Police Lt. Jacoby
- Peter Gunn: Immortality is a happy childhood.
- Police Lt. Jacoby: What's your point?
- Peter Gunn: We grow up and we die. Worrying about it just gets us there a little sooner.
- Police Lt. Jacoby: Trite, but not very original.
- Police Lt. Jacoby: There's a rumor that you might be considering certain reprisals against the party or parties responsible for the demise of the late Mr. Scarlotti.
- Peter Gunn: Interesting rumor.
- Police Lt. Jacoby: This is going to get worse before it gets better.
- Peter Gunn: It's a possibility.
- Police Lt. Jacoby: I don't want you around steaming up my glasses.
- Police Lt. Jacoby: Tell you what: I'll promise to stop worrying if you promise to butt out. After all, what did Scarlotti ever do for you?
- Peter Gunn: Saved my life.
- Police Lt. Jacoby: Sure, but what else?
- Peter Gunn: You've got a point, lieutenant.
- Police Lt. Jacoby: [harangued by Gunn for not arresting Fusco] Next time I bust Fusco, I'm gonna make it stick. I want him just as much as you do, Pete.
- Peter Gunn: [angry, and about to leave] If you wanted him as much as I do, you'd have picked him up an hour ago.
- Police Lt. Jacoby: Pete - I'll go after you just as fast as I go after Fusco.
- Peter Gunn: [exiting] Then I've got nothing to worry about!
