Nick Carter : [Reading from a sign] 'Al Taurez Seaman's Association.' Good old Al!
Bartholomew : A clue?
Nick Carter : Back in the States Al was always a clue.
Bartholomew : This Mr. Taurez seems to be a man of generous nature.
Nick Carter : Ah, yeah, Al would give his best friend a knife in the back any day.

'Gunboat' Jacklin : I don't know what you're talkin' about! Bombs? I never seen no bombs! What would I be doin' with a bomb anyway?
Nick Carter : Well, you're either a very smart liar or really as dumb as you look. I don't know which.
'Gunboat' Jacklin : [Feeling insulted] Don't call me dumb!

Nick Carter : [after Taurez introduces him to all the riffraff in his club] Say, you know I'm on a vacation. What's the idea of putting the finger on me?
Al Taurez : Oh, you're mistaken, Nick.
Nick Carter : Oh. Oh, but you're a liar, Al, and if I'm wrong...
Al Taurez : [Anticipating] ... you'll apologize, I know.
Dolores : Where do we go from here, keed?
Nick Carter : Maybe Al can answer that?
Al Taurez : Ah, look, Nick, the past is over and done with. Can't we be friends?
Nick Carter : Sure, why not? You're a man after my own heart... with a knife.

Bartholomew : [as Nick comes out the door] This note was waiting for you at the hotel.
Nick Carter : [Reading the note] 'Please meet me in my office at seven o'clock... Franklin Morris.' Wonder what Morris could want with me?
Bartholomew : Mysterious... it's several hours to seven o'clock.
Nick Carter : Oh, but so much to be done.
Bartholomew : Yes... yes.
Nick Carter : Let's see...
Bartholomew : Let's see.
Nick Carter : Where do we begin?
Bartholomew : Ah... where?
Nick Carter : I've got it!
Bartholomew : Yes, yes, of course.
Nick Carter : Ah, Al Taurez.
Bartholomew : We check.

Nick Carter : Keep you smile, Deadeye.

Nick Carter : Uh, I don't suppose you're a spy?

Nick Carter : Tell me, Al, what became of the Cleaners and Dyers Union you used to run in the old days?
