- Narrator: [Opening Narration. Viewers see Richard Kimble, carrying a suitcase, leave a phone booth in Washington, D.C., after failing to reach an author/attorney] A Fugitive, if he's innocent, is sustained by hope. It is more necessary to him than food or shelter. But paradoxically, the greater the promise of hope, the more agonizing it becomes.
- Narrator: [Epilog Closing Narration. Viewers see Richard Kimble board a city bus as he again escapes from the police] For Richard Kimble, a moment of safety ends and a long search must continue. For he knows the only true sanctuary lies in the elusive proof of his innocence.
- Alison Priestley: First of all I take the fastest shorthand this side of the Chesapeake; do my nails on my own time; and I'm not shopping for a husband.
- Dr. Richard Kimble: [Makes a wry face]
- Alison Priestley: You tell me something.
- Dr. Richard Kimble: [looks questioningly at her]
- Alison Priestley: Which of the above statements is false?
- Alison Priestley: I know it sounds silly but I took this job thinking I could be part of something important. You know, history in the making, that kind of nonsense.
- Dr. Richard Kimble: It's not nonsense.
- Alison Priestley: No? Well, right now I wish I were back in the Peace Corps translating "sincerely yours" into Swahili. I'm out of jokes, Charlie, what'll I do now?
- Dr. Richard Kimble: I don't know.
- Alison Priestley: I don't either. I'll think of something.
- Ambassador Unawa: [Glances at Dr. Kimble and Alison] Uh... you two go on. Mrs. Unawa and I have a small domestic matter to discuss. We'll join you directly.
- Alison Priestley: [Dr. Kimble and Allison walk towards the study and Allison looks at Kimble] How does it feel to be referred to as a small domestic matter?
- Alison Priestley: [after being dismissed by the ambassador, Alison has a parting remark for Dr. Kimble] My room's at the end of the hall. Bring cookies.
- Alison Priestley: [after Alison unlocks the embassy gates to let Dr. Kimble back inside, eluding pursuing policemen] The talk about Washington girls trying to get themselves a man... just talk.
- Alison Priestley: They pulled a man off the rear exit to cover the front.
- Dr. Richard Kimble: Well, it worked.
- Alison Priestley: My plans always work.
- [Dr. Kimble looks at her with raised eyebrows]
- Alison Priestley: Almost always.
- Dr. Richard Kimble: Gerard will be back any minute.
- Alison Priestley: You know, I was going to make you a lunch but we ran out of tapioca pudding.
- Dr. Richard Kimble: [Smiles] It's alright. I hate that.
- Alison Priestley: [Smiles back] Me too. You better be going.
- Dr. Richard Kimble: Yeah.
- Alison Priestley: [as Kimble walks away] Charlie? If you're ever passing through town...
- Davala Unawa: [speaking to Dr. Kimble about the ambassador] Every day he lives, every day he continues to serve the cause to which he has given his entire being. You will not deprive him of that privilege.
- Dr. Richard Kimble: Well, how can my presence here threaten that?
- Davala Unawa: Scandal at the diplomatic level, Doctor, is sudden death. Your presence here can do more than merely wreck a man's career. It could rewrite the course of history. I'm not unmoved by your plight, Dr. Kimble. I'm simply unable to accommodate it.
