- Joan Ross: When I started this crazy tour the last thing I was looking for was a man. Why I should pick on you, I don't know. After I know you better I may not like you. But I kept thinking about you and started looking for you. I phoned all over and Tony Bennis from the Paris embassy found out for me that you has come here. Michael, it's was exactly 11:45 a few days ago when you left me. What time is it now? Check both watches.
- Mike Kells: Well, it's exactly 11:37.
- Joan Ross: Do we resume? Heaven bless 11:37. I don't.
- Mike Kells: , I'd like nothing better in the world, but right now I'm sort of... I... I... I'm... tied...
- Joan Ross: All right, I'm gonna lay my cards on the table. Michael, tell me the truth. Are you with someone?
- Mike Kells: [showing a photo of a woman] No. No, I'm chasing her. My dream girl.
- Joan Ross: Can't be helped. Can't be helped, can it? I apologize to you Michael. I'm truly sorry.
- Mike Kells: No, no, no. I'm only kidding about her. I'm only doing this for an acquaintance of a friend of mine. I promised to look her up and see about her.
- Joan Ross: Do you have to see about her tonight?
- Mike Kells: It doesn't look as though I can tonight.
- Joan Ross: [leaning in] Darling! Let's explore Triste together!
- Joan Ross: I'm with those people over there. They're much duller than you are. But they got far better manners so I have to lie like the dickens. Especially that one guy! He's the captain. He thinks he is a mate of mine. You know the kind. So I have to be nice to him. Darling, can you wait two minutes?
- Mike Kells: Yup.
- Joan Ross: Well... I hardly can. I'm going to, darling.
- [Joan leans in and passionately kisses Mike. Her cleavage shows]
- Joan Ross: [scene changes to a waiter looking through some curtains at Joan and Mike. He has an astonished expression, and as he brushes his hair back with his hand his toupee falls back]
- Mike Kells: [to Janine] Well, he left in a hurry. It turned out he had an appointment to get killed. That's right, his timing was a little off. You'll be sorry to hear the car got him and not me.
- Mike Kells: [to Janine about Sam's watch] Where did they get this? Did they take it off Sam's body? Was it part of your pay?
- Col. Mark Cagle: [about Janine] She's an appealing dish no doubt. Most bad women are. One way or another, that's why they can be so successfully bad.
- Col. Mark Cagle: [about bugging Janine's apartment] I want to hear every word she says. I want to hear it when she reads.
- Mike Kells: [about Joan] No. If I'm in this, it's my own business. But she's a woman. It's lucky for her she's sore at me. I stood her up last night.
- Col. Mark Cagle: A thing like that just wets her appetite. She'll meet you at one o'clock at the Nationale.
- Mike Kells: Don't you stop at nothing?
- Col. Mark Cagle: She's an American isn't she? Let her do something for her country.
- Joan Ross: You started by arousing the mother instinct in me, and now you got the whole works worked up. And you got something stirred up.
- Sgt. Ernie Guelvada: [about Mike seeing Joan] That puts it right in the line of duty. Unnh! Some duty!
- Mike Kells: [to Janine] Oh no, no, no! I've been to your apartment. I don't like what happens there. Like getting slugged.
- Sgt. Ernie Guelvada: You're out of your mind going up there! You got a gun?
- Mike Kells: Ya.
- Sgt. Ernie Guelvada: A flashlight?
- Mike Kells: No.
- Sgt. Ernie Guelvada: [upon seeing Joan] The widow lady! Live and learn.
- Joan Ross: If it isn't the cavalry.
- Joan Ross: [to Mike] Well, the next time you're near Richmond, Indiana there's a little drug store there. It's practically the whole town. Well, drop in and tell them that the last time you saw me... the little girl is doing great. Just great.
- Rasumny Platov: [to Mike] So... as long you understand that if you do make it necessary, I will violate protocol with personal satisfaction.
- [after escaping from a train and tumbling down a steep hillside, Mike and Janine come to rest next to each other]
- Mike Kells: You know something? This is the first time I really looked at you. Really looked at you, just as a girl.
- [last lines]
- Janine Betki: And so it is.
