Benton
- Benton: Well boss, do I toss him to the sharks?
- King Mantell: What's the matter? Don't you like sharks?
- Cragg: Where did you spend the evening, Mr. Mantell?
- King Mantell: Right here.
- Lorel: Did you entertain a visitor?
- King Mantell: No, nobody was here.
- Lorel: You were alone?
- King Mantell: Well, practically. I was with Benton.
- Benton: Yeah, we were *both* alone.
- King Mantell: You ought to know my technique by now. First, flowers. Second, sweet music. Third, a little wine.
- Benton: Then I have to find out if there's a husband in town.
- King Mantell: I'll take care of Darcy.
- Benton: What are you gonna do? Slap the mug on the wrists and ask him for the next dance?
- King Mantell: If you really want to do something for me, fix it so I can get next to the Princess without catching pneumonia.
- Benton: Leave it to me. I can handle those dames.
- Benton: King. I just saw Darcy go into the royal suite.
- King Mantell: Yeah? Are you sure it was Darcy?
- Benton: Sure. Rats like that don't come in pairs.
- Benton: Take Terry McGovern. There was a fellow with a left hook. All he had to do was hit you in the chin and break every bone in your ankle.
- Benton: I'm saving this page for your obituary notice. I can see it now. "King Mantell Gets Himself Bumped Off for a Dame."
- Benton: I'll stick around, all right, but I ain't no Charlie Chan. When I'm picking that guy's sewing kit out of your back, don't say I didn't tell you, that's all.
- Benton: [to King Mantell who is going to be bait to catch the murderer] I don't know why you want to trade your concertina for a harp.
