• Chris Harrington : Howdy, Smitty! How's the strong right arm of the law?

  Whispering Smith : It's getting stronger by the minute... and let that be warning to you.

  Chris Harrington : As of today, the Denver police force can sit back and relax. I've become a reformed, law-abiding citizen.

  Whispering Smith : Mm-hmm. I'll keep your secret.

• Chris Harrington : You'll find this hard to believe, Smitty, but the most wonderful girl in the world has just agreed to become my wife.

  Whispering Smith : Marry you? She must be out of her mind.

  Chris Harrington : I told her the same thing, but it didn't do me a bit of good.

  Whispering Smith : That's great, Chris. Who's the unlucky girl?

• Whispering Smith : Provin' a man's innocence is as much of his job as proving his guilt, but so far you haven't given us one thing to go on - not one!

  Chris Harrington : I gave you my word I didn't do it!

  Whispering Smith : That isn't enough. You know, it's the hardest thing in the world for a man to get himself accused of a crime unless he's either involved in it or else hiding the truth. Now which is it with you?

• Whispering Smith : Boy, was I ever wrong about that Harrington kid. Here I thought we had an open and shut case.
