00:05:17 I can't get anything. Nobody ever heard of the dame.
00:08:15 Put it all together, what do you got?
00:10:49 Over a year. Take all of her things?
00:13:46 Your girlfriend, remember?
00:17:21 She hasn't any folks. If we were sure of that we'd quit.
00:20:38 How did you get Mr. Temple's private number?
00:23:55 She was only about seventeen. My mother and I were crazy, wondering and worrying about her.
00:26:51 Remember the fan you gave me?
00:29:57 Why don't you let me get you a room here tonight?
00:34:47 Did he talk? No.
00:38:00 I can't risk telling you. Yeah, sure, but just give me an idea.
00:40:56 Afraid? Yeah, I've been worried about you.

00:52:41 She kept coming in to see it, but she never had the twelve dollars.
00:55:52 Would you mind telling us your nephew's name?
00:59:02 She has locked herself in the room. You won't be needed any more.
01:02:31 Ed! I'm sick, I'm filled up to my feet with it.
01:06:11 What's the idea? I don't talk to any reporters.
01:09:07 I'll handle him. Trust Jerry Cavanaugh.
01:13:18 I'm afraid it's the other way around.
01:16:55 That was a fine catch, an unarmed woman.
01:20:40 Nobody crosses Solly. She meant us.
