Quotes 

• Joan Manning Williams : I've had enough with being a policeman's daughter. And I don't want to be another policeman's wife!

  Buck Bachman : Well, now, what's the matter with policemen?

  Joan Manning Williams : They think themselves great heroes.

  Buck Bachman : Well, we've got to uphold the law.

  Joan Manning Williams : Law! Is bull-dogging, third-degreeing people into confessing crimes they didn't commit, is that law?

  Buck Bachman : No, but... Oh, I don't understand.

  Joan Manning Williams : Of course you don't. You're a policeman. And you'll never understand!
