Quotes 

  • Sam Wilde : Oh, I see. You cross the tracks on May Day with a basket of goodies for the poor slum kid, but back you scoot - and fast - to your own neck o' the woods. Don't you?

    Helen Brent : I wouldn't say that.

    Sam Wilde : No, you wouldn't *say* it... but that's the way it is.

  • Marty Waterman : And, Sam, in the mean time, no dames. Understand?

    Sam Wilde : I've got a dame on my mind, and she's dead. And that's plenty for me.

  • Marty Waterman : I've been scared somethin' like this would happen. The way you go off your head. And it's been worse, lately. Ever since that nervous crackup last summer. Honest, Sam, you go nuts about nothin'. Nothin' at all. You gotta' watch that. You can't just go around killin' people whenever the notion strikes you. It's not feasible.

    Sam Wilde : [angrily]  Why isn't it!

    Marty Waterman : All right, Sam. All right. It is.

  • Sam Wilde : [to Marty on the telephone]  We'll not only be rolling in dough, but marrying into this crowd'll fix it so as I can... So as I can spit in anybody's eye.
