Dialogue
[edit]- Police dispatcher: Calling Car 15. Calling Car 15. Car 15!
- Pat Patton: Car 15, Patton speaking.
- Police dispatcher: Contact Dick Tracy at once. Have him go over to the Flawless Furs warehouse. Dillon reports some shenanigans - a busted fuse box at the garage.
- Pat Patton: Then tell him to call-tell him to call an electrician, not Dick Tracy
- Police dispatcher: Now come on, Pat! The night watchman has disappeared. It might be homicide.
- Pat Patton: Oh, that's different. I'll tell Dick Tracy right away!
- Jigger: Find what you're lookin' for, Tracy?
- Dick Tracy: No... and see that I don't. I understand Hatchet Harry has been hangin' around here.
- Jigger: Why, that's a big mistake! Say, you know I run a respectable joint.
- Tess Trueheart: Sometimes, I wish I had been a super criminal.
- Vitamin Flintheart: Why, my dear?
- Tess Trueheart: Because then I might get to see something of Mr. Dick Tracy!
