No, let us work on it. Is it Speedtrap?

From Russia With Love, correct. This patter is the recognition code --or password-- for operatives who have not met before. The presence of a briefcase is also part of the scheme. At one point, the meeting takes place on a railway platform, train noises dominant, and the words are not heard, but the meaning is clear to the audience, because it's been seen before.

dialogue used several times
"Pardon me, do you have a match?"
"I use a lighter."
"Better still."
"Until they go wrong."
"Exactly."
Used in different locations. One of the people different each time. Always with one of the speakers carrying a briefcase.

There are other titles in the time frame (House of Wax, The Fly, et al, but I don't know enough about them to name the gimmick. When this is finally answered, will you please name the source of your info about Hitch being inspired by the movie?

I was just about to use the clue about 'frogs on little crutches'. Your thread.

Lead-up to the quote: In a live-fire exercise, the speaker has just been complemented on the target hit he had made with the 90MM canon on his M-48 tank.

There have been two recent movies about Hitch himself, and other published discussions on that subject. The Wisconsin case of Ed Gein, and the resulting Robert Block novel, also titled Psycho, are the sources. I've thumbed through these subjects since this question was posted, and I've found no reference to any one movie being the "inspiration" for the making of the 1960 opus.
As for the reference to a "gimmick", is there some aspect that Hitch referenced? A shower stabbing, a fleeing thief, a cross-dresser, an event involving ****?

A lot of the characters in this story are not human beings.

I had scrolled through all the IMDb quotes from In the Heat of the Night, but your extra clue sent me to one of the 'whole script' sites. Luck placed it fairly early in the script.
"Could be a hitch-hiker. Scout both ends of town. Then the pool hall. Then the depot."
