- Michael Dominick: This is a symbiotic society, Jackie. Everthing feeds off of everythins else. You're good for a few more years of bringing the stuff in. I'm afraid we'll just have to get our investment back that way.
- Jackie Rogers: What happens if I refuse?
- Michael Dominick: Miss Carlson asked the same question.
- Jackie Rogers: That's why you killed her...
- Michael Dominick: She died of an overdose of stupidity.
- [Jackie start to leave]
- Michael Dominick: I sincerely hope that you won't suffer from the same disease.
- [she closes the door behind her]
- Sam McCloud: You know, Chief, you're the kinda fella that would tell a punchline before a guy got the joke out.
- Peter B. Clifford: You know I've heard that before, and it still isn't funny.
- Sam McCloud: You know, I get hungry round seven o'clock, I'd appreciate it if you'd be ready at that time.
- Jackie Rogers: Oh, I have absolutely no intention of going to dinner with you.
- Sam McCloud: I'll pick ya up, seven o'clock sharp.
- Jackie Rogers: But you... you don't even know where I live.
- Sam McCloud: Well, I will by seven.
- Michael Dominick: What about the shopping plaza?
- Alexander Montello: I like people to move and sidewalks to stand still.
- Jackie Rogers: 33, what's that, number of your boy scout troop?
- Sam McCloud: [chuckles] No, no... that's my badge.
- Jackie Rogers: Your badge?
- Sam McCloud: Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud, at your service, ma'am.
- Jackie Rogers: You're a cop?
- Sam McCloud: Well, down in the neck of the woods where I come from, I'm known as a Peace Officer.
- Jackie Rogers: Well, that's just a longer version of the same word, isn't it?
- Sam McCloud: No, no... it's a whole lot friendlier.
- Michael Dominick: I'll send somebody.
- Alexander Montello: He wants you. For some reason, he's made it personal.
- Michael Dominick: But I could be walking right into a setup.
- Alexander Montello: Well, we're starting out with nothing, what do we got to lose?
- Michael Dominick: Me.
- Doorman: What's all this?
- Sergeant Joe Broadhurst: Police business.
- Doorman: What kinda police business?
