Desperate (1947)

Raymond Burr: Walt Radak

Quotes 

• Steve Randall : All you've got is me.

  Walt Radak : [as the clock is ticking]  Right now, you're all I want.

  [He looks at it] 

• Walt Radak : [Ironically, as he waits for midnight]  Who was it said "time flies?"

• Walt Radak : [to Steve]  In fifteen minutes they're going to throw the switch on Al, and you're going with him... both of you at the same time. It's not very much to do for my own brother, but it's something. It's all I can do now, I guess. Guess Al's already had his last dinner. You might as well have yours too.

  Walt Radak : [to Reynolds]  Get the meal ready.

  Reynolds : [after looking through the refrigerator]  Nothing here but milk and bread and some tired meat.

  Walt Radak : [to Reynolds]  Make some sandwiches.

  Walt Radak : [to Steve]  I'm sorry I can't give you a choice of food, Steve, but it won't make much difference. You're not gong to live long enough to get any nourishment out of it. You only get a good meal when the state pays for it. Isn't that right, Steve?

• Walt Radak : You ran out on us.

  Steve Randall : I never was in with you.

• Walt Radak : [to Steve about the police]  I don't care what you tell them, but if Al doesn't walk out of that police station by midnight, your wife ain't gonna be so good to look at!

• Walt Radak : [to Reynolds]  You must have studied to get that stupid!
