- Lt. Duke Halliday: [running out of bullets] It'll be getting dark soon. I hate the thought of spending the night with an empty revolver.
- Joan Graham: There's always me.
- Lt. Duke Halliday: Tonight you gotta pick?
- Lt. Duke Halliday: [to Joan] I'm the kind of guy who doesn't like to turn around, Chiquita. Besides, that there's a guy behind me with a gun. Remember?
- Lt. Duke Halliday: [about the policeman] Come on! Get this guy out of my neck.
- Joan Graham: Get him off yourself, you speak Spanish.
- Lt. Ruiz: [in Spanish] Miss, do you know this man?
- Joan Graham: [in Spanish] I've never seen him before.
- Lt. Duke Halliday: What did you say to him?
- Joan Graham: I've told him that we're complete strangers.
- Lt. Duke Halliday: [in Spanish to the police officer] No, no. This is my woman... my wife.
- Joan Graham: Wait a minute!
- Lt. Ruiz: [in Spanish] Then both of you come to the Inspector General office.
- Col. Ortega: [talking to Lt. Ruiz] Once upon a time there was a little cat who had a little mouse right in his paws but he let the little mouse go that later he could follow that little mouse into a group of little "mouses"
- [correcting]
- Col. Ortega: mice!
- Lt. Duke Halliday: Where's Fiske?
- Joan Graham: Taking the parrot for a walk.
- Lt. Duke Halliday: You wouldn't be his wife, would you?
- Joan Graham: No, I wouldn't!
- Lt. Duke Halliday: Mmm-hmm!
- Joan Graham: [taking offense] I don't like the 'Mmm-hmm.' I'm not his wife!
- Lt. Duke Halliday: If you were, I wouldn't be saying 'Mmm-hmm!'
- Joan Graham: ...I gave Jim $2000. I thought it was a fortune.
- Lt. Duke Halliday: Don't tell me he clipped you?
- Joan Graham: He called it 'borrowing.'
- Lt. Duke Halliday: No security?
- Joan Graham: Unless you call a nice smile security.
- Lt. Duke Halliday: That's all you got for your money?
- Joan Graham: Certainly was.
- Lt. Duke Halliday: [sarcastically] I'll tell you what, Chiquita, you believe me, and I'll believe you.
- Joan Graham: Stop calling me chiquita. You don't say that to girls you don't even know.
- Lt. Duke Halliday: Where I learned Spanish you do.
- Joan Graham: One thing I can't figure out: you have a gun. Why didn't you use it?
- Lt. Duke Halliday: In the Army they *hang* you for shooting captains.
- Joan Graham: That's kind of a crazy notion.
- Lt. Duke Halliday: It's the country, you know. She's been watching the Mexican women.
- Col. Ortega: Our women are like all women: they listen, they smile, they agree... and then they don't.
- Julius Seton: [bringing in a box of "fence" cash] Here it is, Mr. Fiske. Good, cold American dollars.
- Jim Fiske: How many?
- Julius Seton: One hundred and fifty thousand.
- Jim Fiske: Now, wait a minute, Seton. You're making 100% profit on this deal.
- Julius Seton: It's *hot*, Mr. Fiske. Very, very hot. Much hotter than the goods I usually handle. Now, if you'd robbed a bank, or a jewelry store, like *most* of my clients, hm hm hmm, but you had to rob the U.S. Army. That outfit has a long memory when it comes to money stolen from it.
- Jim Fiske: But look at the risk I took!
- Julius Seton: Your risk has ended. Mine is just beginning. I've gotta' get rid of this...
- [points to the army payroll money, then holds up a sheaf of some of the bills he's giving to Fiske]
- Julius Seton: ...now *that* you can spend. So, wrap it up and be thankful!
