The Glass Key
1942
Rusty: My first wife was the second cook at a third-rate joint on 4th Street.
Paul Madvig: I just met the swellest dame... She smacked me in the kisser.
Paul Madvig: I'm going to society. He's practically given me the key to his house. Ed Beaumont: Yeah, a glass key. Be sure it doesn't break in your hand.
Nick Varna: I'm too big to take the boot from you now. Paul Madvig: You may be too big to take it laying down, Nick, but you're gonna take it. You are taking it.
(On the phone to the police chief) Paul Madvig: Look, Rainey, I just got the tip that Nick is opening his Golden Club, tonight. Yeah, slam them down so hard they'll splash. (Hangs up) Paul Madvig: Well, Nick, now you know where you stand.
(To Janet Henry) Ed Beaumont: I get along very well with Paul because he's on the dead up-and-up. Why don't *you* try it sometime?
Paul Madvig: If you figure on getting married with *my* rock, you're nuts.
