Doc Erwin Riedenschneider
- Doc Riedenschneider: That copper, he recognized me.
- Cobby: How'd you know he was a copper?
- Doc Riedenschneider: I can smell one a block off.
- Cobby: Oh, don't worry about Ditrich. He's on my payroll. Practically a partner. Me and him, we're like that.
- [Cobby holds up his index and middle finger]
- Doc Riedenschneider: Experience has taught me never to trust a policeman. Just when you think one's all right, he turns legit.
- Doc Riedenschneider: Let's not stop. Wait till we get out of town, when we can do everything at once. Have a little meal, beer, a cigar. Go in comfort.
- Frank Schurz, taxi driver: I can see you're a man who likes his pleasures.
- Doc Riedenschneider: Well, Franz, what else is there in life, I ask you?
- Doc Riedenschneider: Ever been in Mexico City, Dix?
- Dix Handley: Nope.
- Doc Riedenschneider: It's 8000 feet up. The air is very pure. Many first-class clubs, restaurants, a horse track and girls. Beautiful young girls. How would you like to go there, all expenses paid?
- Dix Handley: Sorry, Doc, not interested. I'm heading home.
- Doc Riedenschneider: Listen, Dix. You can always go home. And when you do, it's nothing. Believe me. I've done it. Nothing.
- Doc Riedenschneider: Finally, sad to say, we need a hooligan. Most of these fellas are drug addicts. They're a no-good lot. Violence is all they know, but they are, unfortunately, necessary.
- Doc Riedenschneider: After this job, it's Mexico for me. I'll live like a king. Mexican girls are very pretty! I'll have nothing to do all day long but chase them in the sunshine.
- Doc Riedenschneider: Take my word for it, Mr. Emmerich. This is a ripe plum ready to fall.
- Alonzo D. Emmerich: My friend, according to the boys, all takes are easy; but as a lawyer, I make lots of money getting them out of jail.
- Louis Ciavelli: There's only one driver, as far as I'm concerned. Gus Minissi. Ask Cobby, he knows him.
- Cobby: Gus, 100 percent.
- Doc Riedenschneider: Get hold of him.
- Cobby: He'll take the heat and won't flap his lip.
- Doc Riedenschneider: Get hold of him.
- Doc Riedenschneider: The information she gave me is that he's broke.
- Cobby: Are you crazy? I've seen him operate for 20 years. He handles only the biggest cases. He's got two houses, four cars, half a dozen servants...
- Doc Riedenschneider: And one blond.
- Cobby: Doc, whose word you gonna take? Mine or some dimwitted dame?
- Doc Riedenschneider: Yours, naturally.
- Cobby: If he's broke, I wanna be broke the same way.
