Helen Reed
- Helen Reed: [as Gay appears preoccupied] Are you reasoning something out or something?
- Gay Lawrence: Yes, I'm wondering if I lived here, where'd I hide something if I wee clever and had something to hide.
- Helen Reed: You're Mr. Lawrence, aren't you? I heard so much about you, it's like meeting your favorite mystery author. Only, all the things really happened to you.
- Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke: Look, sister. He took the pledge: no more crimes, no more dames.
- Helen Reed: That must be your Dr. Watson! Your faithful and loyal colleague. All characters like you have a kind of a stooge, don't they?
- Helen Reed: [driving] Maxine sent me down to ask you to call on her tonight.
- Gay Lawrence: We better circle around a bit, first.
- Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke: Hey, I got a hunch we're being tagged.
- Gay Lawrence: Naturally.
- Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke: Step on it sister.
- Gay Lawrence: A couple of Mike's men.
- Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke: Oh, in that case, I don't mind a couple of Dicks around.
- Helen Reed: What's he talking about?
- Helen Reed: I don't understand.
- Gay Lawrence: I think I'm just beginning to.
- Helen Reed: Gee, this is certainly baffling, Mr. Lawrence.
- Gay Lawrence: Call me Gay. It saves time.
- Helen Reed: I live on Morton Street in the Village.
- Gay Lawrence: I haven't got time to take you there.
- Helen Reed: Well, where are we going?
- Gay Lawrence: To my apartment.
- Helen Reed: Oh, Gay!
- Helen Reed: Maybe he has a date with his girl.
- Gay Lawrence: He doesn't have a girl.
- Helen Reed: You should give him a few lessons.
- Helen Reed: I'm still at your apartment. Oh, darling, next time you kiss me like that and I faint, please let me down gently. I'm still sore where that flat-foot dropped me.
- Helen Reed: I borrowed Jerry's car. I was afraid they might be on the lookout for yours.
- Gay Lawrence: Smart girl. You know, all other pretty girls are just pretty.
- Helen Reed: Am I getting a brush off?
- Gay Lawrence: No, I just have to change clothes and see someone.
- Helen Reed: Oh, a woman, naturally.
- Gay Lawrence: Naturally.
- Helen Reed: Do they all fall for you?
- Gay Lawrence: All but the clever ones, like you. You buy yourself a soda and take in a movie. I'll see you later.
- [Gay leaves]
- Helen Reed: I hate men!
