"I do not choose to have people accuse me of false promises for the sake of cheap sensationalism, or to be compromised by your lieutenant. Castrate him."

"All right, that is enough! I want them dead, both of them. I want this No Face dead and I want Tracy dead. What's the matter, you bums forgot how to kill people? Doesn't your work mean anything to you anymore? Have you no sense of pride in what you do? No sense of DUTY?! No sense of DESTINY?! I'm looking for generals; what do I got?! Foot soldiers! I WANT DICK TRACY DEAD!!!"

"There was one Napoleon...one Washington...one me!"

"Tess, you're one in a million."

"Take the bad men away. They scare me."

"Because I have a vision. A big boss must have a vision. We gotta town with thousands of small stores and businesses. People are working real hard. I think they should be working real hard. For us. Because we are for the people. "And if you ain't for the people, you can't buy the people." Lincoln."

"When do we eat?"

"I'm on my way!"

"Flattop: [shooting a wall with a machine gun]: EAT LEAD TRACY."

"Mrs. Trueheart: You have to understand Tess, that Dick Tracy is a hard man on himself. He could get elected President of the United States and complain that he was relegated to a desk job."

"Kid / Dick Tracy Jr.: When do we eat?"

"Itchy: Yeah! Thirty seconds, no more Dick! Thirty seconds, no more Dick! Thirty seconds, no more Dick!"

"Flattop: I guess that's the end of Dick!"

"[last words] You were right, Tracy. I couldn't pull the trigger. [Dick Tracy: It was a good plan, Breathless. You almost pulled it off. The city would've been yours.] Yeah. You were my only mistake. Tell me the truth. Could it ever have happened between us? [she gives Dick Tracy one last kiss before succumbing to her wounds and dying]"

"Aren't you gonna frisk me?"

"I know how you feel. You don't know if you want to hit me or kiss me. I get a lot of that."

"Don't move! Not if you want to stay alive. A woman, a woman, a woman! I've been humiliated by a woman. The way I see it—and Plato agrees with me—is that there is what is, and then there is what we would like it to be. But that's not important. What's important is the future; it's planning ahead. "A man without a plan is not a man." Nietzsche. Wait a minute. Wait. I'm having a thought. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I'm gonna have a thought. It's coming. It's gone. We must 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 past. Our limitations are our shackles. Put them behind you forever. Put them behind you forever, Tess. Can't you see I love you?"
