The Asphalt Jungle (1950)

Barry Kelley: Lt. Ditrich

Quotes 

• Police Commissioner Hardy : He left prison yesterday at 12 noon, took a train for this city, time of arrival, 3:17. All you had to do was stay with him for 24 hours. If he didn't register, lock him up. What happens? He loses you five blocks from the depot, and a dangerous criminal is at large in this city.

  Lt. Ditrich : Two men on that detail ought to get medals for dumbness.

  Police Commissioner Hardy : They were assigned by you. You should get one too.

• Cobby : I'll tell them about the juice you've been getting.

  Lt. Ditrich : The only thing you're doing is making me sore.

  Cobby : Once I start singing, I won't stop. They'll jug you right alongside of me.

• Lt. Ditrich : Somebody saw him here. I don't know who. Maybe you got a fink around.
