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:

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:

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!
