- Johnny McEvoy, aka Johnny Macklin: What happened after kindergarten?
- Madeleine Haley, aka Gladys LaRue: Well, uh, when I was in my teens, I was sent up. But I broke out within a month, and then I met Rocky.
- Johnny McEvoy, aka Johnny Macklin: Who was Rocky?
- Madeleine Haley, aka Gladys LaRue: The only man I ever kissed...
- [sigh]
- Madeleine Haley, aka Gladys LaRue: I felt so sorry seeing him lying there on the cold cement. Mortally wounded.
- Johnny McEvoy, aka Johnny Macklin: What happened to him?
- Madeleine Haley, aka Gladys LaRue: I shot him. I made sure that he'd never kiss another girl. Does, um, that answer your question?
- Madeleine Haley, aka Gladys LaRue: I'm quitting, Mr. Whittaker.
- Whittaker: Quitting, nonsense. You've shown yourself admirably equipped for this assignment. Isn't that right, McEvoy?
- Johnny McEvoy, aka Johnny Macklin: She has excellent equipment. And doesn't hesitate to use it.
- Johnny McEvoy, aka Johnny Macklin: Don't talk to any strangers.
- Madeleine Haley, aka Gladys LaRue: I don't know any strangers
- [Johnny and Madeleine's car is pursued by Ritchie and his thugs]
- Madeleine Haley, aka Gladys LaRue: Can't you go faster?
- Johnny McEvoy, aka Johnny Macklin: Maybe if I got out and pushed.
- Johnny McEvoy, aka Johnny Macklin: How long you been knocking around in this racket?
- Madeleine Haley, aka Gladys LaRue: Let's see. I started when I was in kindergarten I sold the stuff to my little pals. How'd you get mixed up with Harvey Gumbin?
- Johnny McEvoy, aka Johnny Macklin: Oh, that goes back a long way too. They put me in reform school when I was 4 - threw me in with a lotta hardened criminals of 7 or 8. I learned plenty. But they couldn't hold me. I broke out when I was 5. I met Gumbin and I've been with him ever since.
