Angell
- [Brannigan has used a revolver wrapped in a plastic bag to coerce Angell into revealing the whereabouts of Ben Larkin. Brannigan then puts the weapon on the table and telephones police headquarters]
- Brannigan: You must be getting old, Angell, trying to push second-rate paper like this.
- [Brannigan reaches the desk sergeant and doesn't notice that Angell has taken the gun in the plastic bag]
- Angell: Turn around, big man!
- Brannigan: Angell, you're a real bush-leaguer.
- Angell: Oh yeah?
- [Angell squeezes the gun's trigger, but it clicks empty]
- Brannigan: Oh, you know something, I don't think it's loaded.
- Angell: [flying into a rage] Why you dirty lousy Mick! You got no rules! You got no...
- [Brannigan grabs a piece of wood and clobbers Angell, who falls unconscious onto the table. Brannigan ties him up while the desk sergeant on the phone yells for him]
- Brannigan: [to the phone] Nice to be wanted.
- Angell: [waking up] Listen Brannigan, you're dead! There's a contract out on you!
- [Brannigan tosses the empty gun on the table next to Angell]
- Brannigan: Try explaining that to your parole officer.
- Angell: Larkin's put up 25 Gs to get you knocked off. You're gonna be walking down the street, or sleeping, or sitting on the can, and the next minute, Brannigan, you are dead! You lousy Mick, you!
