Arthur Batanides: Sgt. Sam Olivera

Quotes 

• Johnny Midnight : What's the big idea, Lupo, sending your flatfoots up to frisk my penthouse? I told you Helen Vernon wasn't there.

  Sgt. Sam Olivera : Okay, amigo, where did you take her?

  Johnny Midnight : And you can skip the "amigo" bit if this is your Latin idea of friendship.

  Sgt. Sam Olivera : Alright, Johnny, I'm a Latin who crawled out of the slums to be a cop. And when a cop deals with murder he has no friends.

  Johnny Midnight : Look, Lupo, I didn't mean...

  Sgt. Sam Olivera : Where's Helen Vernon?

• Sgt. Sam Olivera : There are ways of making you talk. I can throw you in the jug for obstructing justice.

  Johnny Midnight : Oh, sure. You can also send me to the goldfish room and massage me with a length of rubber hose, too. You wanna try that?

• Sgt. Sam Olivera : You sure you're all right, Johnny?

  Johnny Midnight : I feel like a dime's worth of dog meat, but I'm not outta my skull if that's what you mean.
