Quotes 

  • Robert Cosick : [Dejected]  Life stinks and you know it. It-- It's a rat race! It's a rat race! It-- It's a rat race!

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Comforting, reassuringly]  Sure, but there's a lot in it-- There's a lot in it that's okay.

  • Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : If I can con him in closer as he reaches for the glass I can grab for him.

    Deputy Chief Moskar : He'd yank you, then both of you'd go over.

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : Not if somebody hung on to me.

    Deputy Chief Moskar : He'd yank us all. I don't mind losing you, but I don't want a whole daisy chain of cops sailing out that window.

  • Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [First lines] 

    [Hearing woman scream and looking up to hotel ledge] 

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : Geez!

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Phoning to police headquarters]  Dunnigan, Traffic "A."

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : There's a jumper on the ledge... Hotel Rodney!

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Anxiously watching jumper]  Fifteen -- Sixteen floors I think!

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : Yes, sir!

  • Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : Look, I almost had him a couple of times. I - I know I can con him in if I can just get my hands on what's bothering him.

  • Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Grabs and pulls jumper's mother into room]  Wait a minute!

    Christine Hill Cosick : Well...

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Yelling]  Who is this 'Virginia' you've been talking about? Who is she?

    Christine Hill Cosick : [Rushes to doctor]  I'm under the care of these doctors. I don't ...

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Pulling her away]  You've just been transferred, lady! You're under my care now! I want to know about this girl! Who is she? Is she his girl or something?

    Christine Hill Cosick : Oh, please let me alone! I'm his mother! Don't you think I feel anything?

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Grabs mother]  I don't think you feel anything but sorry for yourself!

    Christine Hill Cosick : Oh...

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Grab shoulder of mother]  Look! I've been out there all day now hanging on by the seat of my pants! I don't know what's wrong with your kid! I don't know why I care, but I do! I'm gonna do everything I can to get him back in. I'm sorry, but if there's any chance that he has a girl that might help get him back in I'm gonna find out about her even if I have to be a little rough on you.

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : Why did she leave him? Why?

  • Robert Cosick : [Clings to wall precariously]  You're nothin' but a stinkin' cop! You knew they were gonna do that! You were in on it!

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Vehemently]  Shut up! Who do you think you're yelling at anyway? Who do you think you are? You open your trap to me like that just once more, and I'll come over and push you off!

    [Referring to police officer] 

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : You realize he was risking his neck for you? You realize half the police force in New York is climbin' around on this hotel holding their breath to see what you're gonna do? You realize how much this city has paid for this phony 'Dutch act' of yours?

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Continuing with contempt]  "I'm gonna jump. I'm not gonna jump. Don't anybody touch me. Give me a glass of water."

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Excitedly]  Okay, kid, if you're gonna jump, go ahead! Jump!

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Calmly, with contempt]  I got a belly full of you. I don't know why I bothered with you in the first place. Go on! Jump!

    Robert Cosick : [Hesitantly, pausing]  Wait a minute.

    [Pausing, defeated] 

    Robert Cosick : I'm sorry. I appreciate what you're trying to do. I'm sorry. I-- I could never talk to anybody the way that I've been able to talk to you. I could never talk to my father the way I've talked to you. I-- I'm sorry. I'm mixed up.

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Calmly]  Don't you see your mother gave you a wrong steer about your father, kid? Don't you see he's really a-- a good Joe, and he likes you?

    Robert Cosick : [Calmly]  I guess so. I-- I don't know. I just don't know what to do.

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Directly, firmly]  He's right here. Why don't you tell him you were wrong?

    [pause] 

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : Why don't you?

    Robert Cosick : [Nodding]  Okay.

  • Harry Dunnigan : [Last lines] 

    [Runs through revolving door towards Officer Dunnigan] 

    Harry Dunnigan : Daddy! Daddy!

    Ofcr. Charlie Dunnigan : [Picks up boy]  Let's go see Mommy.
