  Harry Orwell : I never heard of Walter... Blanke? Never heard of him.

• Harry Orwell : [Sees Lt. Trench and Sgt. Roberts checking out his car tires]  If you're going to a swap meet, you're not going to get much for my hubcaps.

  Lt. K.C. Trench : The tires are the same, Orwell.

  Harry Orwell : That's what you get when you buy four at a time.

  Lt. K.C. Trench : When did you repair the right rear?

  Harry Orwell : Four days ago, maybe it was three days ago. Why?

  Lt. K.C. Trench : The tread and the puncture mark are identical to an imprint we found at the landfill.

  Harry Orwell : That's exciting.

  Lt. K.C. Trench : Orwell, I think you should know certain unsettling facts are arranging themselves in your proximity.

• Spencer Johnson : Lieutenant, he's not in some kind of trouble, is he?

  Lt. K.C. Trench : Spence, where Orwell is concerned, there is always that possibility.
