Quotes15

  • Peter Falk: Here. To smoke and have coffee - and if you do it together, it's fantastic. Or, to draw. You know, you take a pencil and you make a dark line, then you make a light line, and together it's a good line.
  • Peter Falk: But, you're not here. I'm here. I wish you were here! I wish you could talk to me. 'Cause, I'm a friend. Compañero.
  • Peter Falk: I can't see ya, but I know you're here. I feel it! You've been hangin' around since I got here. I wish I could see your face. Just look into your eyes and tell you how good it is to be here. Just to touch somethin'.
  • Peter Falk: [inner voice] Yellow star means death. Why did they pick yellow? Sunflowers. Van Gogh killed himself. This drawing stinks. So what? No one sees it. Someday you'll make a good drawing. I hope. I hope. I hope.
  • Peter Falk: [inner voice - while sketching an female extra, who is waiting on the set] What a dear face! Interesting. What a nostril. A dramatic nostril. These people are extras. Extra people. Extras are so patient. They just sit. Extras. These humans are extras. Extra humans.
  • Peter Falk: There's so many good things.
  • Peter Falk: So, what is it? Hitler had a double?
  • Boy: Ya, ya.
  • Peter Falk: There were two Hitlers?
  • Boy: Yeah.
  • Peter Falk: Two Hitlers?
  • Boy: Hitler came from the Innsbourne and he died before he could land at his home in the Alps.
  • Peter Falk: And Goebbels got an actor to be Hitler?
  • Boy: Ya, because he doesn't want that anybody knows.
  • Peter Falk: So, this, let me ask you something. This story, to me, it's not too plausible.
  • Peter Falk: [Inner voice] "If I didn't have it, I'd miss it," said the General to the whore.
  • Peter Falk: [inner voice] Interesting drawing problem. This man has eyes like a raccoon; but, he has a good hat.
  • Damiel: Hey, wait! You wanted to tell me more. I want to know. Everything!
  • Peter Falk: You need to figure that out for yourself. That's the fun of it.
  • Peter Falk: [inner voice] I don't even understand this character. It's amazing how little I know about this part. Maybe we'll discover it during the shoot. Well, I'll get a good costume and that's half the battle.
  • Peter Falk: [inner voice] Berlin. Emil Jannings. Kennedy. Von Stauffenberg. Helluva guy. That wasn't in Berlin. What difference does it make. It happened.
  • Peter Falk: [inner voice] Tokyo, Kyoto. Paris. London. Trieste. - - Berlin.
  • Peter Falk: [inner voice] I have to buy gifts for my children. Maybe picture frames. Am I a better actor now than I used to be?
  • Marion: Lieutenant, I bet you must know how to find people.
  • Peter Falk: Well, I know how to look for 'em. I don't always find them. You're looking for somebody?
  • Marion: I don't know. I just want to find someone.
  • Peter Falk: Yeah, who? A boy? A girl? A man? A woman? A man. Yes. Well, do you know his name? No. You know where he lives? No.
  • Marion: I know nothing.
  • Peter Falk: Nothing, huh. Well, this is a tough case.
