Norma : It's my fault, you know.
Harry Callahan : What?
Norma : His leaving. I thought I could take it. No class.
Harry Callahan : Don't ever say that.
Norma : What?
Harry Callahan : Just don't ever low-rate yourself.
Norma : Look, what I meant was, whatever it takes to be a cop's wife, I'm just not sure I'm making it. He really tries, and... and these bastards, you know, "pig" this, "pig" that. Oh, but maybe it's when I watch him walk out that door at night. And I think, what if it's the last time I ever see him again? Look, am I the only one? I mean, doesn't it drive your wife crazy?
Harry Callahan : No.
Norma : You mean she got used to it?
Harry Callahan : No, she never did, really.
Norma : Well, what, then?
Harry Callahan : She's dead.
Norma : Oh, please forgive me.
Harry Callahan : She was driving home late one night and a drunk crossed the center line. There's no reason for it, really.

Harry Callahan : I want you to tell Chico that I understand, you know, him quitting. I... I think he's right. This is no life for you two.
Norma : Why do you stay in it, then?
Harry Callahan : I don't know. I really don't.
