Darren McGavin: Mike Hammer

Quotes 

• Agnes 'Babe' Barlow : Well, dent my fenders - Mike Hammer!

  Mike Hammer : Why grind my gears, Babe, how are you?

• Mike Hammer : [narrating]  The room was full of questions, but the answers were somewhere else.

• [Babe is being interrogated by a police detective] 

  Mike Hammer : [narrating]  I let Babe do the talking. I wasn't sure why I didn't tell what I knew. Maybe it was because I knew too much and I'm the kind of a guy who likes to be sure all the lyrics have been written before he starts to sing.

• Mike Hammer : Oh, honey, he hates you so much, he'd do anything to get even.

  Agnes 'Babe' Barlow : Why should he hate me?

  Mike Hammer : Well, Babe, not bein' a man, I don't think you'd understand, but when a man loses his pride to another man, he can learn to live with it somehow - he can make excuses or justify it. But when he loses it to a woman, he's got to do something about it.

• [last lines] 

  Agnes 'Babe' Barlow : You killed him. Oh, you dirty, rotten, no good bum, you killed him! My baby...

  Mike Hammer : You had a lot of help, Babe... a lot of help.
