- Aki: Motor jammed, dad?
- Johnny Midnight: Oh, no, just the opposite. I know now who killed Walter Partridge. But I can't prove it without a confession. What's the old expression, Aki, set a thief to catch a thief? Well, why not set a blackmailer to catch a blackmailer?
- Aki: Slow down, big man! You lost me.
- Johnny Midnight: Aki, get my makeup kit. I got a couple phone calls to make first.
- Nellie: Well, I've never heard anything so ridiculous, so... so preposterous.
- Johnny Midnight: Infamous is a better word, Miss Farr, or perhaps diabolical.
- Boris: [looking at the negative through a jeweler's eye loupe] Say, you better not be caught sending this through the mails, Johnny!

- Nellie: Am I so old, Johnny, am I? I'm only forty. Does love always belong to youth?
- Johnny Midnight: I don't know, Nellie. I guess if you're foolish enough to think so, it does.
