- Julie Barnes: [Discussing Captain Greer's disappearance] There must be something we can do.
- Chief Barney Metcalf: Not this time. It's not your problem.
- Linc Hayes: How do you tell a chief he's so wrong?
- Linc Hayes: [Driving through the desert] Man, I've never seen anything like it before. Miles and miles of just plain nothin'. It's funny; I expect to see a lifeguard.
- Pete Cochran: What?
- Linc Hayes: City dude's logic. This much sand? It's just gotta lead to a beach. I'll let you in on a secret. In my whole life I've never been this far away from concrete. It's kinda different.
- Linc Hayes: You don't think he bought the cover?
- Pete Cochran: It's hard to tell, but I didn't buy his. Jennings, the cook, the nervous brother...
- Linc Hayes: The jive grease monkey.
- Pete Cochran: It's an uptight town, man. They're hiding something.
- Linc Hayes: And if you're right about the hat, the captain's in the middle of it.
