Rear Window Quote

Jeff : Are you interested in solving this case or in making me look foolish?
Lt. Doyle : Well, if possible, both.
Jeff : Well then, do a good job of it. Go over there and search Thorwald's apartment. The whole place must be knee-deep in evidence.
Lt. Doyle : I can't do that.
Jeff : No, I mean not right now. Just wait for a while until he goes out later for drink or a paper or something. What he doesn't know woun't hurt him.
Lt. Doyle : I can't do that even if he isn't there.
Jeff : Why not? Does he have a curtesy card from the local police department?
Lt. Doyle : Now don't get me angry. This is America. Not even a detective can just walk into an apartment and search it. Why personaly, if I was caught in there, they'd have my badge within 10 minutes.
Jeff : Then make sure you don't get caught, that's all. If you find something, you have a murder. They'd probaly not care very much about a few broken house rules. If you don't find anything, the fellow's clear.
