"I mean the crime fans. Who find themselves a nice misunderstood little convict and resolve to take care of him."
"I'm not a crime fan, Phil, I'm a newspaper columnist. I'd like to hear you say that to a man."
"It's not that you're a woman, darling, it's just that you're you. You're awfully susceptible to clever men. It's your main weakness. Put you with a witty man who's a bit of a [fuckup] and you can be talked into anything."

"Look who you live with, kid."
