Marina Conway : [Getting away from his love grip] You smell like a gutter.
Ward 'Paco' Conway : I just came from one.

Ward 'Paco' Conway : And you love it.

Marina Conway : [Clutching Jeff] No, Jeff! No. Don't go. I'm desperate! I need you. Help me. Help me!
Jeff Dawson : [Releases her] I'm sorry for you, but I can't help you.
Marina Conway : You mean you won't. You don't want to. Why?
Jeff Dawson : I mean this time I'm helping myself.
Marina Conway : That's not the reason, you know it. What is it, that girl? No, it can't be. You're not in love with her.
Jeff Dawson : Well, now that I hear you say it, I think I am.
Marina Conway : Well, you can't. I won't let you. You belong with me and you're going to stay with me.
Jeff Dawson : You're wrong. On both counts.

Jeff Dawson : [Confronting Marina] What have you done, Marina?
Marina Conway : I committed murder to get you. Murder!
Jeff Dawson : You killed Paco?
Marina Conway : I did it for you, don't you understand? I did it for you!
Jeff Dawson : [Choking her] You killed Paco. You killed him!
[He catches himself and releases her]
Jeff Dawson : Makes me sick even to look at you.
Marina Conway : You'll never get away from me. I'll never let you go. I'll say you helped me. I'll say I killed him and you helped me. I don't care if they hang me just so they hang you, too!

Sal Donnelly : [after Marina lays a wad of cash at the blackjack tail] That's a pretty big bet.
Marina Conway : I'm Marina Conway. I'd like to ask you a question, Miss...?
Sal Donnelly : Donnelly.
Marina Conway : I'd appreciate a frank answer.
Sal Donnelly : Certainly, Mrs. Conway.
Marina Conway : Is Jeff Dawson in love with you?
Sal Donnelly : I don't mind admitting I'm in love with him.
Marina Conway : That's not what I asked.
Sal Donnelly : I can't answer for him.
Marina Conway : You could if he loved you.
[Starts to leave]
Marina Conway : Thanks, you've told me what I want to know.
Sal Donnelly : Mrs. Conway. He's not in love with you. Not any more.
Marina Conway : He tell you that?
Sal Donnelly : He didn't have to.
Marina Conway : You're a liar, a cheap little liar. What can he see in you?
Sal Donnelly : I'll ask him next time.
Marina Conway : There won't be many more next times. Remember that.

Marina Conway : Why do you always fight me?
Jeff Dawson : You have a husband.
Marina Conway : You could've been my husband. Why aren't you?
Jeff Dawson : Because you're no good, Marina.
Marina Conway : I know. I wasn't always this way. With you it was different. You brought out everything decent in me. I wanted to be decent. When you walked out, you stole my chance.
