• Tom Lawrence : [after Marcia declines to alibi for him]  Well, Inspector, you've caught me.

  Inspector Timothy Donovan : Then you're ready to confess?

  Tom Lawrence : Yes, it wasn't Marcia Brooks. It was a Miss...

  [Changing his mind] 

  Tom Lawrence : I'd rather not give her name. It would be violating a confidence.

  Inspector Timothy Donovan : Yeah? She doesn't have a name because she doesn't exist.

  Marcia Brooks : [Interrupting]  Oh, but she does, Inspector. I met her in his... office. I didn't get her name, but she's an exotic little tomato... if you like the acid type.

• Tom Lawrence : You're only a frightened minnow, beautiful. I want to catch the shark. Are you going to help me?

  Gwynne Gregory : I can't. I can't tell you why, but you've got to believe in me.

  Tom Lawrence : I may believe in you, but I certainly won't trust you.

• Marcia Brooks : I don't know one good reason why I should trust you.

  Tom Lawrence : I do.

  [He kisses her] 

• Goldie Locke : [after Mia has fired her gun and is lying on the bed]  Now, Boss, you know what happens with dames.

  Tom Lawrence : Yes, Goldie, isn't it wonderful?

• Tom Lawrence : Lesson Number One in how to catch a murderer... never accept the obvious.
