John Klute : So where can I find Jane McKenna?
Frank Ligourin : Baby, would I be tellin' you all this? She copped out long ago. She committed suicide, Baxter.

Bree Daniel : Look, will you please just try to get it from my side? A year ago I was in the life full time, I was living on Park Avenue. It was a very nice apartment, leather furniture... and then the cops dropped on me, they caged me. They started asking me about a guy, some guy, that I'm supposed to have seen a year before that. Two years ago! He could be in Yemen. Gruneman... what does that mean? It's a name! I don't know him! And they start showing me these pictures, and they don't mean anything to me. And then they started asking me if I've been getting letters from some guy out in Cabbageville.
John Klute : [coldly] Tuscarora.

Bree Daniel : What's your bag, Klute? What do you like? Are you a talker? A button freak? Maybe you like to get your chest walked around with high heeled shoes. Or make 'em watch you tinkle. Or maybe you get off wearing women's clothes. Goddamned hypocrite squares!
John Klute : Okay...
Bree Daniels : I hope this doesn't make my cold any worse.
-
John Klute : I understand you use narcotics. Maybe I can have a policeman come here and look at your... arms.
Frank Ligourin : You know, I may stand better with the cops than you do, pal. Why don't you just sit down and relax, eh?

John Klute : Miss Daniels, can I ask you some questions now?
Bree Daniel : [notices Klute's surveillance gear] You bastard! Is this a shakedown, hon'? 'Cause you picked a loser, I don't have it.
John Klute : I'm looking for Tom Gr...
Bree Daniel : [interrupts him] Jesus, do you think I'd still be living in this kip if I was still in the line fulltime? I'd be back on Park Avenue.
John Klute : Can I ask you some questions?
Bree Daniel : Or you'll have me thrown back in the brig, you mean.

Bree Daniel : Tell me, Klute. Did we get you a little? Huh? Just a little bit? Us city folk? The sin, the glitter, the wickedness? Huh?
John Klute : Ah - that's so pathetic.
Bree Daniel : Fuck off!
