Det. Morris Bradbury : Phil, this doesn't have to be a trip to the dentist. Like I say, we've got no beef with you. Fella's partner goes bad, goes on the take, that happens. *You* are square with us... just because Harry Borden-...
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : I don't need a history lesson!
Det. Morris Bradbury : Someone's throwing lesser demons at you, black magic from the Pit of Asagoth, and you don't even carry a rabbit's foot!
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : I can handle it.
Det. Morris Bradbury : Well, I'm not worried about you, Phil... I'm worried about the people who might get in the way.

Det. Morris Bradbury : [Lovecraft shows Bradbury a voodoo doll] What's this?
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : It's the murder weapon. Well, Bradbury, at least she found a nice clean way to bump him off.
Det. Morris Bradbury : Time was you had to look a man in the eye before you could kill him... you owed him that.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : Yeah, now with the miracle know-how you can do it by tying six knots in a piece of string. Ain't modern living grand?
Det. Morris Bradbury : Magic... gives me the shakes what you can buy in this town.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : Well, they said it would make things easier.
Det. Morris Bradbury : And it has.

Det. Morris Bradbury : [in Bradbury's office] I used to hate your guts... you know that, don't you?
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : You told me often enough.
Det. Morris Bradbury : Now you're about the only man in this town I can trust.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : Gosh, Bradbury... I didn't know you cared.
Det. Morris Bradbury : It's just you're the only guy now walking around without a magic wand up his ass. I got vampires in West Hollywood, salamanders coming out of the fire hydrants in Santa Monica, black rain, red rain, hail the size of your fist.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : Magic is the way of the future. You wouldn't want to buck the future, would you, Bradbury?
Det. Morris Bradbury : If this is the future,

Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : [to his female client, whom the police have just arrested] Sorry, angel, but I don't play the sap for anybody. Bad for business.
Det. Otto Grimaldi : Hey, Lovecraft... too bad you're losing out on your fee! With a client like this, maybe you already collected... up *front*, if you know what I mean.
[she glares at him, then decks him with a punch that knocks him to the ground]
Det. Morris Bradbury : [arriving on the scene] Get up, Grimaldi... people'll think you've never been socked by a dame before.

Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : How is it?
Det. Morris Bradbury : Bad.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : It's always bad.
Det. Morris Bradbury : There's bad and then there's bad. Something's coming, something ugly. And it's guys like me got to clean up the mess. Now I got enough to worry about, Phil, so do us both a favor... watch your back.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft : Thanks.
