Quotes 

• Stewart's anonymous contact : [speaking on the telephone]  Is everything all right, Mr. Stewart?

  Ken Stewart : Couldn't be better. Who I am speaking to please?

  Stewart's anonymous contact : Curious, aren't you?

  Ken Stewart : I admit I'm curious, yes.

  Stewart's anonymous contact : Come to the fishing doc at nine.

  Ken Stewart : I didn't say I was foolish, just curious.

• Signora Cervantes : What can I offer you? An iced tea? Whiskey?

  Ken Stewart : Let's compromise - iced whiskey.

• Gil : Okay, get out nice and slow and don't try anything. Now turn around and let me look at you. I wanna see the expression on your face when I start pumping bullets into you.

  Ken Stewart : Say, that's a pretty good speech. Where'd you get it from - an old Cagney picture?

• Ken Stewart : Does Larry Peacock know Elmer Hayes?

  Gloria : No, I don't believe he did. Elmer Hayes never talks to anyone... but can't we talk about something more pleasant?

  Ken Stewart : Like what?

  Gloria : Don't you have any ideas?

  Ken Stewart : What about?

  Gloria : Well... this.

  [Ken and Gloria kiss passionately] 

  Ken Stewart : Very interesting topic.

• Ken Stewart : How come you keep rescuing me?

  Captain Mike Jefferson : Because you keep getting in trouble.

• Gloria : Ken! Here, in the pool. Aren't you going to say hello? Are you always rude to ladies?

  Ken Stewart : That all depends on the lady.

  Gloria : What are you trying to say?

  Ken Stewart : That there are real ladies and others who will do everything and anything but just can't make it.

• Elmer Hayes : Well, Mr. Stewart, here we are safe at last... or are we?

  Ken Stewart : What do you mean?

  [one of Hayes's men slugs Stewart with a blackjack] 

• Ken Stewart : Goodbye. Take care of your collection.

  [Stewart gets in a taxi and heads to the airport] 

  Signora Cervantes : How I would like to add you to it.

• [last lines] 

  Ken Stewart : What an impossible life. Either the gangsters are after your hide or the women are. With you at least I feel safe. I know that you...

  Jane Peacock : Aw, Ken, don't you realize I've been crazy about you from the first moment I saw you?

  [they kiss] 

• Jane Peacock : [speaking on the phone]  Ken, listen. I just found something very interesting. It's a copy of a letter Larry wrote.

  Ken Stewart : A report?

  Jane Peacock : No, it's an ordinary letter.

  Ken Stewart : Read it.

  Jane Peacock : It's much too complicated.

  Ken Stewart : Don't explain it; just read it.

  Jane Peacock : Can't you come over here, Ken?

  [in a mirror, Jane spots a thug sneaking up behind her] 

  Jane Peacock : I-I'm afraid I've lost Aunt Clara's address. I was sure I had it, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

  Ken Stewart : Kay, what's wrong? Are you in trouble?

  Jane Peacock : [stealthily slides Larry's letter under her desk blotter]  Yes. I've even looked under the blotter on the desk for it, but I'm afraid I lost it. Oh, Ken come over before...!

  [the thug clamps a chloroformed soaked rag over Jane's mouth and drags her away] 

  Jane Peacock : Mmmph!

  Ken Stewart : Jane!
