Quote #4

CLOUDY: (holding up a pair of women's panties) These yours, darling?

Here, just as Popeye calls his one-night-stand "kid," Cloudy calls Popeye "darling," as a way to get his goat. It's a female softness that's out of place in their man's world. Also, why does Popeye still have his hook-up's boots?!

Quote #5

MULDERIG: You still wearing your gun at your ankle? I heard it was so when you meet a girl and rub up against her, she doesn't know you're a cop. I call bulls***. It's probably some quick-draw thing or whatever.

Professional prowess or romance: which is worse, Agent Mulderig?

Quote #6

CLOUDY: (undercover, to Angie Boca) Listen I wanna get a blouse like that for my girlfriend but I want you to model it.

ANGIE: Better not let my husband hear that.

Of course, Angie is a criminal too, and she'll do it for 200 bucks. Money is money, and sex is power.
