• Inspector Mike Waldeck : Look, Goldie, yuh know me. I got a heart.

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Yeah, Michael, I know yuh have, and I only wish you had a brain to go with it.

• Inspector Mike Waldeck : [to Goldie]  All right, son, I'm releasin' yuh, but first I want a description of the man you saw that night.

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Ah, naw, naw, naw, naw.

  Gay Lawrence : [Gay raises a reproving finger to Goldie]  Now, Goldie...

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : All right! You'll get it!

  Inspector Mike Waldeck : Take it, Herman.

  Herman : What was the contour of his face?

  Herman : [Goldie gives Gay a knowing look and Herman becomes annoyed]  The contour!

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : White.

  Herman : [Frustrated]  Not the color... the contour!

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Break it down, buddy.

  Herman : The shape of his face then! Full, square, oval?

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Kinda flat and full.

• Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Well, he was about 45, maybe; full head of hair, parted on the right side. His eyes were too close together; with glasses. He had a bent nose, small chin.

  Herman : Smooth shaven?

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : I don't know; I didn't kiss him.

• Gay Lawrence : It's five o'clock.

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : It's four forty-three.

  Gay Lawrence : Alright, we'll stay 17 minutes overtime tomorrow. I've been in that office since ten o'clock this morning!

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Well, what about me? I ain't even got a window to look out of.

  Gay Lawrence : Well, you can have my chair tomorrow at lunch hour. Come on. Let's call it a day.

• Gay Lawrence : A tough day at the office, Jerry. You can fix me a large spinach juice.

  Jerry : Someone waiting to see you boys.

  Gay Lawrence : Oh, see who it is Goldie.

  Jerry : Wery pretty girl, boss.

  Jerry : Never mind.

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : That guy ought to live in a harem.

  Jerry : He do.

• Helen Reed : You're Mr. Lawrence, aren't you? I heard so much about you, it's like meeting your favorite mystery author. Only, all the things really happened to you.

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Look, sister. He took the pledge: no more crimes, no more dames.

  Helen Reed : That must be your Dr. Watson! Your faithful and loyal colleague. All characters like you have a kind of a stooge, don't they?

• Helen Reed : [driving]  Maxine sent me down to ask you to call on her tonight.

  Gay Lawrence : We better circle around a bit, first.

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Hey, I got a hunch we're being tagged.

  Gay Lawrence : Naturally.

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Step on it sister.

  Gay Lawrence : A couple of Mike's men.

  Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Oh, in that case, I don't mind a couple of Dicks around.

  Helen Reed : What's he talking about?

• Jonathan G. 'Goldie' Locke : Goldie, get me a lawyer! Get me a habeas corpus!
