Pickup Alley (1957)

Lionel Murton: Murphy

Quotes 

• Murphy : Every now and again we get some little junkie in here who's so far down the line he's makin' half a buck profit on a twenty dollar shot. He doesn't even know what year it is - never mind who's hiring him. It doesn't seem to add up, does it?

• Murphy : Well, where have you been?

  Charles Sturgis : Crawled around the wet belly in the gutter, lookin' for dope peddlers, needle pushers, saying filthy things, day in and day out.

• Murphy : I'd like to get ahold of a couple a million dollars from one of these foundations and hire a few doctors and find out why people keep sticking needles in themselves. I'd like to do that a lot. But, I'm too busy here trying to find out how the junk gets into the country.

• Murphy : Will you stop tryin' to fight a one man war!
