- Inspector Stevens: A whole series of coincidences, just like you said the other night.
- Ann Quinn: Coincidences? That's how you convicted my husband! He dies tomorrow night. It isn't right a man should die on circumstantial evidence alone. Can't you say anything?
- Inspector Stevens: Our hands are tied, Mrs. Quinn.
- Ann Quinn: All you're interested in is killing somebody! You don't care who it is, just as long as you kill somebody! Well, it'll be on your conscience, you hear?
- Inspector Stevens: I've been on the police force for twenty-five years. I've turned in some honeys for indictment, but never in all that time have I had such an unbeatable, airtight case as I've got against you.
- Detective Clint Judd: No matter how you look at it, it's nothing but a loosely connected series of coincidences. You don't mind if I look into it, do you?
- Inspector Stevens: If that's the way you want to spend Christmas.
- Ann Quinn: It's Christmas Eve, and I'm lonesome and afraid. You're lonesome too, aren't you, Santa Claus?
- Ann Quinn: How do you know he's guilty? You're all so sure. Well, you'll never prove it, see. Not if there's any justice.
