- Diane: Someday you're going to want something nice and expensive that you can't afford on a detective's salary.
- Joe Peters: Like what?
- Diane: Like me.
- Diane: You're a nice guy, Honest Joe, but you're not in the right league. I'm aiming for the World Series.
- Diane: When you look in the mirror, what do you tell yourself you want?
- Joe Peters: You. I want you so bad I can't think straight. You're what I want for Christmas, the day after the Fourth of July, Saturday nights, all the days there are.
- Mrs. MacDonald: Take plenty of warm clothes. It's awful cold in the mountains.
- Joe Peters: Who gets cold on a honeymoon?
- Mrs. MacDonald: Oh, Mr. Peters!
- [chuckles]
- Egan: [about Joe after he beats up DeVito] I thought he was an easy-going guy.
- Harry Miller: He was - until he got married.
- Diane: Know what "everything" is?
- Joe Peters: What?
- Diane: Money.
- Joe Peters: Happiness doesn't count, huh?
- Diane: Can happiness buy money?
