  Frances Ransom : Which one?

  Police Lt. Joe Warne : Keith Vincent.

  Frances Ransom : Oh, wasn't he supposed to have killed himself?

  Frances Ransom : "We" being a certain inspector of police?

  Police Lt. Joe Warne : "We" a certain lieutenant of police.

  Frances Ransom : Inspector or lieutenant they mean the same thing to me: wrinkled neck tie, messy clothes, big feet.

  Police Lt. Joe Warne : I haven't got such big feet.

  Frances Ransom : I wouldn't be interested.

  Police Lt. Joe Warne : I suppose not... it'd take somebody like Vincent.

• Frances Ransom : [to Joe on movie set]  Now why don't you hop on your scooter, sonny boy, and blow. I've got to emote!

• Pat : [trying to push through the apartment door]  Well, baby, it's been a nice evening.

  Frances Ransom : [holding him back]  Why not let it stay that way? Good night!

  Police Lt. Joe Warne : [waiting inside apartment]  That's as good a block as I ever saw. Ever thought of trying out for the Green Bay Packers?
