Quotes 

  • District Attorney : [while he's shaving]  So now you believe both murders were committed by the same man, eh?

    Michael : Yes, I do.

    District Attorney : Um... maybe you're right. As you pointed out, there are certain similarities between the two crimes. But you missed one. Perhaps the most important. Both murders were discovered by the same man - you.

    Michael : What are you driving at?

    District Attorney : Tell me, has there ever been any insanity in your family?

    Michael : Listen, I'm as sane as you are. And if you think I had anything to do with it, *you're* crazy.

  • Michael : But what if she's right? He didn't do it and they give him the chair?

    Martin : Suppose they do? What difference does it make? There's too many people in the world anyway.

    Michael : What's the use of talking to you? You think everything's a joke.

    Martin : My son, it is. If it weren't, life wouldn't be worth living.

  • Michael : [referring to Meng]  Did you ever want to kill a man?

    Martin : My son, there's murder in every *intelligent* man's heart.

    Michael : He's no man. He's a worm - the kind you ought to jump on with heavy boots.

    Martin : You'll have to do an awful lot of jumping. The Earth is covered with 'em.

    Michael : [while absentmindedly gesturing with his dinner knife]  It'd be a real pleasure to cut his throat.

    Martin : Say, you're not kidding. Put down that knife!

  • Martin : [noticing how Meng is eyeing the legs of a pretty young woman]  Who is that citizen?

    Michael : It's my next door neighbor.

    Martin : He looks as though his mind could stand a little laundering.

  • Jane : I guess I'm just being silly.

    Michael : It's becoming.

  • Michael : Look! Look! He's alive!

    Meng : [as a hallucination]  I told you not to drink coffee before going to bed.
