Frank Sinatra credited as playing...
Tony Rome
- Tony Rome: I'm a private detective.
- Kit Forrest: How disappointing. And I thought you were someone dangerous.
- Tony Rome: That robe is making me nervous.
- Kit Forrest: You don't like it?
- Tony Rome: You'd look good in a paper napkin.
- Lt. Dave Santini: Listen, Manny, you book one more bet off this line, I'll run you in for impersonating a female!
- Tony Rome: I keep telling him he looks lousy in a miniskirt.
- Lt. Dave Santini: Things slow on the vice squad, Rubin? You can go off and play games?
- Rubin: I had a busy week. I personally closed two plays, put six belly dancers out of business, and personally attended several love-ins. I need a rest.
- Tony Rome: Yeah, Vice runs you down, you know.
- Lt. Dave Santini: You ought to know.
- Maria Baretto: I got all kinds of notions, once I'm in the mood.
- Tony Rome: Couple of drinks put you in a better mood?
- Maria Baretto: You're hip.
- Waldo Gronsky: I gotta find Sandra. She's supposed to live in this place with a Spanish broad, but she ain't showed.
- Tony Rome: Why don't you check with the Spanish dame?
- Waldo Gronsky: I got my reasons.
- Tony Rome: When'd you see her last?
- Maria Baretto: Last night when she went to Kit Forrest's party. You know, that society dish.
- Tony Rome: Yeah. I've read her name in the garbage columns.
- Kit Forrest: Well, shall I scream "rape" now or wait and phone in a complaint?
- Tony Rome: If you're asking me, I'd rather you press charges.
- Kit Forrest: I wonder how I would have turned out if I hadn't inherited a fortune.
- Tony Rome: Well, I can think of a couple of occupations.
- Kit Forrest: See, money does have its restrictions.
- Tony Rome: Yeah. You're broadening me.
- Lt. Dave Santini: I got two murders on my hands. If you got something, give it to me.
- Tony Rome: I could throw you a few hints, Dave. You might start at Jilly's - where there's a fun couple named Danny Yale and a butch girlfriend named Seymour. Or you could find Al Mungar and lean on him a little bit. And last but not least there's a very good-looking broad whose got a crazy breaststroke named Kit Forrest.
- Lt. Dave Santini: What ties them all together?
- Tony Rome: Could be cement.
- Tony Rome: Maybe you're the kind of dame who collects hoods. I used to know a broad collected bullfighters.
- Kit Forrest: You are a bastard, Mr. Rome!
- Tony Rome: My mother wouldn't like that.
- Tony Rome: [on the 2-way radio] Coast Guard. This is Straight Pass calling Coast Guard. Over.
- Coast Guard: Straight Pass, this is Coast Guard.
- Tony Rome: This is Straight Pass. Like to report a body floating off Fowey Rocks.
- Coast Guard: Is it a hazard to navigation? Is it a hazard to navigation?
- Tony Rome: No, just a dead, wet blonde hanging around in a block of cement. Over and out.
- Lt. Dave Santini: What killed her?
- Jerome, Medical Examiner: A knife with a long, narrow blade. Driven under the breastbone into her heart, then it was pulled out.
- Tony Rome: Anything else turn up in the autopsy?
- Jerome, Medical Examiner: No, except she never had any babies. Though she definitely had relations with men. She would have made a natural mother.
- Lt. Dave Santini: Is that all?
- Jerome, Medical Examiner: Uh-huh. What a pelvis. What a pelvis!
