- Murphy: I'd like to get ahold of a couple a million dollars from one of these foundations and hire a few doctors and find out why people keep sticking needles in themselves. I'd like to do that a lot. But, I'm too busy here trying to find out how the junk gets into the country.
- Murphy: Every now and again we get some little junkie in here who's so far down the line he's makin' half a buck profit on a twenty dollar shot. He doesn't even know what year it is - never mind who's hiring him. It doesn't seem to add up, does it?
- Vincent Cashling: Look, I don't want to get in no kind of trouble.
- Interrogator: Cashling, you're in so much trouble, now, it's gonna make your ears wiggle.
- Frank McNally: Well, look who's here.
- Gina Broger: Frank, please get rid of them.
- Frank McNally: I can't spoil the party, darling. It only started yesterday.
- Gina Broger: But, Frank, I've got to talk...
- Frank McNally: I want to talk to you, now. You've been a naughty girl.
- [to the partygoers]
- Frank McNally: Back in a minute. A little business, chums.
- [to Gina]
- Frank McNally: A very naughty girl.
- Frank McNally: No, we will not quarrel. But, I'd like to give you a little warning: don't try to blackmail me again or we might. See you around.
- Amalio: She ain't comin' out, Max. Not today. You watchin' a dry hole. Her and her friends left. They ain't gonna show.
- Gina Broger: Frank, I meant I'm not coming with you. You are not going to tell me what to do any more.
- Frank McNally: [Slaps Gina across the face] You stupid girl. Here are your tickets. Do you realize I could have had any doll doing errands for me? But I never wanted - any doll. We'll meet on the other side.
- Stewardess: Fasten your seat belts, please. Will you put your cigarette out, please?
- Joe - First Bartender: I can never understand it.
- Frank McNally: You ought to by now.
- Joe - First Bartender: Yeah, maybe. I still don't get the percentage. Somebody wants to get real loaded, that I can understand. It's normal, if you know what I mean. But, this, I don't get? You never figure how guys can get themselves hooked like this. Still, if it makes you happy, it makes me happy. It's all money.
- Murphy: Well, where have you been?
- Charles Sturgis: Crawled around the wet belly in the gutter, lookin' for dope peddlers, needle pushers, saying filthy things, day in and day out.
- Commissioner Breckner: Salko: he's had a go of a bit of everything, including white slavery. But, he's been quite discreet lately. Changed everything about himself. His methods. His habits. His name. Even his face. Taken himself a part, you might say. But, we've put him back together again - like Humpty Dumpty.
- Frank McNally: I've heard all about it. Are you scared a little, darling? Yes, I know how you feel. The first kill is always a bit trying. I had no idea you were such a good shot. You must try one of those relaxing pills or that hot stuff they advertise, before you go to sleep.
- Gina Broger: Don't! Don't, Frank. If you won't help me, I don't know who will.
- Frank McNally: I'll help you, doll. It's just going to be a little expensive, that's all. I'll take care of everything. My partner is no great loss. You haven't got to worry about anything. You just go on looking beautiful. I wish someone would paint you. I wish I could. I'd rather see you hung in the Royal Academy than just - hung.
- Frank McNally: Now, now, now, don't worry about what's happened today. Unless you decide not to do as I tell you, then, you start worrying. You see, doll, we both need each other.
- Capt. Baris: What did you say - is it this time, our little cargo item?
- Frank McNally: I didn't say.
- Capt. Baris: Heroin or morphine?
- Frank McNally: Any difference to you?
- Capt. Baris: I understand heroin is bringing better prices in the States.
- Frank McNally: That's why it's heroin. You've been studying the fluctuating market, haven't you, Baris?
- Capt. Baris: How are you getting it into Athens?
- Frank McNally: Who'd expect Lebanese opium, processed in Naples, to go to New York by way of Athens. Brilliant, don't you think?
- Capt. Baris: How much is there this time?
- [McNally doesn't answer]
- Capt. Baris: Well, I must know. To judge the space. To make the best arrangements.
- Frank McNally: About seventy kilos.
- Capt. Baris: Seventy kilos! I haven't planned on so much. Do you realize this is worth - three million dollars.
- Frank McNally: You have been studying the market, haven't you, Baris.
- Capt. Baris: I too understand you have made some very good buys in Tangier - in industrial diamonds. It should easily cover your expenses. I see no reason why I shouldn't have a fair profit, too. No, no, no, no. Under these circumstances, I cannot offer you my facilities for less than - fifty thousand dollars or the equivalent.
- Amalio: Here you are, get your guidebooks to the Catacombs here. Don't get lost in the Catacombs. Spooky. Spooky. Know where you are all the time. Aspirin. Flashlights. Alka-Seltzer? Ice pack?
- Amalio: How about a flashlight? Very dark in the Catacombs. Spooky. Spooky. Make sure you don't fall over - get a run in your stockings. Doesn't anybody want to buy a flashlight?
- Charles Sturgis: The minute I'm tired of chasing you, or anything happens to me, they'll pick you up faster than a twenty dollar gold piece.
- Gina Broger: I sound fascinating.
- Charles Sturgis: I stopped being fascinated by dope peddlers a long time ago.
- Captain Varolli: It may interest you to know, that at this moment, you are the target of every thug in Rome who carries a gun.
- Charles Sturgis: There's only one thug I care about.
- Amalio: Do you know where she is now?
- Charles Sturgis: Athens.
- Amalio: Athens? What would she be doin' goofin' off to a crazy place like Athens?
- Charles Sturgis: Because she's a goof.
