Mr. Dill
- Mr. Dill: Now, look here, commissioner, you've got to catch that ape-man.
- I. Doolittle - Police Commissioner: Just a minute, Mr. Dill. We're doing the best we can. As a matter of fact, we suspect he's not an ape-man but a real gorilla.
- Mr. Dill: Real gorilla, bah! Look here, commissioner, you've got to catch that ape-man.
- [he pounds the table; Curly, trying to eat a walnut, gets an idea and puts it nearby]
- Mr. Dill: [stressing the last word, he crushes it open obliviously] And if you don't, as head of the Citizens' League, I'll have to demand your resignation!
- [clearing it away, Curly lays three more in a row]
- Mr. Dill: I don't wanna make you any trouble, my friend, but this thing has gone far enough.
- [crushing them open in turn, again obliviously]
- Mr. Dill: As a matter of fact, it's gone too far. And something's gotta be done!
- I. Doolittle - Police Commissioner: But, Mr. Dill, give me a chance. We're trying. After all, policemen are only human beings. You know how the newspapers build these things up.
- [throwing the walnuts away, Curly eats the shells]
