Midge: You might have said who you were! I mean, I could have had a heart attack the way you came in. Dempsey: For a guy with bad nerves, you're in the wrong business, Midge. What do you do when you hear a siren? Pass out?
Makepeace: It's called procedure. You must have heard of it, even in the wilds of New York? What kind of police force do you think we'd have if everyone just took off and played Humphrey Bogart whenever they felt like it. Dempsey: What's eatin' you? Spikings tear one of your ears off about me, is that it? Makepeace: Not for the first time.
Dempsey: Look, we got drugs here, we got rock 'n roll here, there's only one thing missing with us. Makepeace: Oh really? What might that be? Dempsey: Sex!
Makepeace: Dempsey, Spikings is waiting with CID at Marshall's address, we liaise, remember? Dempsey: Yeah, or work around them if we don't. So you liaise and I'll work around them.
Makepeace: I understand we have a witness to the murder? Spikings: Yes, one⦠Lovejoy, would you believe. Sales rep in athletics supports, an uplifting sort of a job, eh?
Makepeace alludes to the well-known, Oscar-winning actor, Humphrey Bogart, who was known for playing characters with a strong sense of right and wrong.
