Broderick Crawford : The clowns at the circus are real funny, but on the highway they're murder. This is Broderick Crawford - I'll see you next week.

Officer Barney : This Barlow - he's, uh, mixed up in the rackets, isn't he?
Dan Mathews : Yeah, the numbers.
Officer Barney : I never heard of him connected with anything rough, though.
Dan Mathews : Well, you have now.

Dan Mathews : Figure it out - plane lands on an isolated firebreak, apparently no emergency. Ranger reports the landing, ranger turns up dead, plane turns up deserted. Whoever set the plane down had a good reason; didn't wait to share his secret with the ranger.
Officer Barney : On the other hand, it might be somethin' real simple... engine trouble.
Dan Mathews : Barney, the ranger didn't die of engine trouble.

Dan Mathews : You played your part real well, but you don't ad-lib so good.
Steve Wasson : W-What are you talking about?
Dan Mathews : Figure it out. When you and the Barlows saw me, they didn't know me from Adam. I coulda been here to collect the ransom, but you knew different. You were surprised. You were the one who told 'em to stay back, remember?
