- Cyrus Baxter: [Huffily] Look here, Corcoran, I'm paying you and your staff considerable money and I demand results. I want Miss Douglas here in my office tomorrow morning...
- Corcoran: Mr. Baxter...
- Cyrus Baxter: I'm sick and tired of your whiny excuses...
- Corcoran: But, Mr. Baxter...
- Cyrus Baxter: If you don't find that girl for me, I'll break you like a twig.
- Corcoran: Now just a minute, Mr. Baxter. I resent your tone. I'm a reputable man and I...
- Cyrus Baxter: Stop talking gibberish to me, detective. You couldn't find the Brooklyn Bridge on a clear day with bloodhounds and radar.
- Corcoran: That's no way to talk, Mr. Baxter.
- Cyrus Baxter: I'll talk to you any way I want.
- Corcoran: Not to me, you don't. I don't have to earn my money this way
- Cyrus Baxter: You aren't earning your money anyway.
- Corcoran: Aw, shut up!
- Cyrus Baxter: What!
- Corcoran: I said, shut up!
- Cyrus Baxter: What?
- Corcoran: There's a limit to what I'll take from a fat-faced old weasel like you.
- Cyrus Baxter: Nobody can call Cyrus Baxter a liar! Draw your pay when we get to the office. You're fired! Hey. Come back here! Come back. Come back here!
- Chauffeur: Mister Baxter, I spent three years in the army under a sergeant who was so tough, I was scared to wake up in the morning. I never dreamed I'd do it, but I'm going to re-enlist.
- Traffic Cop: Hey, wait a minute! What about this car?
- Cyrus Baxter: Keep it!
