- Ethel: Merle's gettin' married today.
- Michael Shayne: Gettin' married? She can't do that to me!
- Ethel: You can't blame her none, Mike. After all, she was caught between a stiff breeze and plenty of wind.
- Michael Shayne: Talk English!
- Ethel: Well, you gave her a stiff breeze, and he gave her plenty of wind.
- Michael Shayne: Who is he?
- Michael Shayne: Well, he sells us the Fournier One-Minute Wart Remover. And, boy, is it fo-nay!
- Juan Arturo O'Hara: She's what I call a very attractive woman!
- Michael Shayne: Yeah, she's a very regular fella too.
- Michael Shayne: [Giving up trying to batter open the door as the hold fills up with water] Hey, it's no use! How good are you at drowning?
- Juan Arturo O'Hara: I did fine last time.
- Michael Shayne: [Climbing on top of a crate] Come on. Let's pick ourselves a comfortable spot to do it.
