Quotes 

• Lt. Jacoby : Pass Mr. Gunn to see Streetcar Jones. How'd he ever get a name like Streetcar?

  Peter Gunn : The way I hear it, when he plays, all you gotta do is get on and ride.

• [Gunn has just been severely beaten by two thugs] 

  Lt. Jacoby : It's getting so an honest citizen can't walk the streets anymore. They get away with anything?

  Peter Gunn : No, I've still got everything, only they rearranged it a little bit.

  Lt. Jacoby : Looks like a nice, professional job.

  Peter Gunn : Thanks.

  Lt. Jacoby : Did you know them?

  Peter Gunn : No, but I'll catch up.

  Lt. Jacoby : How about a description anyway, just for the sheer joy of it?

  Peter Gunn : Tall, dark hats, nasty dispostions.

  Lt. Jacoby : That makes it easy.

• Peter Gunn : I'd like to see him.

  Lt. Jacoby : Sure, why not? You'll make Number Two for today.

  Peter Gunn : Who was Number One?

  Lt. Jacoby : His attorney, Gerald Norris. Somebody must be spreading a lot of juice around. A lawyer like Norris doesn't come a dollar a pound.

• [after Gunn looks up an address in the phonebook, Jacobi scans the same page] 

  Edie Hart : Anybody I know?

  Lt. Jacoby : There's Nordstrom, Norrick...

  Edie Hart : ...Norris...

  Lt. Jacoby : There's a whole page of Norrises.

  Edie Hart : There's only one Sally.
