[last lines]
Yancy Derringer : You had better be very careful of the company you keep, Miss Lake, because as you can see sometimes there is no justice.
Lavinia Lake : When will we see you again?
Yancy Derringer : Thirty days?
John Colton : Mm-hmm.

John Colton : Hang it all, Yancy, what do you do with a beautiful girl like that?
Yancy Derringer : What would I do?
John Colton : No! What would I do?
Yancy Derringer : Well, I would start with a light lunch, light conversation, light wine and heavy complements; finish with a gay dinner, gay champagne, gay flowers, gay music and threats of suicide if she spurns you. That way she may forget her glove.
John Colton : What does that mean?
Yancy Derringer : That means tomorrow you can return it and start all over again. Sooner or later, something has to give.
John Colton : But suppose she doesn't forget her glove?
Yancy Derringer : Ha! Steal it.
