• [Stallings wants Mike to postpone his vacation to hunt for his missing stepdaughter, giving him a hefty check as an inducement] 

  Phyllis Hamilton : The nerve of some people. They can't take no for an answer.

  Michael Shayne : Well, you don't want to be too hard on Stallings, dear. You'd be desperate, too, if a member of your family were missing.

  [shows Phyllis the check] 

  Michael Shayne : Look - isn't it pretty?

• Phyllis Hamilton : Where's your suitcase, darling? Our taxi's waiting.

  Michael Shayne : Oh, ah, well, you know after you left, I got to thinking...

  Phyllis Hamilton : And you decided to postpone our vacation.

  Michael Shayne : Well, no, not exactly. Well, as a matter of fact, after you left I did a little telephoning. I got a lead. Angel, I can find that missing girl inside of 48 hours.

  Phyllis Hamilton : Fine, I'll stay and help you.

  Michael Shayne : Angel, I said I could find her in 48 hours. That's without you - with you, it's indefinite.

• Michael Shayne : Well, come right in, gentlemen. You, too, Rafferty.

• Michael Shayne : What are you here for, business or pleasure?

  Det. Sgt. Pete Rafferty : Both! It will be a pleasure to give you the business!
