Dead Reckoning (1947 film)

"Theres something about that big lug I didnt like. Maybe its calling me friend."

"Johnny, why dont you get rid of the grief you got for that blonde, whoever she is? Every mile we go, you sweat worse with the same pain. Didnt I tell you all females are the same with their faces washed?"

"I hated every part of her but I couldnt figure her out yet. I wanted to see her the way Johnny had. I wanted to hear that song of hers with Johnnys ears. Maybe she was alright. And maybe Christmas comes in July. But I didnt believe it."

"I remember there was a whiff of jasmine just before I was knocked out. Maybe, maybe it was her. Suddenly I got a feeling I know it was. Jasmine."

"[referring to two war souvenir hand grenades] If I were you, Id turn em in to Army Ordnance. You start coughin too hard with one of them in your hand, therell be nothing left but the gold in your teeth... if it dont melt!"

"I didn’t like the feeling I had about her - the way I wanted to put my hand on her arm, the way I kept smelling that jasmine in her hair, the way I kept hearing that song shed sung. Yeah, I was walking into something, alright."

"Im the brass-knucks-in-the-teeth-to-dance-time type."

"[on the phone] Whattya mean, am I checkin up on you? Of course. I am. I forgot to tell you, I dont trust anybody - especially women!"

"He Doesnt Trust Anyone...Especially Women!"

"You know, you do awful good. I came here to - but go ahead. Put Christmas in your eyes and keep your voice low. Tell me about paradise and all the things Im missing. I havent had a good laugh since before Johnny was murdered."

"There never was a Bogart like this... and heres the reason..."

"Martinelli: You place me in an extremely distasteful position, Mr. Murdock. Brutality has always revolted me."
