- Tommy Chan: [Indicating window] Go on in.
- Birmingham Brown: Why don't YOU go in?
- Tommy Chan: You'll be harder to see in the dark if you go in.
- Birmingham Brown: Well, don't rush me - don't rush me.
- Tommy Chan: Now, don't turn on any lights.
- Birmingham Brown: Don't you worry any. I ain't. I'm gonna blend in with that darkness.
- Police Sgt. Pat Finley: [Referring to Charkie] Well, I guess the old man knows what he's doin'. but sometimes I wish he'd take us more into his confidence.
- Police Lt. Mike Ruark: Pat, my boy, for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, Mr. Chan is very peculiar... Shakespeare.
- Charlie Chan: [to Lt. Ruark] Surprised detective might just as well clutch iron ball and jump in lake.
- Birmingham Brown: [after hearing his name called from a cell] Well, Willie Best, how are you? I'm glad to see you. What are you doin'?
- Birmingham Brown: Ninety.
- Birmingham Brown: Ninety what?
- Willie Best: Ninety days.
- Birmingham Brown: Oh, I see what you mean. Maybe I can get you out. I got an "in" around here.
- Willie Best: I don't need no "in." I'm already in. I wanna get out.
