Quotes 

• Jimmy Caldwell : Put the irons on chief, you're wasting your time.

  Mike Roberts : College kids, aren't you?

  Jimmy Caldwell : What if we are?

  Mike Roberts : Things ran wrong when you went out of school. A lot your swell ideas went up in smoke. Nothing ahead of you but a long, steep road. So you finally decided to take a short cut, grab all the hundred thousand and only do a few years in prison.

  Ruth Holden : Without hurting anyone.

• Mike Roberts : Smoke?

  Jimmy Caldwell : Thanks, I've got my own.

  Mike Roberts : Why not smoke mine?

  Jimmy Caldwell : Why should we be under obligation to you?

  Mike Roberts : Well, you are already to the tune of a hundred thousand - a few cigarettes shouldn't bother your conscience.

• Ruth Holden : I've got an awful feeling we're rushing blindly through the darkness to an awful end.

  Jimmy Caldwell : And I've got a feeling you've turned yellow.

  Ruth Holden : Oh please don't say that Jimmy - that isn't you!

  Jimmy Caldwell : Listen, you can get off at the forest stop. I'm sick of you and your whining ways. I should have known better than to go in on a deal like this with you. Half the men in jail are there because of a woman!

  Ruth Holden : Yes, and all the women are there because of a man.
