• Lieutenant Abrams : You know that jockey Golez, the one who was caught throwing the fourth race yesterday? He was shot.

  Nora Charles : My, they're strict at this track!

• Lieutenant Abrams : [Reading the "laundry list" found in Whitey Barrow's pocket]  Three bloomers, twenty-five kimonos, ten slips, five panties, fifteen chemises.

  Nora Charles : Sounds like wash day at Vassar.

• Lieutenant Abrams : Well, doc?

  Second Coroner : Shot.

  Lieutenant Abrams : No kidding. I thought maybe he drowned.

• Nora Charles : Either I'm dreaming or I've lived through this before.

  Lieutenant Abrams : Funny how I meet you at all my homicides.

  Nick Charles : Well, we won't be at this one long.

• Lieutenant Abrams : What really worries me is that jockey.

  Nick Charles : Yes. Still dead, huh?

• Lieutenant Abrams : Is this your gun?

  Paul Clarke : No. No. It was Whitey's and it hasn't been fired.

  Lieutenant Abrams : So it hasn't been fired? Then its usin' a new perfume! Burnt powder!
