Hot Rod (1956)

Jay Douglas: Officer Dorsey

Quotes 

• Dan Mathews : What happened after you gave him the money?

  Earl Davis : He told me not to follow him, or he'd kill me. Then he ran out. I called you as soon as I could.

  Officer Dorsey : Did you see a car outside?

  Earl Davis : No. No, I didn't see any car.

  Dan Mathews : Did you hear a car?

  Earl Davis : Yeah, come to think of it, I did!

  Dan Mathews : Anything unusual?

  Earl Davis : It made a roar. Extra powerful, like a racing car. Oh, it sounded like it could really go!

• [last lines] 

  [Chief Mathews and Officer Dorsey drive onto the Burke brothers' property. As Harry Burke sees them exit their patrol car, he pulls out his gun. He exchanges shots with the officers and is badly wounded] 

  Tommy Burke : [sitting in his hot rod]  Don't shoot.

  Dan Mathews : Now get out.

  [Tommy exits his car] 

  Dan Mathews : Put your hands on top of your head.

  Officer Dorsey : We'll need an ambulance and probably a coroner for this one.

  Dan Mathews : Awright. I'll call in.

  Tommy Burke : Harry's dead? It shoulda been me; I killed somebody drivin' that car. He never killed anyone.

  Dan Mathews : You both handled deadly weapons. You both handled 'em wrong. C'mon, let's go.
