Walter Brown:
Sister, I've known some pretty hard cases in my time; you make 'em all look like putty. You're not talking about a sack of gumdrops that's gonna be smashed - you're talking about a dame's life! You may think it's a funny idea for a woman with a kid to stop a bullet for you, only I'm not laughing!

Mrs. Neall:
Where do you get off, being so superior? Why shouldn't I take advantage of her - I want to live! If you had to step on someone to get something you wanted real bad, would you think twice about it?

Walter Brown:
Shut up!

Mrs. Neall:
In a pig's eye you would! You're no different from me.

Walter Brown:
Shut up!

Mrs. Neall:
Not till I tell you something, you cheap badge-pusher! When we started on this safari, you made it plenty clear I was just a job, and no joy in it, remember?

Walter Brown:
Yeah, and it still goes, double!

Mrs. Neall:
Okay, keep it that way. I don't care whether you dreamed up this gag or not; you're going right along with it, so don't go soft on me. And once you handed out a line about poor Forbes getting killed, 'cause it was his duty. Well, it's your duty too! Even if this dame gets murdered.

Walter Brown:
You make me sick to my stomach.

Mrs. Neall:
Well, use your own sink. And let me know when the target practice starts!
