Play it by the book from now on.
Does Chalmers run the case, or do I?
All I'm interested in is results. Do whatever you think is best. I'll try to back you up.

Bullitt quotes
Page 1 of 2Albert Edward Rennick, used car salesman, Chicago.
Who's Rennick?
He was the man who was shot at the Hotel Daniels. You sent us to guard the wrong man, Mr. Chalmers.
He let the killers in himself? Why would he do a thing like that?
I'm waiting to ask him.
What about the setup? What do you make of that?
Shotgun and a backup man, professionals.
I got the report back from the lab, nothing at the hotel. How come they got in?
Ross got to the door, unhooked the chain, from the inside.
He let the killers in himself? Well ah, why would he do a thing like that?
I'm waiting to ask him.
What about the setup? What do you think about that?
Shotgun and a backup man. Professionals.
Yep.
Cathy What will happen to us, in time?
Time starts now.
Cathy Your world is so far from the one I know. What will happen to us in time?
Time starts now.
Come on, now. Don't be naive, Lieutenant. We both know how careers are made. Integrity is something you sell the public.
You sell whatever you want, but don't sell it here tonight.
Frank, we must all compromise.
Bullshit. Get the hell out of here, now."
Now what went wrong lieutenant?
Who else knew where he was?
Who else knew where he was?
What are you implying?
Well, they knew where to look for him and used your name to get in.
Are you suggesting I disclosed his whereabouts?
Somebody did. And it didn't come from us.
That's hardly the issue.
Well, it certainly is. I, I've got an officer with a family. And he's shot up pretty bad.
Em'em, and I've got a witness that can't talk.
I want to know about Ross. What is the deal you had with him?
Deal? Lieutenant don't try to evade the responsibility. In your "parlance", you blew it. You knew the significance of his testimony, yet you failed to take adequate measures to protect him. So to you it was a job, no more. Were it more, and you'd the dedication I was led to believe.
You believe what you want. You work your side of the street, and I'll work mine.
Lieutenant I shall personally officiate at your public crucifixion, if Ross doesn’t recover during the course of the hearings so I can at least present his deposition. And I assure you I shall not suffer the consequence of your incompetence. And even if there wasn’t any, I’m rather certain I can prove negligence on your part.
Pete Ross This is Pete. We lost him.
Telephone voice
He's your brother, Ross. If you can't find him, we have people who can. And YOU'RE paying for the contract.
Desk Clerk [after much patient pressure, the desk clerk has finally offered up some details]
Am I helping you, sir?
Delgetti I never had it so good.
Delgetti [Bullitt and Delgetti have searched the luggage of Dorothy Simmons and her boyfriend]
No passports, no tickets.
Call Immigration in Chicago, have them wire Rennick's passport application, I'll get a fingerprint check on Ross.
[to Chalmers]
You believe what you want. Look, you work your side of the street, and I'll work mine.
I do not choose to have people accuse me of false promises for the sake of cheap sensationalism, or to be compromised by your lieutenant.
Look, Chalmers, let's understand each other... I don't like you.
