- Harriet Miller: What I was thinking was that physical and emotional barter went out in the Middle Ages.
- Stingray: Well, just think. We're helping to bring it back.
- Stingray: I didn't think you were going to show up.
- Assistant D.A. Daphne Delgado: Oh, that would be a new twist on our relationship.
- Assistant D.A. Daphne Delgado: All these months since you helped Eddie and me, I was wondering about you. Wondering why you do it. Now I asked you that once, and you said, "Because I can." But that's not why. I mean, why do you choose to live your life on the run? No permanent residence, no lasting friendships, no relationships that extend beyond the moment.
- Stingray: You ever think it may not be my choice?
- Assistant D.A. Daphne Delgado: I'd like to believe that. It's awful hard on a girl's ego to be left without a goodbye or anything.
- Stingray: I care about you, Daphne, I really do. And if I could, I'd spend time with you. I'd share my life with you.
- Assistant D.A. Daphne Delgado: So why don't you?
- Stingray: Ahh. 'Cause I made a few promises to some people.
- Assistant D.A. Daphne Delgado: To who?
- Stingray: To some people.
- Assistant D.A. Daphne Delgado: Who are they?
- Stingray: Most of them are dead.
- Assistant D.A. Daphne Delgado: But you won't tell me who they are or why you...
- Stingray: You getting tired of driving? Why don't you let me drive for awhile?
- Harriet Miller: You're not very good at answering questions, are you?
- Stingray: Well, my sense of inquiry always overwhelms my sense of response. Especially in the presence of psychiatrists. I don't want any of my personality defects to show.
