Quote context

[...]

- The first word I had that Julia Wolf was dead was when Mrs. Wynant called me at my club.

- Oh, she called you!

- Yes.

- Why?

- I beg your pardon.

- Oh, let's not even talk about it.

- The thing to do is to find Clyde. And that's why I've come for Nick. You will help me find him, won't you?

- I'm afraid I can't, Mimi.

- Oh Nick, please.

- Now, there are a thousand detectives in New York. Hire one of them.

- But he knows you. All you have to do is get in touch with him, and tell him that Mimi says everything is all right, but that I've got to see him.

- I tell you again, I don't want any part of it.

- Is that final?

- Final.

- Well, If that's the way you feel...

- He'll turn up. You just help all you can. Give the police every possible assistance.

Aw Nicky, you're grand! You're glorious! -I bet you say that to all the boys.
Bless my soul, woman! I give you three murders and you're not satisfied!
The person who killed him counted on one thing: that all skeletons look alike. -Well, don't they? -Sure.
You've got a type? -Only you darling. Lanky brunettes with wicked jaws.
Now get out that skeleton key of yours and open that door! I'm here to stay.
