- Larry Fleming: [referring to Dottie's mother] Six husbands, and you're still working on your first.
- Dorothy 'Dottie' Vail: Mother used up all the men we knew.
- Larry Fleming: Where are you from, Dottie?
- Dorothy 'Dottie' Vail: Pittsburgh.
- Larry Fleming: You didn't like it?
- Dorothy 'Dottie' Vail: I don't know. I never got a clear look at it.
- Larry Fleming: You don't think very much of people, do you?
- Sam Hurley: I don't think very much of anything.
- Larry Fleming: [as Charlie enters the room.] What are you doing here?
- Reporter Charlie: Relieving you from duty as they say in the English war pictures. I'm covering the blast, and you're going to Carson City.
- Larry Fleming: For what?
- Reporter Charlie: [Hands newspaper to Larry.] They had a prison break up there.
- Larry Fleming: [Looking at paper and sees the headline "Sam Hurley, Nation's No. 1 Killer and Accomplice Escape from State Prison"] When did he break out?
- Reporter Charlie: Last night when nobody was looking. *You* are to leave *immediately.*
- Colonel Wright: Have you been cleared to cover this operation?
- Reporter Charlie: Not completely; we'd better get started.
- Colonel Wright: Why does that paper of yours have to make a switch at this late date?
- Reporter Charlie: Because Larry is out *big ace* scoop reporter, and Sam Hurley is big news.
- [Larry and Charlie give a knowing nod to each other.]
- Colonel Wright: What about the blast?
- Larry Fleming: Well, Colonel, when you've seen one atom bomb, you've seen them all.
- [Turning toward Charlie.]
- Larry Fleming: My regards to your wife and children.
- Reporter Charlie: [With a "singing" lilt in his voice.] Drive carefully.
- Larry Fleming: Put cotton in your ears.
- Reporter Charlie: [Sits on desk and looks at Colonel Wright.] Hadn't we just hurry like anything?
- Colonel Wright: [Picks up telephone; in a loud, stern voice.] Get me security!
