Quotes:
You’re not going to make any more headway than a hummingbird in a wind tunnel.
Novak (to Hellman): You couldn’t track down a live bear in a telephone booth.
Hellman: I’ll make a try on you, Mister. And when I’m through there’ll be enough to put you in that gas chamber.
Novak: They could save money and do the same thing.
Hellman: Huh?
Novak: They can lock me in the same closet with you.
