- Jane Mallory: So tell, how were you planning to do it? With your big strong hands? Or, do you have a large, blunt instrument on you?
- Hamberger: I like to improvise.
- Jane Mallory: Oh, good! So do I.
- [kiss]
- Second Clerk: Why does everybody have to use such bad language around here?
- First Clerk: I haven't got any fuckin' idea.
- Hamberger: Hold on, I don't want a falling down drunk on my hands.
- Jane Mallory: This one's for for you.
- [gives Hamberger a drink]
- Hamberger: Thank you.
- Jane Mallory: Besides, I might fall in your direction. Would you catch me?
- Hamberger: I'm sorry. I don't like to have my picture taken. You never know what someone's going to do with it.
- Jane Mallory: You have a very rugged face. Has anyone ever told you you ought to try modeling?
- Hamberger: I thought you had to be good looking to be a model.
- Jane Mallory: Well, it doesn't hurt.
- Jane Mallory: I suppose it's difficult to understand why a beautiful woman would want to take her own life. But, often they don't see themselves as beautiful. They sometimes just see themselves as objects that people want and desire.
- Hamberger: Yes, that could be frustrating.
- Jane Mallory: Yes, well, I'm sure you've known your share of beautiful women, Mr. Hamberger. Were they happy?
- Hamberger: Usually not. I did my best to cheer them up.
- Hamberger: No place safer than the ladies room.
- Jane Mallory: Well, it's a helluva lot safer than hanging out with you, Mr. Hamberger.
- Hamberger: That's the name I want. I just needed verification. I'd hate to kill anybody without verification.
- Detective Paul Lefferts: Ah, Jesus Christmas, what? Another murder? You know, I put my ass on the line. You're supposed to find a killer! Not cause more murders.
- Jane Mallory: Are you one of those guys who likes to beat up on homosexuals?
- Hamberger: I tried that once. He was the ex-middleweight champion of the U.S. Marine Corps. I left in five rounds.
- Jane Mallory: Well, I can see that you would be attractive to all sexes.
- Hamberger: Whatever face you wear, you're beautiful.
- Jane Mallory: Well, it's gotten me out of a lot of trouble. Of course, it's gotten me into a little trouble too.
- Hamberger: I think what he did was nice. You're a nice man. You were screwing her - and she was screwing me!
- Gay in Gun Bureau: Just because you're gay doesn't mean you can't shoot straight.
- Cosmo Reporter: Pardon me, but, aren't you Reggie Jackson, the ball player?

- Cosmo Reporter: Oh, right on.
