• Free : The only claim you got to being a detective is you got big feet and they're flat.

  Hogan : Say, for the last time I'm telling ya, whoever heard of a man going to Atlantic City with his wife?

  Free : Were you ever married?

  Hogan : I was once. Why?

  Free : Where'd you go for your honeymoon?

  Hogan : Atlantic City.

• Hogan : [He's been snoozing when Donald Free pushes his feet off his desk]  Say, what's the idea? Who are you?

  Free : You ask me, and you call yourself a detective? I'm your new partner.

• Hogan : Say, your face is familiar.

  Free : Well, it ought to be. It's been around a lot.

  Hogan : What are you doin' in my office?

• Amy Moran : How long you gonna be gone?

  Free : From now on.

  Free : Yeah.

  Amy Moran : I don't blame ya, I guess. But when you walk out of here, every bit of decency goes with ya.

  Free : Thanks, Amy.

• Amy Moran : I sure wish I could go with ya. Say, workin' around here I'm even beginnin' to look like a burglar.

  Amy Moran : For nothin'.

  Free : Well, the price is right.
