Quotes 

• Mike Hammer : You say you've been trying to get in touch with me for two days - now why? A man just called me and told me you were already my client.

  Sharon O'Closkey : A man with a quiet, educated voice?

  Mike Hammer : Well, he didn't say "ain't" but the things he promised for both of you and I were neither quiet nor educated.

• Sharon O'Closkey : Mike, you're fired! I don't need you anymore.

  Mike Hammer : Good! You don't mind if I have a talk with your boyfriend?

  Sharon O'Closkey : He is not my boyfriend!

  Frank Beulah : That's right.

  Mike Hammer : Then you won't mind if I beat him into a talkative state now, would you?

• Frank Beulah : You're going to get me killed!

  Mike Hammer : Don't try to cheer me up.

• [last lines] 

  Mike Hammer : I knew right from the beginning that anybody who could lie as fast as you could and be so pretty doing it couldn't all be all good - and that's too bad.
