• Al Roberts : [as narrator after thumbing a ride]  I guess at least an hour passed before I noticed those deep scratches on his right hand. They were wicked, three puffy red lines about a quarter inch apart. He must have seen me looking at them because he said...

  Charles Haskell Jr. : Beauties, arent they? They're gonna be scars someday. What an animal!

  Al Roberts : Whatever it was, it must have been pretty big and vicious to have done that!

  Charles Haskell Jr. : Right on both counts, New York! I was tussling with the most dangerous animal in the world - a woman!
