- Lieutenant Jacoby: Why didn't you wait after you called? You could have been killed.
- Peter Gunn: Well, Eric could have been killed. We wouldn't want that, would we?... Would we?

- Peter Gunn: Lesson number one: If you're going to trifle, look 'em right in the eye.
- Edie Hart: And keep your back to the wall.

- Peter Gunn: Well, maybe I can perform an operation for you, Lieutenant.
- Lieutenant Jacoby: Like what?
- Peter Gunn: Have Eric Thornwald removed from your back.
- Lieutenant Jacoby: Pete, the boys in the department will erect a statue of you in the park. They'll forfeit their pensions in order to do it.
