- Det. Insp. Jack Regan: Haskins is doing for the Sweeney what the Boston Strangler did for door-to-door salesmen!
- [to Carter]
- Det. Sgt. Kent: Jack Regan lives again. Ratman and Bobin - you are getting just like him...
- Det. Chief Insp. Frank Haskins: You were involved in a robbery.
- Det. Insp. Jack Regan: How else am I expected to get close? Put a small ad in Villains News?
- Det. Insp. Jack Regan: I knew a feller, once. He was so mean, when he caught crabs he wouldn't kill 'em - he thought they were money spiders.
- [talking about the provincial police]
- Det. Insp. Jack Regan: We mustn't upset the provincial boys - bunch of ballerinas!
- Fran: [referring to Carter, who broke in to the flat earlier on] What the hell was he after?
- Dennis Rawlins: Maybe he wanted to sniff your sheets.
- Fran: That's not funny.
- Harry Poole: [to Regan] I want to make one thing clear, Sonny Jim. Any problem, any trouble, any agro, and you are O-U-T. Out! And I mean permanently!
- Harry Poole: Fran tells me you're interested in makin' a bit o' money.
- Det. Insp. Jack Regan: Well, who isn't?
- Harry Poole: I mean REAL money.
- Det. Insp. Jack Regan: Is there any other sort?
- Fran: [to Regan] There was always something about you. I can't explain it. Just something not quite right. You never tried to touch me in the lorry. Not as much as put a hand on my knee.
- Det. Insp. Jack Regan: [to Haskins] Lay it on me, you always do. Monday's always "Kick Jack Regan" day.
- Det. Sgt. George Carter: [to Kent, after escaping from the flat that he broke into] You lost your voice, or something?
- Det. Sgt. Kent: What's up?
- Det. Sgt. George Carter: Didn't you see him?
- Det. Sgt. Kent: Who?
- Det. Sgt. George Carter: [to Bill, the driver] "Who", he says.
- [turns back to Kent]
- Det. Sgt. George Carter: Humphrey Bogart in a bulletproof Cadillac!
