- Everett Jones: Alright, boys, you've done your job. Now if you don't mind I've got more important things to do.
- Officer Pete Malloy: [after Jones enters his house and as Malloy leaves just starts to leave with Reed] Let's get outta here.
- Officer Jim Reed: [to Mr. Walters outside, he who's raking leaves] Give us a call if it gets loud again.
- Officer Jim Reed: [to Malloy] Jones kinda got to you, didn't he?
- Officer Pete Malloy: Well, that I am a citizen routine gets a little thick after a while. They never seem to get it through their heads that we're citizens, too.
- Officer Jim Reed: [next scene as Malloy and Reed are driving in the cruiser] Hey, relax. You look uptight.
- Officer Pete Malloy: No, not really. I was just thinking about what Mr. Walters said about Jones. You know, the way he was before his wife died. How something like that can change a person. His wife gone, no children. Some people just can't take being alone.
- Officer Jim Reed: You sound like you're sorry for him.
- Officer Pete Malloy: No, just trying to understand him. Mad doesn't solve anything.
- Officer Jim Reed: You're something else, Pete.
- Officer Pete Malloy: You can bet those kids are playing him for a sucker.
- Dispatcher: One Adam twelve, one Adam twelve, a four-fifteen fight at the drive-in. Marshall and Fifth. Code two.
- Officer Jim Reed: One Adam twelve, Roger.
