- Lona McLane: You like to take me home?
- Paul Sheridan: Now?
- Lona McLane: Sure.
- Paul Sheridan: Your place or mine?
- Lona McLane: Surprise me.
- Paul Sheridan: If you'd known where his dough came from, would you still have taken it?
- Lona McLane: Money isn't dirty. Just people.
- Paul Sheridan: [after trying to start her car] I don't know. I don't think you're getting any spark.
- Lona McLane: [intending a double entendre] I'm not?
- Paul Sheridan: Not enough to start the car.
- Lona McLane: Any suggestions?
- Detective Harris: [looking at Ann through binoculars] Oooo, man!
- Detective Schaeffer: The redhead on the third floor?
- Detective Harris: Well, you only get out of sweater what you put into, I always say.
- Detective Schaeffer: Yeah, you said it twice this morning. Let me have a look.
- Rick McAllister: Money? It's nice, but it doesn't make the world go around.
- Paul Sheridan: Doesn't it? Do you know anybody who's happily married who hasn't got plenty of it?
- Rick McAllister: Sure, my old man...
- Paul Sheridan: Yeah? My folks hated each other. Fighting all the time... and always about money.
- Paul Sheridan: Do you... get picked up often?
- Lona McLane: Would you care?
- Paul Sheridan: If I said yes, it wouldn't make much sense, would it?
- Lona McLane: No. I guess it wouldn't.
- Paul Sheridan: The answer's yes.
- Lona McLane: Would it make any sense if I told you it's never happened before?
- Paul Sheridan: Maybe.
- Pickup Artist in Bar: I'm afraid I gave you the wrong impression.
- Lona McLane: I doubt it.
- Pickup Artist in Bar: No really, you remind me of someone. Haven't you ever met me before?
- Lona McLane: Hundreds of times.
- Pickup Artist in Bar: I don't get it.
- Lona McLane: And you won't, so try someplace else.
- Rick McAllister: New car, mink coat, no clocks in the joint... probably the story of her life.
- Paul Sheridan: You just don't like women, Rick.
- Rick McAllister: What keeps you single?
- Paul Sheridan: Maybe I like 'em too much.
- Rick McAllister: I've seen all kinds since we joined the force... B-girls, hustlers, blackmailers, shoplifters, drunks. You know, I think I'd still be married if I could find a half-honest woman. Must be a few of 'em around.
- Paul Sheridan: Watch yourself! Those few might just be smarter!
- Carl Eckstrom: Did you ever read the statistics on bank jobs, Paddy? Ever hear of a heist man being picked up afterward on a highway or international border? They find them holed up in the big city, and seventy percent of the time there's a dame with 'em.
- Lona McLane: We could have that money, Paul, you and I. Look, Harry's going to die no matter what we do. So what difference will it make if he shows up and he's killed?
- Paul Sheridan: Be a perfect set-up for a cop, wouldn't it? I could knock him off, hide the money and call the meat wagon. No questions asked.
- Lona McLane: Think what that money could mean to us, Paul. To you and me.
- Paul Sheridan: And I thought I was using you. Get out. Get out!
- Lona McLane: Sorry?
- Paul Sheridan: Sorry? For what?
- Lona McLane: Picking me up.
- Paul Sheridan: Is that what you call it, a pick-up?
- Lona McLane: Don't you?
- Lona McLane: Funny, when I saw you come into the theater tonight, I... I thought how awful it was. The two of us there all alone.
- Paul Sheridan: It doesn't make sense, a girl like you. New car, mink coat. Perfume, fifty dollars an ounce.
- Lona McLane: It's a hundred.
- Paul Sheridan: Still alone. Why?
- Lona McLane: Uh-uh. No questions. Don't spoil it.
- Paul Sheridan: Look, Paddy, Eckstrom can't prove a thing. Why throw away your pension?
- Paddy Dolan: Because I spent twenty-five years being a dumb, honest cop. And I'm stuck with it.
