- Sam McCloud: [having just received a stack of paperwork] When do you think I should have this one solved?

- Sam McCloud: [smiles] Ah, you're just too good to me Chief, just too good.
- Peter J. Clifford: I know. Sometimes I just can't help myself.
- Sam McCloud: Well, I suppose you looked into him anyway...
- Ira Mastin: Of course I looked in. If I looked any closer, I would've needed a medical clearance.

- Sam McCloud: I leave them alone and they leave me alone, you know what I mean
- Robert Devlin: He says he's gonna call the police.
- Sam McCloud: Well, if he does, I'm swingin' an empty loop.

- Ralph Touhy: Look here, Marshall, are you investigating me? Is that what's behind all of this rambling of yours?
- Sam McCloud: Well I'm sorry Mr. Touhy if I got off on the wrong foot. You see, well like Mr Devlin's hobby is painting, and yours is sailing, well, my hobby is fishing.
