  1. [to Robie] Did I brush your fur the wrong way?

  2. [to Robie, about her father] It's because of you he's dead...Get out of here - killer...Murderer!

  3. [to Robie] You've got a very strong grip - the kind a burglar needs.

  4. [at a costume ball] Any man without a lady on his arm can only be a policeman.

  5. What I can't understand is how this thief can imitate me so perfectly. It has to be someone who knew every detail of my technque. Maybe somebody in the police...He picks perfect victims and only the right stones. Goes up walls, over the roofs, down through the skylights. Leaves no clue and then disappears in the night...If somebody caught this imitator, we'd all be off the hook, wouldn't we?...No one believes me, but the police are chasing the wrong man. Someone's got to start chasing the right one...I've got to catch this imitator myself...I can anticipate him, try to figure out his next move, and then get there ahead of him and catch him with his hands right in the jewel case...The biggest problem is time.

  8. [about her jewelry] I didn't buy these things for my old age. I bought them to wear.

  9. Palaces are for royalty. We're just common people with a bank account.

  10. I might even retire here...Quite a few of the roofs need careful examination.

  11. [to Hughson] You don't have to spend every day of your life proving your honesty, but I do.

  12. [to Frances, about Robie] I wouldn't mind buying that for you.
