- Sgt. Joe Friday: [busts the kitchen door with the suspect hiding behind it and knocks him down. The crook goes for his gun, but Friday has his pointed at his nose] Go ahead, pick it up.
- Claude LeBorg: ...Trouvez-les!
- ['Find them!"]
- William Smith: [Translating] The boy implores you to find whoever it is that did this to his father and see that they are punished for what they have done.
- Sergeant Joe Friday: [Claude wraps his arms around Friday's legs and cries hard] You don't have to translate any more.
- Officer Bill Gannon: Do you remember what kind of car they were driving?
- Freddie: Danged if I don't! It was a nineteen and fifty-nine Sword!
- Officer Bill Gannon: Beg your pardon.
- Freddie: A nineteen and fifty-nine Buick Sword!
- Officer Bill Gannon: You mean Le Sabre?
- Freddie: That's what you call 'em. Green it was.
- Carl Rockwell: Go swallow a germ you nigger cop!
- Sergeant Joe Friday: Now you listen to me, you gutter-mouth punk. I've dealt with you before, and every time I did, it took me a month to wash off the filth. I'll tell you what you did to that four-year old girl out in Westlake Park: you staked out a bench like you've always done. You bought a sack of penny candy; you waited until the right little girl came along... You got her in your car. She started to cry; you hit her across the mouth twice. You cut her lip with your ring. Knocked out three of her teeth. And then you know what you did to her... Now, I didn't say that, Rockwell, you did. That's exactly what you told those officers who arrested you. They advised you of your constitutional rights before you opened your mouth. Now you're trying to tell us you didn't understand. Well, you're a liar... Like every hoodlum since Cain up through Capone, you've learned to hide behind some quirk in the law. And mister, you are a two-bit hoodlum. You've fallen twice for A.D.W., burglary, three times, twice for forcible rape - I tagged you for those. And now you've graduated: you've moved to the sewer. You're a child molester. And this isn't the first time we have had you in here before you where guilty then and, mister, your guilty now. And one last thing, you smartmouth punk, if the department doesn't question the color of his skin, you damn well see you don't!
- Sgt. Joe Friday: Let's go, Markell. You're going downtown.
- Ricky Markell: I ain't gonna talk to you there, either.
- Sgt. Joe Friday: Well now, you don't have to. Shelton copped out - told me the whole story.He said you stabbed the guy and shot him three times, once in the right temple.
- Ricky Markell: Max didn't tell you that!
- Sgt. Joe Friday: He said it was your show - all he did was throw the mustard power in his face, just wanted to roll him, but you were so geed up you had to cut him open.
- Ricky Markell: Maxie's a liar!
- Don Negler, alias J. Johnson: I'd like to tell you right now why I killed them.
- Sergeant Joe Friday: Why?
- Don Negler, alias J. Johnson: Because they asked me to. They said they'd rather die than live with me.
- Sergeant Joe Friday: I'm afraid we have bad news for you.
- William Smith: My brother, he is in jail.
- Sergeant Joe Friday: No sir, he's dead. Someone killed him.
- William Smith: Charles dead... killed. He was struck by automobile.
- Sergeant Joe Friday: He was murdered.
