Down Three Dark Streets

Police Lieutenant Jake Kuppol:
We're all finished with you, Mr. Werker.

Mr, Werker:
I thought I'd wait around for the reporters and photographers. They may want to take my picture.

Police Lieutenant Jake Kuppol:
The Chronicle's down the street two blocks.

Mr, Werker:
That was an awful shock you know, finding that body. I am not a well man. I fell off a roof once and all my insides got shoved up two inches. My stomach's up against my liver. My liver's up against my gall bladder. And my gall bladder's between my stomach and my lungs. Besides which I gotta bad heart. You'd think they'd want to take my picture. After all, a sick man like me finding that girl, huh?

Kate Martell:
This isn't like me to go to pieces like this. It's not knowing when he's going to call again. Every time the phone rings I jump.

FBI Agent John 'Rip' Ripley:
That's the pattern of extortionists, Mrs. Martell. To frighten you to the point you'll do whatever he wants. But we won't let 'em.

Connie Anderson:
I suppose this is about Joe Walpo.

FBI Agent John 'Rip' Ripley:
That's right.

Connie Anderson:
So why don't you ask the bloodhound who was here yesterday?

FBI Agent John 'Rip' Ripley:
He was killed last night.

Connie Anderson:
That's tough.

Connie Anderson:
[Sexily to the detectives] Do you mind if I put something on? I don't like men staring at me before lunch.

Police Lieutenant Jake Kuppol:
[Angrily] A great place to lose her... in the girdle department. You didn't stop to try one on did you? You could use one.

Police Detective Grant:
[Sheepishly] Look, Jake. I lost her in a dressing room. Suddenly she gets smart.

Police Lieutenant Jake Kuppol:
I'll talk to you later.

Police Detective Grant:
Yes, sir.

Connie Anderson:
Aren't you glad to see me?

Joe Walpo aka Joe Allen:
I'll let you know.

FBI Agent John 'Rip' Ripley:
His weights about 195 lbs. Stands 6'2". Got a scar on his right cheek and a cauliflower left ear.

Man Questioned About Matty Pavelich:
Yeah, I know the guy. He used to fight for me a couple of years ago. Wouldn't train, so I dropped him.

FBI Agent John 'Rip' Ripley:
What's his name?

Man Questioned About Matty Pavelich:
You offering a reward?

FBI Agent John 'Rip' Ripley:
Nah.

Man Questioned About Matty Pavelich:
Too bad. Nothing like a reward to encourage good citizenship.

FBI Agent John 'Rip' Ripley:
Thanks for the lesson in good civics. What's his name?

FBI Agent John 'Rip' Ripley:
Sometimes you meet some nice people in this business.
