Walter Pidgeon: Mayor Jack Parker

Quotes 

• Mayor Jack Parker : The out-of-state papers have always made California sound like a, well, like a vacation spot for the criminally insane.

• Mayor Jack Parker : Your man's getting a little insolent, Chief.

  Chief Frank Untermyer : He's not my man. That's why I like him.

  Mayor Jack Parker : Oh? Well, you get this straight. From now on don't expect any favors from me.

  Chief Frank Untermyer : I don't think you owe me any. I didn't even vote for you.

• Chief Frank Untermyer : He's a good cop, Jack. If you take him off this case, you might destroy him.

  Mayor Jack Parker : We're all good cops, Frank. It's just that some of us have learned to bend with the wind.

  Chief Frank Untermyer : Yeah, who knows. Maybe for a man that just shows a lack of spine.
