Bertha Duncan : Did Mr. Stone send you?
Debby Marsh : No. I've been thinking about you and me, how much alike we are.
[glances at the expensive furs they're both wearing]
Debby Marsh : The mink-coated girls.
Bertha Duncan : I don't understand you. What are you here for, Miss Marsh?
Debby Marsh : Debby. We should use first names, Bertha. We're sisters under the mink.

Dave Bannion : [having figured out Bertha's blackmail scheme] Our city is being strangled by a gang of thieves, and you protect Lagana and Stone for the sake of a soft, plush life.
Bertha Duncan : The coming years are going to be just fine, Mr. Bannion.
Dave Bannion : There aren't going to be any... "coming years" for you. None at all.
