One of my favorite movie lines is from The Naked City (1948): Ted de Corsia as the killer Willy Garzah flees the NYPD by climbing up the Williamsburg Bridge. His pursuer Barry Fitzgerald as the homicide detective Lieutenant Dan Muldoon calls up to him: "All right, Garzah, we give you a hundred percent for acrobatics." I love it. A policeman expressing a humorous thought while chasing a very dangerous criminal!
