- Johnny Midnight: [Storm is raging, rain beating against window] Good night to have a roof over your head.
- Aki: They're calling this one Hurricane Emily.
- Johnny Midnight: You notice whenever they want a name for something violent they call it by a woman's name?
- Aki: Proves women are always the troublemakers.
- Johnny Midnight: Ah, but such beautiful trouble.
- Johnny Midnight: [Walking into a bustling crime scene with police everywhere] Well, you got it all solved, Dan?
- Lt. Dan Harmon: Sure. I just fool around like this to make it look tough.
- Johnny Midnight: I'll believe you, Paula, if you tell me the truth.
- Paula: Cut it out, Johnny. You had me in the electric chair the minute you saw Earl's body on the floor.
- Johnny Midnight: Do I strike you as the kind of man who makes up his mind before the facts are in?
- Aki: Well, let me put it this way, Mr. Midnight. They say to err is human, and you are human. Oh, here's something else to remember. They say to a blindfolded man coconut tree and pineapple tree feel the same. Only way to tell difference is to open eyes.
- Johnny Midnight: What's that, an old Japanese proverb?
- Aki: No, I just made it up. But it's legit!
- Johnny Midnight: Huh. It is, Aki. It's very legit. Thank you.
