Robert Sacchi credited as playing...
Sam Marlow
- Sam Marlow: He was a good soldier. They were all good soldiers. Just doing what they were ordered to do.
- Elsa: What do you mean?
- Sam Marlow: Ah, I don't know what I mean. It's tough to tell the enemy without a uniform. You know what'd end all wars? Make everybody fight naked. Then nobody'd know who to kill, and that would be the end of it.
- Elsa: Sam...
- Sam Marlow: No, I mean it. And let the women get in there naked, too. That'd cinch it. No more war... just peace on earth and a lot of whoopee.
- Sam Marlow: Dana Andrews was swell in "Laura," but what if Bogart had played Lt. MacPherson? Yeah, Bogart... smoking a cigarette and looking up at that portrait, thinking Laura was dead, but still in love with her. What a love scene. And neither of them naked!
- Nicky: Say, sport, don't I see you sometime on television in old movies?
- Sam Marlow: No, that's somebody else.
- Nicky: He sure look like you.
- Sam Marlow: No, *I* look like HIM.
- Sam Marlow: Bronson Canyon is less that ten minutes from Hollywood and Vine. Thousands of movies and television episodes have been filmed there. More movie good guys and bad guys died there than any other place on earth. Now I knew that somebody up here was really dead. Not with blanks and blood capsules. DEAD dead. No "take twos."
- Gena: You know, you never did tell me why you hit me at Petey Cane's club.
- Sam Marlow: Oh, that? Simple. John Wayne slugged his pal Ward Bond in a pictured called "Hondo" for the same reason. If you want to confuse the enemy, hit a friend.
- Gena: Interesting.
