• Sgt. Al Reardon : [while being questioned in Art's office]  Well, I don't understand any of this. It's... It's like some kind of nightmare!

  Joe Mannix : Why don't you let me get you a lawyer?

  Sgt. Al Reardon : I don't need a lawyer, Joe. I need a friend that will believe my story. That's why I called you.

  Joe Mannix : Yeah, now, you, uh, say you were at home all night alone?

  Sgt. Al Reardon : Yeah, I... I am mostly since... since Mary left me.

  Joe Mannix : Did you know this loan shark? What was his name?

  Lt. Art Malcolm : Briscoe. Nick Briscoe.

  Joe Mannix : Did you know him?

  Sgt. Al Reardon : Of course I knew him. I busted him last year. I had two witnesses willing to swear he was charging them ten percent interest per week.

  Joe Mannix : Did you get a conviction?

  Sgt. Al Reardon : The witnesses backed off. Briscoe got to 'em.

  Joe Mannix : Al, uh... how do you explain the damage to your car?

  Sgt. Al Reardon : I can't explain it, Joe! I can't explain any of this! I just know I didn't do it!
