Play Misty for Me - Unexpected Call in the Night
Dave Garver:
Hello?
Sgt. McCallum:
Garver!
Dave Garver:
Yeah.
Sgt. McCallum:
Sgt McCallum. Sorry to wake you but something has come up.
Dave Garver:
Yeah I know, she just paid me a visit with a butcher knife.
Sgt. McCallum:
Why? Because she was released on parole pending further legal action.
Dave Garver:
When?
Sgt. McCallum:
A week ago.
Dave Garver:
Well I sure like the way you broke your ass to let me know about it!
Sgt. McCallum:
I just found out about it myself.
Dave Garver:
Who's in charge down there anyway?
Sgt. McCallum:
Now look you wanna help find her or would you rather just sit there and belly-ache?
Dave Garver:
All right.
Sgt. McCallum:
Now exactly what did she say to you?
Dave Garver:
I told you, she said that she was well and that she was going to Hawaii.
Sgt. McCallum:
Uh what else?
Dave Garver:
I already told you.
Sgt. McCallum:
Well tell me again.
Dave Garver:
You know Sergeant, you really make lousy conversation!
Sgt. McCallum:
You make lousy coffee!

How?

Cause he looks too damn good, that's how!

Dirty Harry - Waiting for Answers in a Meeting
Mayor:
All right, let's have it.
Insp. Harry Callahan:
Have what?
Mayor:
Your report. What have you been doing?
Insp. Harry Callahan:
Oh, well for the past three quarters of an hour, I have been sitting on my ass in your outer office, waiting on you.
Lt. Al Bressler:
Dammit all, Harry, that's the Mayor you're talking to! ...
Mayor:
Won't you sit down Inspector Callahan? ... There's a madman loose, I've asked you what's being done, fair enough?
Insp. Harry Callahan:
We've got a dozen men checking identification files, checking on all known extortionists, roof top prowlers, rifle nuts, peepers..
Lt. Al Bressler:
Mr. Mayor — we've arranged for rooftop surveillance and helicopter patrols especially around the Catholic churches and schools and in the black areas.
Insp. Harry Callahan:
Ballistics is checking on the slug. We're pretty sure it's a .30-06, seven lands and grooves, right-hand twist ...
Lt. Al Bressler:
Sir — we're running a computer check on everybody in the files whose birthday falls between October 23rd and November 21st.
Mayor:
Why?
Insp. Harry Callahan:
Natives of Scorpio.
Mayor:
Thank you Inspector. Have any of you mentioned this note to anyone? How about you? (looking at Callahan)
Insp. Harry Callahan:
Nobody.
Mayor:
Your wife, sweetheart, ... press?
Insp. Harry Callahan:
Nobody.
Mayor:
All right. Give the message to the Chronicle. We'll agree to pay, but we'll tell him we need time to get the money together.
Insp. Harry Callahan:
Wait a minute. Do I get this right? You're gonna play this creep's game?
Mayor:
It'll get us more breathing space.
Insp. Harry Callahan:
It also might get somebody killed. Why don't you let me meet with the son-of-a-bitch?
Chief:
No, none of that. You'd end up with a real blood-bath.
Mayor:
I agree with the Chief. We'll do it this way, all right?
Lt. Al Bressler:
Thank you Mr. Mayor. Come on Callahan, let's go.
Mayor:
(calls out) Callahan.
Insp. Harry Callahan:
Sir?
Mayor:
I don't want any more trouble like you had last year in the Fillmore District. Understand? That's my policy.
Insp. Harry Callahan:
Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard; that's my policy.
Mayor:
Intent? How did you establish that?
Insp. Harry Callahan:
When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.
Mayor: [after Callahan has left]
I think he's got a point.
