Joseph 'Joe' Calerno : [the Chief refuses to let the crook go free to try and find the missing boy] All right, wise guy. Be smart and see what happens.
Joseph 'Joe' Calerno : [to the cop standing by him] Take me back, flatfoot. I'm fed up.
Mr. Frederick Martindale Vincent II : Chief, you can't let him go. What about my boy?
Joseph 'Joe' Calerno : You think I took that kid, don't you? Well, I didn't.I didn't even want him. I tried to make him go back to you, but he wouldn't go. What do you know about that, huh? A swell papa you are! Not even lettin' him have a dog. Why, that kid was happier with me than he ever was with you. Yeah, with me, a crook. Say, if I wasn't so crazy about that kid, do you think I'd be standing here, answering my own questions?
Chief Davison : Take him out, boys.
Mr. Frederick Martindale Vincent II : Now wait, he may be right at that.
Joseph 'Joe' Calerno : You bet I'm right. Why, that kid was nuts about me, and I was the same about him. Gee, what a great time we had. We swam together, fished together. Why, he slept right beside me. Me, and him, and the dog.
Mr. Frederick Martindale Vincent II : I may be crazy, but I'm beginning to believe him.
Chief Davison : Well, you've got one fan, anyway, Joe.
