MURDER CLOUDED BY EVIL... EVERY SECOND A HEARTBEAT... (taglines)
Harold Dunlap
You're very pretty when your lips aren't moving.
Mike Bennett
Gee, trains are wonderful, especially at night. They're like big, long snakes with lighted skins. And they whistle and smoke and rattle. Boy, they're somethin'.
Dr. Valonius
He was a man trying to lead a simple, happy life. He found out life was neither simple nor happy.
Willy
Any more news about the gal who had her heart manicured?
Dialogue
McFee: Some girl got herself killed on the Limited. Found her on the rear platform. Nail file, like that. Right through the heart.
Barney: Somebody do her in?
Willy: They weren't cleanin' her nails.
Harold Dunlap: There's no sense in scaring the boy.
Ruth Bennett: He should be scared. I'm scared with him alone heaven knows where. If scaring will scare him, he should be scared.
Harold Dunlap: I'll give him a good talkin-to, just like a big brother.
Ruth Bennett: Make sure you scare him.
