- Lionel Whitney: [unwraping a birthday gift from Tenspeed] A watch! A hot watch, just what I was hoping for.
- John Dalem: You know what this is, Turner?
- E.L. 'Tenspeed' Turner: Yes, sir, that is a piece of paper. This much I know.
- John Dalem: I can see what a ball you're gonna be. This is a list of guys on Larry's list that I've already violated. Loose Larry's list of losers I call it. You're on that list, Early Leroy Turner.
- Lionel Whitney: Terrific, terrific! You have any more terrific ideas?
- E.L. 'Tenspeed' Turner: Look, don't go climbing up my spine, hear?
- Lionel Whitney: I'm not angry.
- E.L. 'Tenspeed' Turner: All I was doing was trying to get us outta there. You try explaining to a bunch of airheaded cops what we were doing hunched over a body that wasn't even cold.
- Lionel Whitney: This is my birthday, E.L. This kind of stuff isn't supposed to happen on your birthday.
- Lionel Whitney: Pardon me, ma'am.
- Woman: Watch it, buster, this ain't no swap meet.
- Lionel Whitney: I'm terribly sorry. Where would one go to report a robbery in progess?
- Woman: Oh, this is cute. What's the punchline, somebody stole your heart?
- Lionel Whitney: No, no, no, I'm a private detective working on a case. There's currently a robbery going on in this building...
- Woman: [interrupting] Yeah, tell it to the hatcheck girl.
