do I know about you? If your taxi hadn't bumped into my car that night, I never would have known you at all. You never loosened up to me. And I know you can't live in a joint like this for nickels and dimes. I never see a guy around and now you keep stalling me off. Well, naturally I wonder what the layout is.
- Catherine: Just a minute, I want to powder my nose.
- Tony Perez: Is that all you're gonna do?
- Catherine: You wanna come and see?
