Doctor X - Journalist Requests Change of Assignment
Lee Taylor:
Listen, I wanna get off this story. Put me back on crossword puzzles, covering woman's clubs, anything, will you?
Daily World Editor:
Say, what's the matter with you?
Lee Taylor:
What's the matter with me? Nothing at all. Only I spent all last night laying next to a bunch of stiffs, looking at a lot of goofy guys. I let a dame poke a gun in my stomach, and then I let a dumb policeman slip me a trick cigar.
Daily World Editor:
Say, you want to draw another paycheck, don't you?
Lee Taylor:
Certainly, that's my aim in life, but I'd like to keep out of the bughouse to enjoy it.

Little Caesar - Confrontation Between Law and Criminal
Sgt. Flaherty:
You'd better give up, Rico. You haven't got a chance.
Rico Bandello:
You want me, you'll have to come and get me.
Sgt. Flaherty:
You'd better be a nice boy, Enrico, and come out.
Rico Bandello:
You heard me. If you want me, you'll have to come and get me.
Sgt. Flaherty: [Flaherty aims a large machine-gun at the billboard]
I'll be with you in a minute... This is your last chance, Rico. Are you coming out or do you want to be carried out?
Sgt. Flaherty:
Well, Rico, it looks like you and I are going to take that little ride together.
Rico Bandello: [snarling]
No, no, we ain't. I told you, little buzzard like you will never put any cuffs on me.
Sgt. Flaherty:
You should have come out when I told you to, Rico.
Rico Bandello:
Mother of Mercy! Is this the end of Rico?

Little Caesar - Cops, Gunmen, and Unwelcome Attention
Sgt. Flaherty: [after Rico is shot]
So somebody finally put one in you.
Rico Bandello:
Yeah, but they just grazed me, though.
Sgt. Flaherty:
The old man will be glad to hear it. He takes such an interest in you.
Rico Bandello:
Are you telling me the cops couldn't get me no other way, so they hired a couple of gunmen?
Sgt. Flaherty:
If I wasn't on the force, I'd have done the job cheap.
Rico Bandello:
Did you ever stop to think what you'd look like with a lily in your hand?
Sgt. Flaherty:
No, I never did. I've been in this game a good many years, and I put the cuffs on a lot of mugs. Some day, you and I are gonna take a ride, Rico. And when we do, I'll have the cuffs on you too.
Rico Bandello:
No buzzard like you would ever put any cuffs on Rico.
Sgt. Flaherty: [after Rico departs]
I'm gonna get that swell-headed mug if it's the last thing I ever do.

Little Caesar - Confrontation Between Rico and Sgt. Flaherty
Rico Bandello: [To Flaherty]
What does that bull want in here? I'll show him where he gets off... Who invited you here?
Sgt. Flaherty:
You're getting up in the world, aren't you, Rico?
Rico Bandello:
The downstairs is open to anybody, even cops, but the upstairs is private.
Sgt. Flaherty:
Thanks, but I like to keep my eye on you, Rico. You see, I'm your friend. I like to see a young fellow getting up in the world. That's all. So long.
