- Sergeant: I'm sorry. I lost my head, Inspector.
- Insp. Raoul Leduc: Well, find it. You'll need your head if we're going to discover who committed this murder.
- Sergeant: Well, why would anyone want to kill a decent man like Dan Percy?
- Insp. Raoul Leduc: Perhaps the murderer didn't stop to ask if he was decent.
- Insp. Raoul Leduc: If we can get Macklin off this ship, you can save your neck. I'll see to it that you get a fair trial.

- Insp. Raoul Leduc: Charming.
- Dr. Carl Macklin: Yes she is.
- Insp. Raoul Leduc: What do you know about her?
- Dr. Carl Macklin: Very little, and the little I know, I like.
- Insp. Raoul Leduc: I can't say that I blame you. Women make it a pleasure to be a man
- Fred: It's too bad our man was liquidated.
- Insp. Raoul Leduc: Well, sometimes bad news can be changed into good news.
- Joe Victor aka Steiner: My hand's out, and my palm is itching. $100,000.
- Eric Hartman: Less the advance our friend in Lisbon gave you.
- Joe Victor aka Steiner: Less nothing. Plus expenses. Come on, pay off.
- Insp. Raoul Leduc: You realize, of course, that Dr. Macklin will never consent to work for you. One thing you cannot enslave is the human mind.

- Insp. Raoul Leduc: I'll see to it that you get a fair trial.

- Eric Hartman: [Throws a newspaper article on Joe's laps that tells of Yvonne Temblay being found dead] You've seen this?
- Joe Victor aka Steiner: So What?
- Eric Hartman: Amazing how calm you are. Doesn't that raise your pulse even slightly?
- Joe Victor aka Steiner: I don't have any pulse.
- Eric Hartman: What good is it going to do us, find him, make him talk?
- Joe Victor aka Steiner: Don't get excited.
- Eric Hartman: You feel we shouldn't get excited?
- Joe Victor aka Steiner: Sure. When you get excited you get ants. And when you get ants, you get rattled.
