  Glimpy : What are you worried about? You got no friends there anyway.

• Capt. Bronson : Danny, you have not only displayed bravery in making possible the apprehension of Dutch Brocalli but a spirit of fine citizenship. Certainly you acted without knowledge or desire for monetary rewards. You are to be commended.

  Scruno : Hey, what's this "monetary" jive?

  Muggs McGinnis : I don't know. I think it's a place where they keep dead people.

  Glimpy : Surprise party.

  Scruno : Yeah, we thought he'd be kind of lonesome.

  Warden : All right, what's his name?

  Stash : His name? He knows his name.

  Warden : Hank? Hank who? Hank Jacobson? Hank Murphy? Hank Greenberg?

  Glimpy : I know Hank Greenberg!

  Warden : Oh, you do?

  Muggs McGinnis : How do we know? It might be Hank Kerchief. All we know is that he's the kid who didn't do it.
