Quotes

(Samuels clashes with his superiors.)
Isbecki: The papers are gonna have a field day. I can just see the headlines now.
Petrie: Which ones? "Strangler Stalks City Streets" or "Lieutenant Demoted to Directing Traffic"? (edit)
Petrie: You're right about one thing, Isbecki. Samuels did call the shot.
Isbecki: Instinct! Samuels has got it. All the really great detectives have it. I got it. (edit)
Isbecki: More on that psychological profile. (reads) Passive, unresolved anger towards mother.
Lacey: Why is it always the mother? (edit)
(Lt. Samuels needs to know about the plot against him.)
Cagney: You go talk to him. I'll tell you, he likes you a lot better than he likes me, pal.
Lacey: He does not. Where did you get an idea like that?
Cagney: He tells you he likes your instincts, he tells me he likes my scarf. (edit)
