Detective Story Quotes

Detective James McLeod: I ought to fall on you like the sword of God.
Karl Schneider: That sword has two edges. You could cut your own throat.
Detective James McLeod: I'm going to give you a piece of advice, Karl. When they let you free again, get out of New York. You butcher one more patient and law or no law, I'll find you. I'll put a bullet in the back of your head, and I'll drop your body in the East River. And I'll go home and I'll sleep sweetly.
Karl Schneider: You don't frighten me. Now I'll give you some advice. I have plenty on you, too. I know why you're so vindictive.
Detective James McLeod: Why?
Karl Schneider: Just watch your step. Because I happen to have friends, downtown, with pull.
Detective James McLeod: Have you?
Karl Schneider: Lots of pull.
Detective James McLeod: Well, what do you know? Aren't you the big shot? Pull. Have you got any friends with push, like that? [Shoves him and begins slapping him]
