- Peter Gunn: Been nice talking to you.
- Babe Santano: It won't be, if we have to talk again
- [holds a switchblade with the knife out in one hand, tapping the knife against the fingers of his other hand so it's pointing toward Gunn]
- Babe Santano: .
- Peter Gunn: [glances at the switchblade, then looks at Santano eye-to-eye without flinching] I'll remember that.
- Babe Santano: See that you do. Take care of yourself.
- [smiles behind Gunn's back as Gunn walks away]
- Peter Gunn: You're gonna be all right.
- Lynn Martel: I don't want to be all right.
- Peter Gunn: Come on now; come on. You're gonna be fine
- Lynn Martel: Oh, let me go; it's no good.
- Peter Gunn: Look, what are you trying to prove?
- Lynn Martel: There's nothing to prove. There's nothing left to prove.
- Peter Gunn: Lynn, look. You can cry all you want for yourself, but if anyone else does, they won't cry very long or very hard.
- Lynn Martel: Nobody's gonna cry for me, and I'm tired of crying by myself.
- Nat Krueger: Santano's been telling me about you, Mr. Gunn
- Peter Gunn: I've heard a few things about you, Mr. Krueger.
- Nat Krueger: What have you heard?
- Peter Gunn: Nothing good.
- Nat Krueger: Have you heard about my patience? It's a failing, I lose it quickly.
