The Postman Always Rings Twice Movie Quotes

Cora Smith It's too bad Nick took the car.

Frank Chambers Even if it was here, we couldn't take it, unless we'd want to spend the night in jail. Stealing a man's wife, that's nothing, but stealing a man's car, that's larceny.

[last lines]

Frank Chambers You know, there's something about this that's like... well, it's like you're expecting a letter that you're just crazy to get, and you hang around the front door for fear you might not hear him ring. You never realize that he always rings twice.

Father McConnell What's that?

Frank Chambers Well, he rang twice for Cora... and now he's ringing twice for me, isn't he? That's about it. The truth is, you always hear him ring the second time... even if you're way out in the backyard. Father, you were right. It all works out. I guess God knows more about these things than we do. Somehow or other Cora paid for Nick's life with hers. And now I'm going to. Father, would you send up a prayer for me and Cora? And if you could find it in your heart... make it that we're together, wherever it is.

Nick Smith [about his plan to sell Twin Oaks and move to Canada to take care of his sister] My mind's made up.

Cora Smith So, you've given it a great deal of thought; your mind's made up? Without even talking it over with me, your mind's made up. Well, mine isn't!

Nick Smith [coldly] That's too bad.

Frank Chambers I'd like to see him get plastered like that some night and drive off a cliff.

[Arthur Keats enters, closes the door]

Cora Smith If it's the last thing I do, I'll put you out of business. There must be a law, even for lawyers.

Arthur Keats Of course you know the district attorney fooled you into that confession, don't you? And you fell for it, both of you.

[small hrmph]

Arthur Keats He planned to get you working against each other. Don't you see?

Cora Smith You bet I see.

[turning to Frank]

Cora Smith So when Sackett couldn't get anything out of me, he started in on you, and right away you turned yellow.

Arthur Keats Yellow? Yellow is a color you figure on in a murder, and nobody figures it better than Kyle Sackett.

[to Frank]

Arthur Keats That was Sackett's trump card. Once he tricked you into signing that complaint against her, he knew no power on earth could keep you

[to Cora]

Arthur Keats from turning on him.

[back to Frank]

Arthur Keats That way he gets you both.

Cora Smith If you knew all that, why didn't you stop me from confessing?

Arthur Keats Oh, I tried. I tried, but nobody could've stopped you. However, now that you've got it off your chest...

[moving to door, opening it]

Arthur Keats Kennedy?

Ezra Liam Kennedy Yes, sir?

[enters]

Arthur Keats [closes door] That confession Mrs. Smith signed. What did you do with it?

Ezra Liam Kennedy I gave it to Jimmy White to lock up in your safe like you told me to.

Arthur Keats [opening door] That's all.

[Kennedy leaves, he closes door]

Cora Smith You mean he's not from the D.A.'s office?

Frank Chambers He's a plainclothes dick if I ever saw one.

Arthur Keats He used to be a dick, but he's not a dick anymore. He works for me now. He's my gumshoe man. With the district attorney using high-pressure tactics, I had to fight fire with fire. Since you were due to spill the beans anyway, I figured you better do it to my man rather than to Sackett's.

Cora Smith Why, you...

Arthur Keats That's why I said we'd plead guilty, so as to stop everything cold in that courtroom before you blew your topper right there and then.

Frank Chambers Then the district attorney's got nothing against me.

Arthur Keats No, Frank, you're not even under arrest.

Cora Smith Oh, sure, he goes free, and I get tossed in for murder and attempt.

Arthur Keats Unless... unless you let me handle it.

Cora Smith Ha!

Arthur Keats Listen, my girl, you're still in plenty of trouble, 'cause we don't know exactly what evidence Sackett's got against us. From now on, you speak only when you're spoken to, and in that court tomorrow try to look as young and innocent as possible under the circumstances. And remember I'm the only hope you've got.

Cora Smith That note I left Nick, if he gets back before we do and finds it...

Frank Chambers Where'd you leave it?

Cora Smith In the cash register!

Frank Chambers That's terrific, that's the first place he'll look.
