Quotes
-
Eleanor Johnson : [in the dark shadows of a roller coaster on the deserted beach at night] I don't like this place.
Dan Legget : It's a good spot. I used to come here with my girl when I was a kid. It's more frightening than romantic. It's the way love is when you're young... life is when you're older.
-
Dan Legget : Where's your husband, Mrs. Johnson?
Eleanor Johnson : I don't know.
Dan Legget : Did he see the killer?
Eleanor Johnson : I don't know.
Dan Legget : Shall we dance?
Eleanor Johnson : Why don't you drop dead?
-
Eleanor Johnson : Why don't you get lost?
Dan Legget : Now then, how 'bout the story?
Eleanor Johnson : You'll get the story from my husband when he's safe and sound in jail.
-
Dan Legget : Oh, um, I've got a deal for you. You find your husband with my help, give me an exclusive for 24 hours, and I get my paper to pay you for it.
Eleanor Johnson : Trying to buy me so soon?
Dan Legget : First, I'm gonna to try to buy you. And if I can't, I'm gonna try to win you.
Eleanor Johnson : Isn't that the reverse of the usual procedure?
Dan Legget : I'm a perverse fellow. On second thought, Mrs. J., I find you very attractive. I may try and win you right off.
Eleanor Johnson : No thanks. I'd rather be bought.
Dan Legget : Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, very mercenary. All to the good, though. I like mercenary women.
-
Dan Legget : Why don't you be nice to me, Mrs. J.? Who knows? I might even be able to help you. I'm not a bad guy when you get to know me. A little obnoxious, perhaps, but pleasant.
-
Dan Legget : Why did you come here, Mrs. Johnson? Or shouldn't I ask?
Eleanor Johnson : Because I like it here.
Dan Legget : You didn't by any chance come here to meet, say, your husband, did you? Or is that a far-fetched supposition? Supposition? I'd better stop using those four-syllable words: I won't be working for 'The Graphic' anymore
