I remember the line was parodied in a comedy. One of the Naked Gun/ Hot Shots series, but I don 't recall which one.

_Casablanca_ is correct.

“Woman, you’re driving me crazy. Didn’t he have a gun?”  
“Well, yeah, he had a gun.”  
“Well?”  
“I took it from him and called the police.”  
“Oh, you just took it to the police… just like that. And then I suppose you gave him tea.”  
“Milk.”
