- Buckley: Oh! Stealing through my body! Creeping though my veins! Pouring in my blood! Oh, DARTS OF FIRE IN MY BRAIN! STABBING ME! I CAN'T STAND IT! I WON'T!
- Detective: What's with all the cats? What's the trouble? Rats?
- Cat Man: Aw, thousands! Right here in my back yard.
- Detective: Thousands!
- Cat Man: Yeah, got a thousand cats too. Wanna see'em?
- Unnamed reporter: A rat eating a cat? Why, that is news! By the way, did you hear a shot last night?
- Dr. Meirschultz: [opening line] Tonight, my dear Maxwell, I'm ready to try my experiment on a human!
- Blonde: Hay, Mazie! We know you're hard boiled. You don't have to stay in the water thirty minutes to prove it.
- Mazie: Oh, lemme alone. I may not be decent, but I'm sure gonna be clean!
- Maxwell: It was in Miersholtz' eyes when he wanted to murder me. It was in Mrs. Buckley's eyes when she wanted to murder her husband. Alice had the gleam in her eye when she wanted to find me. She'd murder me! I must get rid of her. How? Mrs. Buckley! She will help. She must help!
- Mrs. Buckley: I think we speak the same language. I am right?
- Maxwell: I don't get what you mean. Same language?
