Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) Poster

Cliff Clark: Martin

Quotes 

  • Michael : But what if she's right? He didn't do it and they give him the chair?

    Martin : Suppose they do? What difference does it make? There's too many people in the world anyway.

    Michael : What's the use of talking to you? You think everything's a joke.

    Martin : My son, it is. If it weren't, life wouldn't be worth living.

  • Michael : [referring to Meng]  Did you ever want to kill a man?

    Martin : My son, there's murder in every *intelligent* man's heart.

    Michael : He's no man. He's a worm - the kind you ought to jump on with heavy boots.

    Martin : You'll have to do an awful lot of jumping. The Earth is covered with 'em.

    Michael : [while absentmindedly gesturing with his dinner knife]  It'd be a real pleasure to cut his throat.

    Martin : Say, you're not kidding. Put down that knife!

  • Martin : [referring to Joe Briggs' defense attorney]  I wouldn't let him defend me if it was for stealing an apple.

  • Martin : [noticing how Meng is eyeing the legs of a pretty young woman]  Who is that citizen?

    Michael : It's my next door neighbor.

    Martin : He looks as though his mind could stand a little laundering.

  • Martin : [to the bartender]  Mein host, two more of the same.
