White Heat
1949
Cody Jarrett: (knocks on car trunk) How ya doin' in there, Parker? Roy Parker: It's stuffy, I need some air. Cody Jarrett: Oh, stuffy, huh? I'll give ya a litte air (pulls a gun from his pants, pulls the hammer back and shoots into trunk)
Cody Jarrett: A copper, a copper, how do you like that boys? A copper and his name is Fallon. And we went for it, I went for it. Treated him like a kid brother. And I was gonna split fifty-fifty with a copper!
Cody Jarrett: Made it, Ma! Top of the world!
(Commenting on Cody's paranoia) Verna Jarrett: Always "somebody tipped them off." Never "the cops are smart."
Cody Jarrett: You know something, Verna, if I turn my back for long enough for Big Ed to put a hole in it, there'd be a hole in it.
Verna Jarrett: I'd look good in a mink coat, honey. Cody Jarrett: You'd look good in a shower curtain.
Hank Fallon: You put it on a pole, wind a spool of silk thread around it, and you hold the pole over the water. Then you sit under a nice shady tree and relax. After a while, a hungry fish comes along, takes a nip at your hook, and you've got dinner. For the next two weeks, I'm not gonna think about anything except the eternal struggle between man and the fish...
Engineer: What's this, a hold-up? Cody Jarrett: Naw, naw, you're seven minutes late. We're just changin' engineers.
(the sound of shooting is heard) Zuckie Hommell: Sounds bad, Cody. Cody Jarrett: Why don't you give 'em my address too...
(Pardo has just saved Cody's life) Vic Pardo: I saw that just in time. Cody Jarrett: Whaddya want - a medal?
Roy Parker: You wouldn't kill me in cold blood, would ya? Cody Jarrett: No, I'll let ya warm up a little.
Cody Jarrett: If that battery's dead, it will have company! Reader: That's a phone call that will cost more than a nickel! Cody Jarrett: Next time bring the gun.
