Quotes 

• Herbie Hawkins : Well, if I was gonna kill you, I wouldn't do a dumb thing like hitting you on the head. First of all, I don't like the fingerprint angle. Of course, I could always wear gloves. Press your hands against the pipe after you were dead and make you look like a suicide. Except it don't seem hardly likely that you'd beat yourself to death with a club. I'd murder you so it didn't look like murder.

• Herbie Hawkins : He ran plunk right into the propeller of an airplane.

  Joseph Newton : Ooh boy!

  Herbie Hawkins : Cut him all to pieces. Had to identify him by his clothes. His shirts were all initialed.

• Herbie Hawkins : Where's your planning? Where's your clues?

  Joseph Newton : I don't want any clues. I want to murder you. What do I want with clues?

  Herbie Hawkins : Well, if you haven't got any clues, where's your book?

  Joseph Newton : I'm not talkin' 'bout writing books. I'm talking about killing you!
