Quotes 

• Marina Conway : [Getting away from his love grip]  You smell like a gutter.

  Ward 'Paco' Conway : I just came from one.

• Marina Conway : [Pawing her]  You smell like an animal. And you act like one.

  Ward 'Paco' Conway : And you love it.

• Marina Conway : [Clutching Jeff]  No, Jeff! No. Don't go. I'm desperate! I need you. Help me. Help me!

  Jeff Dawson : [Releases her]  I'm sorry for you, but I can't help you.

  Marina Conway : You mean you won't. You don't want to. Why?

  Jeff Dawson : I mean this time I'm helping myself.

  Marina Conway : That's not the reason, you know it. What is it, that girl? No, it can't be. You're not in love with her.

  Jeff Dawson : Well, now that I hear you say it, I think I am.

  Marina Conway : Well, you can't. I won't let you. You belong with me and you're going to stay with me.

  Jeff Dawson : You're wrong. On both counts.

• Jeff Dawson : [Confronting Marina]  What have you done, Marina?

  Marina Conway : I committed murder to get you. Murder!

  Jeff Dawson : You killed Paco?

  Marina Conway : I did it for you, don't you understand? I did it for you!

  Jeff Dawson : [Choking her]  You killed Paco. You killed him!

  [He catches himself and releases her] 

  Jeff Dawson : Makes me sick even to look at you.

  Marina Conway : You'll never get away from me. I'll never let you go. I'll say you helped me. I'll say I killed him and you helped me. I don't care if they hang me just so they hang you, too!

• Sal Donnelly : [after Marina lays a wad of cash at the blackjack tail]  That's a pretty big bet.

  Marina Conway : I'm Marina Conway. I'd like to ask you a question, Miss...?

  Sal Donnelly : Donnelly.

  Marina Conway : I'd appreciate a frank answer.

  Sal Donnelly : Certainly, Mrs. Conway.

  Marina Conway : Is Jeff Dawson in love with you?

  Sal Donnelly : I don't mind admitting I'm in love with him.

  Marina Conway : That's not what I asked.

  Sal Donnelly : I can't answer for him.

  Marina Conway : You could if he loved you.

  [Starts to leave] 

  Marina Conway : Thanks, you've told me what I want to know.

  Sal Donnelly : Mrs. Conway. He's not in love with you. Not any more.

  Marina Conway : He tell you that?

  Sal Donnelly : He didn't have to.

  Marina Conway : You're a liar, a cheap little liar. What can he see in you?

  Sal Donnelly : I'll ask him next time.

  Marina Conway : There won't be many more next times. Remember that.

• Marina Conway : Why do you always fight me?

  Jeff Dawson : You have a husband.

  Marina Conway : You could've been my husband. Why aren't you?

  Jeff Dawson : Because you're no good, Marina.

  Marina Conway : I know. I wasn't always this way. With you it was different. You brought out everything decent in me. I wanted to be decent. When you walked out, you stole my chance.
