"Me and he promised to love, honor and obey." "You didn't think I was his type did you?" "Not particularly." "Yeah, well, he wasn't always on crutches." "Before the accident he was quite a guy."

"You're wasting your time." "He's not going to pay any money for me." "I'm not important to him." "You'd better be." "Do you mean to say that I had a convicted murderer right here in my house?" "Yes, sir." "And in spite of that you expect my cooperation?" "I'm afraid we need it." "Well, the man's a killer." "Why should I help him?" "Because they may kill him if you don't, Mr. Pryor." "Well, that's not the point." "You only want to save him so you can execute him." "What difference does it make how he dies?" "Mike." "No, I mean it." "They want to put him in the electric chair or the gas chamber." "They're asking me to finance it." "Well, look at it this way, Mr. Pryor." "If the kidnapper escapes, he may try it again." "Next time he'll get an innocent victim." "How do I know it is a kidnapping?" "Maybe Kimble's behind the whole thing." "It's probably just a scheme to extort money." "Mike, we both know him."

"You know, a couple years ago," "I busted loose from the Signal Corps." "I was gonna knock the world on its tail." "I got hit by a truck, that's how this happened." "Do you know who owned that truck?" "Pryor." "Got a fleet of them all over the country." "It was an accident." "He wasn't driving." "I'm not finished." "When I came to in the hospital, a lawyer was standing over my bed with a piece of paper for me to sign." "He said they'd pay for the operation." "I didn't know any better so I signed it." "That took Pryor and his company off the hook." "How many operations did you have?" "Three and they didn't take." "Legally I couldn't get back at Pryor any more." "But I wrote him lots of letters and I asked him for work." "Anything: a janitor, elevator operator, and he didn't answer, not one of them." "That's when Irene got the smart idea to grab a hold of Pryor." "You had a raw deal." "But this isn't going to work." "So, what are you trying to tell me?" "I should let you go?" "So you can run to the cops." "I won't do that." "Sure." "I can't." "What do you mean, you can't?" "I'm in trouble." "If I go to the police, they'll arrest me." "You mean you got a record?" "Yeah, something like that." "It's a trick." "I don't know." "He don't talk like a gardener." "Let me walk out that door," "I'll be a hundred miles from here by the time it's dark." "You're not gonna listen to him, are you, Cheyney?" "Pryor owes me for a new pair of legs." "I'm gonna collect." "Why do we need another phone?" "Mr. McIntire here wants to keep a line open to his company." "That way we can try for a quick trace if the kidnapper calls again." "Stand by down there." "And don't go out for coffee." "I'm leaving this off the hook." "All set, lieutenant." "No promises, though." "Everybody's hedging their bets around here." "What, uh, what are the chances of getting him back, Mr. Warren?" "It's hard to say, Mrs. Pryor." "We're doing everything we can do." "Without your husband's help, I don't know." "Mr. McIntire, what exactly is the problem downtown?" "Well, there is no actual problem, sir." "It's just a matter of time and we can't guarantee that we can trace" "It's not the question of guarantee." "I think if this thing can be set up" "Mike, I want to talk to you." "Mm-hmm..." "Why can't you look at me?" "Are you ashamed?" "Ashamed?" "You should be." "You know, Mike, I've learned to live with your indifference to me, but you're allowing a decent man to die by ignoring him like this, by acting as if he doesn't exist." "Define "decent" for me, Laura." "You've seen a great deal more of Kimble than I have." "I've seen him doing your job with your son." "And whatever he's suffering now is in your place." ""In my place." Well, let's discuss that for a minute." "Mike, I'm just asking you to help the man." "I-I didn't ask him to suffer anything for me, or to take my place as a father... or anything else." "If you feel that we owe him some personal debt," "I wish you'd tell me why." "( dramatic theme playing )" "No." "No, Mike, I can't tell you why." "I can only tell you that" "That after 12 years... you suddenly turn my stomach." "Lieutenant... tell me what you want me to do."
