"I'm gonna have a thought." "It's coming." "It's gone." "Let's rise above the tide." "Take that journey, that journey into that faraway land, a land that just waits." "It waits by the track, where the train of destiny must run, run into the future breaking the shackles of the past." "Forget the past." "Forget the..." "Our limitations are our shackles." "Put them behind you forever." "Put them behind you forever, Tess." "Can't you see I love you?" "(THUDDING)" "Wait!" "What's that?" "Hands up, copper!" "We gotta talk." "I did not kidnap this woman."

"Where are ya?" "Where'd ya go?" "What, are you playin' hide-and-seek?" "You're hidin' from me?" "That's not fair." "No way to be, Dick." "Come out, Tracy." "These gears are turnin'." "You want this dumb dame's head to be smashed like a walnut?" "Tracy, I did not kidnap this girl." "Somebody's trying to frame me!" "Where are you?" "Come on." "Just let me see ya." "I just wanna see your face." "I just wanna talk some sense." "I wanna..." "I just wanna take your head, and I wanna crack it like an egg!" "No, no!" "I didn't mean that!" "No, Tracy, listen to me." " (CRUNCHING)" " Tracy, you hear that?" "What's happening to that can is gonna be happening to her head in a few seconds." "There's not going to be anymore beautiful hair to fondle, huh?" "No ears to nuzzle." "You're gonna have chopped sweetheart, Tracy." "See those gears?" "Those gears are like a clock." "Every notch, tick tock." "(CLANGING)" "(GRUNTING)" "TESS:" "Tracy!" "(GUN FIRES)" "THE BLANK:" "Drop it, Big Boy." "Get your hands up, Tracy." "Don't move, either one of you." "I outsmarted you, Big Boy." "I knew you'd panic." "I brought you down with kidnapping, the only crime you didn't commit." "Whoever you are, I know we can make a deal." "THE BLANK:" "A deal?" "I'm making my deal with Tracy." "Tracy, with Big Boy out of the way, we can own this town." "Pick up that pipe and kill him." "Pick it up!" "Pick up that pipe." "TESS:" "Tracy, no!" "Drop that gun!"

"Tess, call an ambulance." "I'll call, Tess." "I'll go get it." "You were right, Tracy." "I couldn't pull the trigger." "It was a good plan, Breathless." "You almost pulled it off." " The city would have been yours." " Yeah." "You were my only mistake." "Tell me the truth." "Could it ever have happened between us?" "That's how we got him to confess that Breathless killed Fletcher." " He was her piano player." " Not bad." "Right." "Mmm-hmm." "You know, you're probably much too smart to need this, but I think I'm gonna give it to you anyway." "Gee!" "Tracy!" "This..." "Thank you." "Wow!" "Tastes different, Mike." "What did you do?" "Wash the bowl?" "Don't listen to him, Mike." "It's just grand." "MIKE:" "Except for the guy she goes out with, this lady's got real taste." " Tess." " What?" " I've been thinking." " What about?" "Well, you living alone, and..." "I like living alone." "Uh-huh." "We have that in common, I guess." "Uh-huh." "Well, don't we?" "Well, I just think when two people have so much in common, they ought to do something about it." "Would..." "Uh-oh." "Shut up, Kid." "And... (CLEARS THROAT)" "Don't..." "Yes?" "Don't you think we'd be happier if we just..." "What?" "What do you think?" "Dick Tracy, are you asking me to..." "PAT:" "Calling Dick Tracy." "Pat Patton to Dick Tracy."
