- Judge Parker: You can eat later.
- Simp: Aw, gee, and I was so hungry.
- Pete: Oh, why don't you eat?
- Simp: He ain't paying me for that.
- Muggs: Five millions guys thumbin' their way along the road and we gotta pick up a judge. That's fate.
- Muggs: I think this organ has sumpin' t' do with the secret. You know, we heard it moanin' just before that ghost showed up. Then Agnes says "not to touch it." And Knuckles said Miss Mason was to meet him in this room. She vanished from this room. I'll betcha there's a secret panel.
- Danny: You're crazy. You've been seein' so many movies.
- Muggs: Movies - that's it! Say, what's The Thin Man got that I ain't got?
- Danny: Myrna Loy.
- [Louise dreads going to the judge's gloomy mountain mansion]
- Simp: [nervously] Is it haunted, Miss Louise?
- Louise Mason: I don't think so, but it needs a good ghost to give it a little life.
- Scruno: [seeing a graveyard at the Judge's estate] G-g-ghosts!
- Judge Parker: That graveyard has stood there for centuries. All my wife's ancestors are buried there. So is she. It's exclusively for the family.
- Scruno: Mister, you has my word, I-I won't intrude on your family.
- Giles: You'd like for something to happen to Louise, wouldn't you? With Louise out of the way, your slow embezzling of her fortune would never be found out.
- Judge Parker: And with me out of the way you could get ahold of her and her money.
- Judge Parker: Say, haven't I seen you somewhere before?
- Knuckles Dolan: Yes, sir. I was on trial in your court. I'm Knuckles Dolan.
- Judge Parker: Knuckles Dolan?
- Knuckles Dolan: That's right. You sentenced me to death for murder. I was innocent, afterwards exonerated. Remember? I'm up here with the boys, their guardian.
- Judge Parker: [to Giles] He's up here to murder me.
- Agnes: Don't go, pretty lady. Don't go... yet.
- Louise Mason: What do you want?
- Agnes: You have such nice, ssssssoft, white skin.
