• Russell Logan : You know what your problem is, Ollie? All this mumbo jumbo occult bullshit has got you spooked. The guy's got you thinking he's the boogeyman or the Ku Klux Klan.

  Russell Logan : That's "fuck you, sir!"

• Detective Oliver Franklin : [after seeing Patrick Channing put to death in the gas chamber, his arm twitches]  It's just aftershocks. Like a chicken with his head cut off!

• Russell Logan : [On a stakeout]  He'll show.

  Detective Oliver Franklin : Y'know, that's all you've been saying for three days: "He'll show". You ought to put that to music!

• Detective Oliver Franklin : [Witnessing Patrick Channing being put to death]  Adios, creep!

• Detective Oliver Franklin : [Looking at Tess in the interrogation room]  Good looking broad, nice threads. Doesn't look like a nut. Says she knows who did it but will only talk to you, man.

  Russell Logan : Let's give the lady what she wants.

• Detective Oliver Franklin : [after pushing the doorbell to Tess' house, there's no answer so Logan takes out his lockpick]  It wouldn't hurt if we had a warrant.

  Russell Logan : We'll just tell the judge we had a psychic hunch!

• Detective Oliver Franklin : [after searching Tess' house, Logan finds newspaper articles and clippings with his name on them]  You better look out, man. She might have a Voodoo love doll of you around here somewhere too!
