Nick Crowder: Clipper, you'd suspect your own grandmother!
Clipper McCoy: Yeah, but you're not my grandmother.
Nick Crowder: Don't bet on it!

Nick Crowder: Who pulled the strings to get this fight on tonight?
Kentaro Moto: I plead guilty, Mr. Crowder. You see, some people save strings; I pull them.

Kentaro Moto: [examining the dead body] This is not suicide Mr. Riggs.
[dryly]
Kentaro Moto: It's most unusual to shoot oneself in the back and without a gun.

Kentaro Moto: Much information can be obtained from tongues loosened in anger.

Kentaro Moto: There is no situation that science and skill cannot master.

Kentaro Moto: To recognize one's faults requires intelligence; to admit them requires courage.

Lieutenant Riggs: [frustrated] Medium height, medium build, medium complexion - I'd have to be a medium to find Howard from the description like that Detroit tailor gives me!

Lieutenant Riggs: A sock in the eye ain't homicide. Maybe his ticker went bad on him. Who knows?
Kentaro Moto: No one... except the coroner.

Lee Chan: Gosh, that's a pretty girl sitting with your friend!
Lieutenant Riggs: That's his daughter Linda. She's got her nose so high in the air, she'd drown in a rainstorm.

Lee Chan: Oh, Mr. Moto?
Kentaro Moto: Yes, Lee?
Lee Chan: I though you would like to know I got a letter from Pop yesterday.
Kentaro Moto: Oh, you did?
Lee Chan: Mm-hmm. He sent his best to you.
Kentaro Moto: Thank you. And, uh, how is your honorable father enjoying his homelife in beautiful Honolulu?
Lee Chan: He seems fine, but he kind of worries about me. Y'see, I'm really supposed to be studying art here at the university... but gosh, I want to be a detective!
Kentaro Moto: [chuckles] I understand. My parents wanted me to be an acrobat.
