Edmond O'Brien: Johnny Midnight

Quotes 

• Lieutenant : Okay, Midnight, let's save each other a lot of grief, huh? Where is he?

  Johnny Midnight : Look, Lieutenant, I haven't seen Olivera in a week. Now maybe if you tell me what this is all about...

  Lieutenant : I'll tell you what it's about. It's about murder, Midnight.

• Johnny Midnight : You don't really think Olivera did this.

  Lieutenant : I've stopped thinking on this case. From now on it's the D.A.'s baby. My job is to deliver the facts... and Olivera.

  Johnny Midnight : Lieutenant, how long have you been bucking for captain?

  Lieutenant : Oh, c'mon, Midnight! I'm just a cop tryin' to do a job.

  Johnny Midnight : Then why aren't you out trying to find Hernandez and the rest of the gang instead of manhunting an innocent patsy? This whole thing stinks of a frame to me.

• Lieutenant : Don't you go getting cute on me or I'll slap an accessory rap on you so fast it'll make your head swim.

  Johnny Midnight : Lieutenant, at the risk of sounding corny, Olivera's my friend. And he's my friend before he's a cop.

• Sgt. Sam Olivera : Get out of here, Johnny. This is not your rumble.

  Johnny Midnight : I can't. Now that I've found you I'm an accessory. I might as well earn my rap. C'mon, muchacho, let's not waste time, huh? Fill me in.

  Sgt. Sam Olivera : You've always got an angle on everything, huh?
