- Stewart's anonymous contact: [speaking on the telephone] Is everything all right, Mr. Stewart?
- Ken Stewart: Couldn't be better. Who I am speaking to please?
- Stewart's anonymous contact: Curious, aren't you?
- Ken Stewart: I admit I'm curious, yes.
- Stewart's anonymous contact: Come to the fishing doc at nine.
- Ken Stewart: I didn't say I was foolish, just curious.
- Signora Cervantes: What can I offer you? An iced tea? Whiskey?
- Ken Stewart: Let's compromise - iced whiskey.
- Gil: Okay, get out nice and slow and don't try anything. Now turn around and let me look at you. I wanna see the expression on your face when I start pumping bullets into you.
- Ken Stewart: Say, that's a pretty good speech. Where'd you get it from - an old Cagney picture?
- Ken Stewart: Does Larry Peacock know Elmer Hayes?
- Gloria: No, I don't believe he did. Elmer Hayes never talks to anyone... but can't we talk about something more pleasant?
- Ken Stewart: Like what?
- Gloria: Don't you have any ideas?
- Ken Stewart: What about?
- Gloria: Well... this.
- [Ken and Gloria kiss passionately]
- Ken Stewart: Very interesting topic.
- Ken Stewart: How come you keep rescuing me?
- Captain Mike Jefferson: Because you keep getting in trouble.
- Gloria: Ken! Here, in the pool. Aren't you going to say hello? Are you always rude to ladies?
- Ken Stewart: That all depends on the lady.
- Gloria: What are you trying to say?
- Ken Stewart: That there are real ladies and others who will do everything and anything but just can't make it.
- Elmer Hayes: Well, Mr. Stewart, here we are safe at last... or are we?
- Ken Stewart: What do you mean?
- [one of Hayes's men slugs Stewart with a blackjack]
- Ken Stewart: Goodbye. Take care of your collection.
- [Stewart gets in a taxi and heads to the airport]
- Signora Cervantes: How I would like to add you to it.
- [last lines]
- Ken Stewart: What an impossible life. Either the gangsters are after your hide or the women are. With you at least I feel safe. I know that you...
- Jane Peacock: Aw, Ken, don't you realize I've been crazy about you from the first moment I saw you?
- [they kiss]
- Jane Peacock: [speaking on the phone] Ken, listen. I just found something very interesting. It's a copy of a letter Larry wrote.
- Ken Stewart: A report?
- Jane Peacock: No, it's an ordinary letter.
- Ken Stewart: Read it.
- Jane Peacock: It's much too complicated.
- Ken Stewart: Don't explain it; just read it.
- Jane Peacock: Can't you come over here, Ken?
- [in a mirror, Jane spots a thug sneaking up behind her]
- Jane Peacock: I-I'm afraid I've lost Aunt Clara's address. I was sure I had it, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
- Ken Stewart: Kay, what's wrong? Are you in trouble?
- Jane Peacock: [stealthily slides Larry's letter under her desk blotter] Yes. I've even looked under the blotter on the desk for it, but I'm afraid I lost it. Oh, Ken come over before...!
- [the thug clamps a chloroformed soaked rag over Jane's mouth and drags her away]
- Jane Peacock: Mmmph!
- Ken Stewart: Jane!
