It's stuffy in here, I need some air.

Oh, stuffy, huh? I'll give ya a litte air.

pulls a gun from his pants and shoots four times into the trunk]
Cody Jarrett:
A copper, a copper, how do you like that boys? A copper and his name is Fallon. And we went for it, I went for it. Treated him like a kid brother. And I was gonna split fifty-fifty with a copper!
Cody Jarrett:
Made it, Ma! Top of the world!

last lines]
Philip Evans:
Cody Jarrett...
Hank Fallon:
He finally got to the top of the world... and it blew right up in his face.
Verna Jarrett:
It's always "somebody tipped them." Never "the cops are smart."
Cody Jarrett:
You know something, Verna, if I turn my back long enough for Big Ed to put a hole in it, there'd be a hole in it.
Verna Jarrett:
I'd look good in a mink coat, honey.
Cody Jarrett:
You'd look good in a shower curtain.
Hank Fallon:
You put it on a pole, wind a spool of silk thread around it, and you hold the pole over the water. Then you sit under a nice shady tree and relax. After a while, a hungry fish comes along, takes a nip at your hook, and you've got dinner. For the next two weeks, I'm not gonna think about anything except the eternal struggle between man and the fish...
Engineer:
What's this, a hold-up?
Cody Jarrett:
Naw, naw, you're seven minutes late. We're just changin' engineers.
[
the sound of shooting is heard]
Zuckie Hommell:
Sounds bad, Cody.
Cody Jarrett:
Why don't you give 'em my address too...
[
Pardo has just saved Cody's life]
Vic Pardo:
I saw that just in time.
Cody Jarrett:
Whaddya want - a medal?
Roy Parker:
You wouldn't kill me in cold blood, would ya?
Cody Jarrett:
No, I'll let ya warm up a little.
Cody Jarrett:
[
Fallon is hiding the tracking device under the phony fuel truck] What are you doin'? We're on our way.
Hank Fallon:
You gotta have a chain bouncin' the ground - get rid of electricity.
Cody Jarrett:
That's only when you got gasoline or chemicals sloppin' around inside.
Hank Fallon:
You wanna have some traffic cop think you got a load of somethin' else?
Cody Jarrett:
That's usin' your head, kid. All right, snap it up.

Jarrett walks off]
Ma Jarrett:
I told you, Cody hasn't been in California for months.
Philip Evans:
I suppose he shot me all the way from another state.
Ma Jarrett:
What makes you think *he* shot you? Lots of people have guns.
Philip Evans:
I was as close to him as I am to you.
Ma Jarrett:
Anybody else see him?
Philip Evans:
Just you. And his wife.
Ma Jarrett:
Of course, being an old woman, I wouldn't know much about the law, but I hear you got to have *witnesses* to make anything stand up in court.
Hank Fallon:
I've been promised a vacation. You remember?
Philip Evans:
Sorry, Hank, that's out.
Hank Fallon:
Phil, look at me. College degree, lovable personality, and I spend most of my time in prison. An undercover specialist. Eight sentences in five years. Dannemora, Sing Sing, Leavenworth. I joined the department to put criminals behind bars, and here I am stir crazy.
Jerry:
And this time I'm going right to the top to get you out. Herbert, are you listening?
Michael 'Reader' Curtin:
Sure, Jerry, sure.
Jerry:
But if that fails, you'll just have to serve the rest of your term.
Michael 'Reader' Curtin:
Jerry, you couldn't get me out of here if I was pardoned.
Cody Jarrett:
I told you to keep away from that radio. If that battery is dead it'll have company.
Hank Fallon:
What's holding him up?
Cody Jarrett:
Big Ed, Great... Big... Ed. Know why they call him that? Because his ideas are big. Someday he's gonna get a really big one, about me. It'll be his last.
