Carella (to Thompson): Now I believe you. The jury will too.

Havilland (to Thompson): You always turn green when you hear good news?

Havilland: Quit lookin' at me, you vultures. I don't know what you're talkin' about but flattery isn't going to buy you a bit of my time.

Carella: Meyer, will you take Mrs. Holt to see her son? Meyer: The next tour leaves in ten minutes.

Thompson (to Carella): I don't have the guts to take my own life so the state will have to do it for me.

Meyer (about the newspaper article): At least they spelled your name right, Steve.

Kling: That's kind of a touchy thing to bring up about a man's fiancee. Carella: Murder is a touchy business.

Carella: Joey, I asked your mother a question and I wanna hear her answer.
