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!

Helen Layton : I'm glad you made it here so soon.
Joe Mannix : Yeah, I really enjoyed that song.
Helen Layton : Thank you.
Joe Mannix : But I must admit, I had an ulterior motive in coming.
Helen Layton : Oh?
Joe Mannix : Have you given any more thought to what happened last night?
Helen Layton : Well, I didn't get to sleep until about 4:00 this morning, thinking about it.
Joe Mannix : Helen, you said you couldn't swear that Sergeant Reardon was the man.
Helen Layton : No.
Joe Mannix : Could you swear he wasn't?
Helen Layton : I couldn't swear to that, either.
[sees a man who looks like Sergeant Reardon near the front entrance of the club]
Helen Layton : Joe, that man, he looks just like Sergeant Reardon.
[Joe chases the man outside, only to find he's disappeared, and a car almost runs him down]
