- Lady: [a sidewalk Santa pulls a gun on the clientele] Are you mugging me?
- Santa Claus: It's been a bleak year at the toyshop!
- Santa Claus: [he tries it again] Come on, I can't stand here all night, I knock off at twelve!
- [the victim strikes back by knocking Santa's gun out of his hand with her purse and stabbing him with a hat pin]
- Santa Claus: [walking off into the alley] She stabbed me. She stabbed me!
- Police Sergeant Grover: Oh, eh, I wanted to talk to you about...
- Sam McCloud: Not tonight Grover, I'm gonna be off in two minutes. I got a beautiful woman and a Christmas tree waiting for me. I wanna be trimmin' that tree, not hanging from it.
- Peter B. Clifford: Well, I always knew I could count on you to make a spectacular entrance, McCloud, but that one was out of the blue!
- Sam McCloud: There ya go.
- Sergeant Joe Broadhurst: [Chief Clifford is at Westside Hospital, if anyone wants him] Just tell them to report to Santa.
- Female officer: [the stranger has just left the police station] Who was that?
- Police Sergeant Grover: I don't know, friend of McClouds.
- Female officer: He didn't have much to say, did he?
- Police Sergeant Grover: Silent night.
- Pete Lancaster: It's ten o' clock. We should be playing in the Village right now.
- [sighs, turns to Peggy]
- Pete Lancaster: You wanna sing a carol for the kiddies, keep ' em amused?
- Peggy: Yeah, right.
- Pete Lancaster: You got no Christmas spirit, huh?
- Kate O'Hannah: New York is the coldest city in the world to be in... when you're alone.
- Sam McCloud: Hey, why don't you tell me about it, I wrote the book.
- Chris Coughlin: [Chief Clifford is dressed up as Santa Claus] In fact, I was the one that asked that you be requested to volunteer for this role.
- Peter B. Clifford: That's a dangerous confession to make to a desperate man in a confined space.
- Sergeant Joe Broadhurst: Hellman would rush in on a gunman holding his mother hostage if he thought it was going by the book.
