Dick Tracy quotes
Page 1 of 2The girls are tired. We've been going all night. It's 2 a.m.
It's 2 a.m.? I'm about to turn this dump into the best place of a new era in entertainment, you're telling me it's 2 a.m.?
Hey! That was a silly thing to do. He's the best piano player in town.
Shut up! Come here. Next time, I take his fingers and I turn them into pretzels. I just might do the same thing to your face.
See? He's playing better already.
Around me, if a woman don't wear mink, she don't wear nothin'.
Well, I look good both ways.
Thanks for calling. I was beginning to wonder what a girl had to do to get arrested.
Wearing that dress is a step in the right direction.
Is the enemy of my enemy my friend, or the enemy of my friend my enemy?
What?
Or enemy of my enemy my enemy?
What'd he say?
The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
He said the enemy of his enemy is his enemy.
Oh.
Mumbles, do you care to go over that again?
Ceramic bear that pours water, Tracy removes head to reveal a hidden tape recorder
Rigwoydidit...rewinds...Wig woy idit...rewinds again...Big Boy did it.
W-w-wait!
Tracy turns around
88 Keys, the piano man, set you up. Big Boy paid him to get you out of the way.
: EAT LEAD TRACY.
When do we eat?
I don't like dames.
Good. Me neither.
You have to understand Tess, that Dick Tracy is a hard man on himself. He could get elected President of the United States and complain that he was relegated to a desk job.
Mr. Tracy, this is Mrs. Snide from the orphanage. We need to speak to you about the runaway you have been harboring.
I did not hear anything from the orphanage about this.
[Tracy opens door to be greeted by Shoulders, Flattop and Itchy, who are ready to pounce on him]
Oh look Lips, you dirtied your pretty tuxedo. Looks like you need a bath!
The "Bath"?! Not "the bath", Big Boy, not "the bath"!
It was great working for you but now it is time to retire.
Ain't we pals, Big Boy? Ain't we pals?
There are no pals in this business, Lips, you taught me that! I hate to do this, and I'm gonna miss you, but all is fair in love and business - Benjamin Franklin.
NO!
All right, put the word out! Lips' territory is my territory now. Anyone who was working for him, is working for me. Everything he owns, I own!
You were right, Tracy. I couldn't pull the trigger. [Dick Tracy: It was a good plan, Breathless. You almost pulled it off. The city would've been yours.] Yeah. You were my only mistake. Tell me the truth. Could it ever have happened between us? [she gives Dick Tracy one last kiss before succumbing to her wounds and dying]
All right, that is enough! I want them dead, both of them. I want this No Face dead and I want Tracy dead. What's the matter, you bums forgot how to kill people? Doesn't your work mean anything to you anymore? Have you no sense of pride in what you do? [yelling] No sense of DUTY?! No sense of DESTINY?! I'm looking for generals; what do I got?! Foot soldiers! [yelling even louder] I WANT DICK TRACY DEAD!!!
Aren't you gonna frisk me?
