Humphrey Bogart: David Graham

Quotes 

• David Graham : Uh, pardon me, but I don't believe a word you're sayin'!

  Mary Dwight Strauber : You think I'm pretty low, don't you?

  David Graham : Now, what do you expect me to think? I meet a lot of people in this job. Some of them I feel sorry for because they - they just can't help themselves. They don't know any better. They're the misfits of the world. But you, you're not that kind. You know what's right and you know what's wrong. You know better, but you just won't do anything about it. You choose to think that you can get through the world by outsmarting it. Well, I've learned that those kind of people generally end up outsmarting themselves. And that's exactly what's going to happen to you. And I won't feel a bit sorry about it, because, lady, you've got it coming to you.

  Mary Dwight Strauber : Thanks for telling me.

• Mary Dwight Strauber : Please don't ask me to talk. He'll kill me.

  David Graham : Now you help me to prove that he was responsible for this, and I'll put him where he won't kill anybody.

  Mary Dwight Strauber : You don't know what he's like! He stops at nothing. People just disappear and are never heard of again. I don't want that to happen to me.

• David Graham : I thought they were your friends.

  Mary Dwight Strauber : So did I.

• David Graham : Mary, I'd like to help you.

  Mary Dwight Strauber : Why?

  David Graham : Why? Because I... because I think you've got a break coming to you.

  Mary Dwight Strauber : And?

  David Graham : And I'd like to see that you get it.
