- Mike Hammer: [after he shoots Charlotte as he knew she was going to shoot him] So long baby.
- Charlotte Manning: How could you...

- Mike Hammer: It was easy.
- [Mike heads to the telephone]
- Mike Hammer: [voice over] There was only one thing left to do. Order a basket... a real pretty one. And wait for Pat. He had his killer, and I had my memories.
- Charlotte Manning: Drink, Mr. Hammer?
- Mike Hammer: No, I'm not much of a champagne drinker, Doc I...
- Mike Hammer: [she shows him the bottle] Beer! Pat tell you about too?
- Charlotte Manning: No. Jack Williams did. He talked about you quite a lot.
- Mike Hammer: That was while you were treating Myrna, isn't it?
- Charlotte Manning: Captain Chambers was asking about Myrna when he was here. He wanted to know how strong she was mentally, and whether there was any chance of her resorting to her old habits again.
- Mike Hammer: There's no chance of that happening, is there Doc?
- Charlotte Manning: Let's say, so far so good.
- Mike Hammer: I'll drink to that.
- Charlotte Manning: Good.
- Mike Hammer: [handing her a glass] Have some.
- Charlotte Manning: I've never been a beer drinker.
- Mike Hammer: No? Pleased to introduce you to a new habit.
- Charlotte Manning: I'm very pleased to meet it.
