- Joe Mannix: That's what bothers me. I've never seen anything fall apart so fast and still look exactly the same.
- Lt. Clay Lockwood: Forget it! Give it up!
- Joe Mannix: I can't. The farther I go into it the wilder it gets. Next thing you know, I'll find out where you fit in. Clay, you better protect yourself. I'm gonna ride this all the way down.
- Vodich: [meets with Hammel at the hospital] Sounded urgent. The boss sent me right out.
- Hammel: It is.
- Vodich: You found Danny Labor?
- Hammel: No, but I found his old man. He says Danny couldn't shoot anybody.
- Vodich: But the drug store... The guy was shot, wasn't he?
- Hammel: Maybe. Or maybe he's gonna get shot.
