• Jack McCall : The state got me into this mess.

  Dan Mathews : That's where you're wrong. You got yourself into it a long time ago.

• [last lines] 

  Jack McCall : You mind if I say something?

  Dan Mathews : No. Go right ahead.

  Jack McCall : I think you'll want to know this. When I go in, I'm gonna talk, lay it on the line.

  Dan Mathews : Why the change of heart?

  Jack McCall : Oh, I don't know whether it's out of gratitude for what you've done or respect for what you've done.

  Dan Mathews : Respect - that's a pretty nice word. After you talk to the grand jury, maybe you'll have more self-respect. You know, I gotta admit it: I'm very happy that you're gonna talk.

  Jack McCall : Why?

  Jack McCall : I wanna be proud that I kept you alive, that's all. Get in.

• Dan Mathews : Highway Patrol headquarters, this is Mathews. Put a tail on Pete Roberts. He's been out of the pen about two months... What? Occupation? He never had one he could mention.

• Dan Mathews : Jimmy Wilson's in the hospital. He's hurt bad. Hope nobody else gets hurt because you won't help.
