Frank McNally Quotes in Pickup Alley (1957)

Frank McNally: Find yourself a table, doll.

Joe - First Bartender: I can never understand it.

Frank McNally: You ought to by now.

Joe - First Bartender: Yeah, maybe. I still don't get the percentage. Somebody wants to get real loaded, that I can understand. It's normal, if you know what I mean. But, this, I don't get? You never figure how guys can get themselves hooked like this. Still, if it makes you happy, it makes me happy. It's all money.

Frank McNally: Well, look who's here.

Gina Broger: Frank, please get rid of them.

Frank McNally: I can't spoil the party, darling. It only started yesterday.

Gina Broger: But, Frank, I've got to talk...

Frank McNally: I want to talk to you, now. You've been a naughty girl.

[to the partygoers]

Frank McNally: Back in a minute. A little business, chums.

[to Gina]

Frank McNally: A very naughty girl.

Frank McNally: I've heard all about it. Are you scared a little, darling? Yes, I know how you feel. The first kill is always a bit trying. I had no idea you were such a good shot. You must try one of those relaxing pills or that hot stuff they advertise, before you go to sleep.

Gina Broger: Don't! Don't, Frank. If you won't help me, I don't know who will.

Frank McNally: I'll help you, doll. It's just going to be a little expensive, that's all. I'll take care of everything. My partner is no great loss. You haven't got to worry about anything. You just go on looking beautiful. I wish someone would paint you. I wish I could. I'd rather see you hung in the Royal Academy than just - hung.

Frank McNally: Now, now, now, don't worry about what's happened today. Unless you decide not to do as I tell you, then, you start worrying. You see, doll, we both need each other.

Frank McNally: [to Gina] Don't forget to smile at the boys.

Capt. Baris: What did you say - is it this time, our little cargo item?

Frank McNally: I didn't say.

Capt. Baris: Heroin or morphine?

Frank McNally: Any difference to you?

Capt. Baris: I understand heroin is bringing better prices in the States.

Frank McNally: That's why it's heroin. You've been studying the fluctuating market, haven't you, Baris?

Capt. Baris: How are you getting it into Athens?

Frank McNally: Who'd expect Lebanese opium, processed in Naples, to go to New York by way of Athens. Brilliant, don't you think?

Capt. Baris: How much is there this time?

[McNally doesn't answer]

Capt. Baris: Well, I must know. To judge the space. To make the best arrangements.

Frank McNally: About seventy kilos.

Capt. Baris: Seventy kilos! I haven't planned on so much. Do you realize this is worth - three million dollars.

Frank McNally: You have been studying the market, haven't you, Baris.

Frank McNally: No, we will not quarrel. But, I'd like to give you a little warning: don't try to blackmail me again or we might. See you around.

Frank McNally: How's my wandering girl?

Gina Broger: Frank, I meant I'm not coming with you. You are not going to tell me what to do any more.

Frank McNally: [Slaps Gina across the face] You stupid girl. Here are your tickets. Do you realize I could have had any doll doing errands for me? But I never wanted - any doll. We'll meet on the other side.
