Hostage (1958)

Gretchen Thomas: Mrs. Carter

Quotes 

• Whitey Sims : Oh, now, listen lady, if the cops get me it's a murder rap. It's my life, you understand that?! So, if I have to kill you and your daughter, I will do it!

  Mrs. Carter : You are frightened, aren't you? And a frightened man doesn't think very clearly. You may kill us, Mr. whatever-your-name-is, but they'll get you!

• [last lines] 

  [the hostage situation has been resolved, and Dan Mathews checks on Mrs. Carter] 

  Dan Mathews : I'm gonna have to take my hat off to you.

  [tips his hat slightly] 

  Dan Mathews : You got an awful lotta moxie.

  Mrs. Carter : I couldn't worry or get excited. Doctor's orders. I have a bad heart.

  Mrs. Carter : Oh? Well let me tell you something: I wish ours was as bad. Thanks very much.
