[a phone call awakens Mike in the wee hours of the morning]
Mike Hammer : Yeah?
Mr. Oland : Hammer?
Mike Hammer : Yeah, it seems likely.
Mr. Oland : This is Eugene T. Oland. Do you recognize the name?
Mike Hammer : Well, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I do.
Mr. Oland : I understand you're a pretty tough fella.
Mike Hammer : Well, wha'-what? You wanna take me on at two o'clock in the morning?
-
Mike Hammer : Listen, chum, whoever gave you the information that I was a professional goon made a bad mistake.
Mr. Oland : If I can come over and talk to you...
Mike Hammer : If I ever took anybody on, it was because I was mad at 'em, in self defense or because somebody woke me up at two o'clock in the morning. Good night!
-
Mike Hammer : Who do you want taken on?
Mr. Oland : My son.
-
Mr. Oland : Now don't misunderstand me. I don't want to hurt the boy in spite of what I'm asking. I still love him. I'm telling you this in confidence.
Mike Hammer : Oh, I won't tell that you love your son. OK?
Mr. Oland : Hammer, why do try so hard to be cute?
Mike Hammer : 'Cause it's after two o'clock in the morning and I tryin' hard not to be ugly!
-
Mr. Oland : I'll give you five hundred dollars to drive me up there. What have you got to lose?
Mike Hammer : Sleep!... But not five hundred dollars worth.
-
Mr. Oland : No one's going to call the police, doctor.
Dr. Roy : I'm sorry, Gene. I'll have to.
Mr. Oland : And give the newspapers a field day with the Oland name and reputation? You owe me more than that.
Dr. Roy : I owe you a great deal, Gene, but I'm a doctor.
Mr. Oland : A staff doctor in a charity clinic - that's what you'd be if I didn't build you a hospital.
Mike Hammer : Well, you don't hold any of my markers, Oland. I'll make that call.

Mr. Oland : [to his son] When are you going to start acting like a man?
Mrs. Oland : [to Mr. Oland] When are you going to start acting like a gentleman?
