- Taxi Driver: Say, listen, Mister. I'm tired. Will you please pay me off and let me go?
- Godfrey D. Scott: No-no-no-no. I like you. There's something refreshing about you. You're a little gasolini, but, refreshing.
- Godfrey D. Scott: My name is Scott. I believe you know my father
- Murray: Not Rufus Scott's son?
- Godfrey D. Scott: The same. Unless the old gentleman has been fooling me.
- Murray: Oh, I remember. He told me once that you were either a genius in your own special line - or an idiot.
- Godfrey D. Scott: Ha-ha. Well I may be the former and being the former, I may be the latter.
- Godfrey D. Scott: You see, a detective appears after the crime is committed. A deflector appears before the crime is perpetrated and deflects it. And the deflection is in direct ratio with the animus of the exciting body.
- Godfrey D. Scott: Miss Latham, I can be trusted, up to a certain point.
- Georgia Latham: That's what Pappy told Mammy.
