Quotes 

• Miss Clark : [referring to Jones]  I always told you that rabbit had something.

• Miss Clark : Now, that's my idea of a boy friend. He-man plus. If I only knew where he was!

• Miss Clark : Well, what do you think of that? Well, I guess the jig's up.

  Detective Sergeant Boyle : Sure it is. But, not for you kid, not if you wanna play ball.

  Miss Clark : Imagine that heel squealing.

• Miss Clark : Hi ya, Front Page!

• Miss Clark : You're becoming famous. Three of my girl friends asked me to get pictures of you. I told them the kind of a caveman you were. I can feel that kiss yet.

  Arthur Ferguson Jones : Oh, I-I, I want to apologize for that Miss Clark.

  Miss Clark : What for? If it takes a few swigs to bring out that personality of yours, I'll buy you a case of Scotch.

  Arthur Ferguson Jones : Oh, it wasn't the drinks. Something came over me and I just couldn't help it.

  Miss Clark : I'm glad you couldn't.

• Miss Clark : Jonesy, you sure are going places! Just think of it, an invitation to the boss' shack.

• Miss Clark : Jonesy, you need a caretaker and I think I'm elected.

• Miss Clark : Say, you can get enough out of this to take that trip to Shanghai.

• Miss Clark : By the way, Healy was in to see you. I made a deal for you. He screamed murder, at first, but finally we got together. Listen to this, two hundred and fifty bucks a week! I guess that trip to Shanghai's a cinch now, Jonesy. Here's the contract. I told him I'd get you to sign it tonight.

  Arthur Ferguson Jones : Oh, thank you.

  Miss Clark : Oh, don't mention it. Always glad to serve a Public Enemy. Ah, what do you say we go up to your room and read it over?

  Arthur Ferguson Jones : Alright. Oh, no-no, no, not upstairs.

  Miss Clark : Why not?

  Arthur Ferguson Jones : Well, the, eh, the landlady's very strict about it.

  Miss Clark : [Seductively]  P-lease, Mr. Jones. You can leave a door open.

• Healy : Who's been helping him write those stories?

  Miss Clark : What do you mean, who's been helping him?

  Healy : Where does a squirt like Jones get off writing all that juicy underworld lingo?

  Miss Clark : From me, of course.

  Healy : You certainly have horned in yourself properly, haven't you!

• Miss Clark : And now, Mr. Jones, prepare yourself for the thrill of a lifetime. Your first paycheck! As an author, I mean. The magic carpet which will carry you to Shanghai and eternal ecstasy.

• Newspaper Reporter at Dock : [Last lines]  Now, Jonesy, will you give us a - great - big - kiss - and look right into these cameras.

  Arthur Ferguson Jones : Okay.

  Miss Clark : How about it Jonesy? You need a slug of whiskey?

  Arthur Ferguson Jones : Oh, I should say not!

  [Kiss] 

  Photographers : Hoooooooold It!
