- Sleeper: Naturally, I know you know I know somethin'.
- Mike Conovan: I know you know I know you know somethin'.
- Mike Conovan: Hiya, Glory. Put away the can opener, gorgeous, I won't be home for dinner. I'm going out to make time with a girl.
- Gloria Conovan: Oh.
- Mike Conovan: A sizzler. She's got a figure like champagne.
- Gloria Conovan: Well, be careful of her bubbles.
- Pontiac: I'm no Humpty Bogart. He gets slugged and he's ready for action. I get slugged and I'm ready for pickling.
- Lili: What'll they throw at me?
- Mike Conovan: The book.
- Lili: The book! There's a crime on every page to fit me.
- Mike Conovan: [to Lili, who had used her charm and good looks to dupe him] You know, when a girl has the looks that you have, it's hard to really see her. But that's no excuse for the mistake I made about ya'. No excuse... just an explanation.
- Herkimer: Tell me, C.C. - why in this day and age would a smart young man decide to become a flatfoot?
- C.C.: Well, when I was 10 years old I fell in love with my 4th grade teacher, and *she* married a cop. And I figured if it was good enough for her, it'd be good enough for me.
- Herkimer: Amo, amas, amat.
- C.C.: *Yeah*. You know, I've read a lot of your stuff in the Journal.
- Herkimer: Yeah?
- C.C.: You'd've made a good cop.
- Herkimer: *Thanks*.
- C.C.: Except you're flat at the wrong end.
- [C.C. pats him on the arm]
- Fred Piper: Hah!
- Herkimer: Hah!
- [he exits]
- Ed Monigan, Jr.: Mike... about that bribe - - you know Pop didn't take it.
- Mike Conovan: No...
- Ed Monigan, Jr.: That "*No*" had a lot of "Yes" to it.
- Mike Conovan: That's a pretty sharp remark, Ed.
- Ed Monigan, Jr.: Thanks, it's yours. Use it sometime.
- C.C.: You heard about our lieutenant?
- [Piper nods]
- C.C.: He was wrong, Piper.
- Fred Piper: Maybe he was wrong... maybe right... maybe both. It takes a human being to be right and wrong at the same time. And remember this: to be a good cop you've *got* to be a human being.
- C.C.: Yeah? I never read that in the code.
