• Lionel Whitney : Terrific, terrific! You have any more terrific ideas?

  E.L. 'Tenspeed' Turner : Look, don't go climbing up my spine, hear?

  Lionel Whitney : I'm not angry.

  E.L. 'Tenspeed' Turner : All I was doing was trying to get us outta there. You try explaining to a bunch of airheaded cops what we were doing hunched over a body that wasn't even cold.
