Senator Baldwin : Who is she? A burglar you know?
Detective Sergeant Gahagan : No. She's a newspaper woman.
Det. Lt. Steve 'Mac' McBride : Well, it's practically the same thing!

Senator Baldwin : This, Lieutenant, is my Jade Room. I keep my treasures here. They're priceless. The most valuable collection in America.
Detective Sergeant Gahagan : Gee, this reminds me of a swell Chop Suey joint. I was in one in Chicago with a blonde and a honey.

Senator Baldwin : Is there something wrong?
Det. Lt. Steve 'Mac' McBride : Is there something wrong? You know we're looking for a mob of Chinese killers and here you got the whole party cluttered up with Orientals.
Senator Baldwin : Come on now, Lieutenant. I don't like your tone. I offered to call the party off, you know. The fact that you weren't informed the entertainers were to be Orientals was merely an oversight.
Det. Lt. Steve 'Mac' McBride : Yes and its oversights that get people killed.
