Quotes 

• Tony : This isn't a family. It's just a bunch of people living at the same address.

• Mrs. Schuyler : [to a sleeping Rome on the sofa]  Mr Rome. Are we alone?

  Tony : [Rome awakes and looks around]  Yeah. Why, what did you have in mind?

  Mrs. Schuyler : I'm Mrs. Schuyler. I want to hire you.

  Tony : Well, I'm afraid not. You see I'm tied up on a case this week. Maybe next week.

  Mrs. Schuyler : Well that will be too late. My pussycat will be dead by then.

  Tony : [with a bewildered look]  Your pussycat?

  Mrs. Schuyler : Someone's trying to poison her.

  Tony : Oh. Well, how do you know?

  Mrs. Schuyler : From her attitude. She's nervous, she's terrified.

  Tony : Well, you can't bank too much on the attitude of a pussycat.

  Mrs. Schuyler : Well my pussy used to be so sunny and full of fun, with the sweetest smile.

  Tony : You got a pussy that smiles?

  Mrs. Schuyler : No, that's just the point. She's frowning now. She knows. I tell you she knows.

  Tony : Well, I'm afraid I can't help you, Mrs. Schuyler.

  Mrs. Schuyler : But, you could at least meet my pussy.

  Tony : No, no, no. It's not possible. I can't meet your pussy. Why don't you try the Brines Agency - they specialize in pussy that won't smile.

  Mrs. Schuyler : Oh. Oh, well, thank you, Mr Rome. Thank you.

  [Mrs. Schuyler walks out the door] 

• Diana Pines : People change. They don't always turn out the way you expect.

  Tony : I know. You should see my baby pictures.

• Ann : Why don't we go away on that boat of yours for a few days?

  Tony : You know I can't do that. I'm too busy.

  Ann : I wish I could get busy.

  Tony : Get a job.

  Ann : [rejected]  That's too busy.

• Tony : You can tell me why he beat you up.

  Georgia McKay : I was a little girl when I knew him back home. I ran into him a few times down here at the club. He asked me out. Well I guess he expected something different. But you wouldn't understand.

  Tony : Oh, I might. Maybe he was trying to get into the wrong ballpark.

• Ralph Turpin, Hotel House Detective : Tony, I have a job for you.

  Tony : Is it a dead girl or under age?
