Tommy Chan:
Hey, you know, Pop, I've got an idea about this case.

Charlie Chan:
Yes? Well?

Number three son have excellent head. Question have always been, "What it contain?"

Charlie Chan:
So many fish in fish market, even flower smell same. Much confusion.

Charlie Chan:
[after accidently bumping a passer-by] Oh, I beg your pardon.

Horace Karlos:
Sir, to meet a gentleman who apologizes for bumping you in these days is a rare thing, indeed. He is either a coward or a gentleman. I give you credit for the latter.

[they both bow]

Tommy Chan:
When it comes to detective work, I know my P's and Q's.

Charlie Chan:
But are you familiar with rest of alphabet?

Cooper:
Yeah, I remember.

Charlie Chan:
Very great pleasure to arrest you again, Mr. Cooper.

Mrs. Marsh:

Ben Carter:
The last time I saw you, you was living over...

Birmingham Brown, Chauffeur:
Oh, I moved from there.

Ben Carter:
Yeah?

Birmingham Brown, Chauffeur:
Sure. I moved over to, uh...

Ben Carter:
How can you live in that neighborhood?

Birmingham Brown, Chauffeur:
I don't know.

Ben Carter:
Now where I'm living, I only pay...

Birmingham Brown, Chauffeur:
It ain't THAT cheep, is it?

Ben Carter:
Sure it is.

Birmingham Brown, Chauffeur:
Hey, looky here.

Ben Carter:
No, I divorced her.
