Quotes 

• Peter Gunn : Immortality is a happy childhood.

  Police Lt. Jacoby : What's your point?

  Peter Gunn : We grow up and we die. Worrying about it just gets us there a little sooner.

  Police Lt. Jacoby : Trite, but not very original.

• Mother : [being pressured by gangsters for "protection" money]  Pete, you think you can get Fusco to lay off?

  Peter Gunn : You think you can store Lake Michigan in your basement?

• Peter Gunn : Something about a new grave makes me want to run a four-minute mile, get drunk and shack up with a redhead. Not necessarily in that order.

• Peter Gunn : [off to see Daisy Jane]  It won't take long.

  Edie : [annoyed with him for going]  I'm surprised you admit it.

• Police Lt. Jacoby : There's a rumor that you might be considering certain reprisals against the party or parties responsible for the demise of the late Mr. Scarlotti.

  Peter Gunn : Interesting rumor.

  Police Lt. Jacoby : This is going to get worse before it gets better.

  Peter Gunn : It's a possibility.

  Police Lt. Jacoby : I don't want you around steaming up my glasses.

• Samantha : [reluctant to leave Gunn's bedroom]  You don't know what you'll be missing...

  Peter Gunn : [expecting Edie any minute]  I know what you'll be missing if my friend shows up before you're out of here!

• Police Lt. Jacoby : Tell you what: I'll promise to stop worrying if you promise to butt out. After all, what did Scarlotti ever do for you?

  Peter Gunn : Saved my life.

  Police Lt. Jacoby : Sure, but what else?

  Peter Gunn : You've got a point, lieutenant.

• Police Lt. Jacoby : [harangued by Gunn for not arresting Fusco]  Next time I bust Fusco, I'm gonna make it stick. I want him just as much as you do, Pete.

  Peter Gunn : [angry, and about to leave]  If you wanted him as much as I do, you'd have picked him up an hour ago.

  Police Lt. Jacoby : Pete - I'll go after you just as fast as I go after Fusco.

  Peter Gunn : [exiting]  Then I've got nothing to worry about!

• Daisy Jane : How do you know I didn't get you over here just to seduce you?

  Peter Gunn : That wouldn't make you tight about the eyes.

• Edie : [while passionately kissing]  I sense something.

  Peter Gunn : I should hope so.

  Edie : No, something else.

  Peter Gunn : Well, a pinch of this, a dash of that and it all adds up.

  Edie : There's a definite lack of stability in that kiss.

  Peter Gunn : Well, that's ridiculous. I built my professional reputation on stable kisses.

  Edie : Really?

  Peter Gunn : Done some of my best work in stables.

  Edie : I still cant help but feel that kiss included among other things a certain degree of instability.

  Peter Gunn : [teasingly]  I refuse to stand here and allow my professional reputation to be challenged by fresh-faced novice.
