• Kid : More coffee, sir?

  [notices paperwork] 

  Kid : Are you a collector?

  Carl Hanratty : Of what?

  Kid : Captives of the Cosmic Ray, The Big Freeze, Land of the Golden Giants. I've got em all.

  Carl Hanratty : What are you talking about?

  Kid : Barry Allen. The Flash.

  [walks away] 

  Carl Hanratty : Wait, kid, kid, kid. You mean like the comic book?

  Kid : Yeah, the comic book. When he's not The Flash. That's his name, Barry Allen.

  Carl Hanratty : Thank you.

  [cut to Carl using a payphone] 

  Carl Hanratty : Now get this: he reads comic books. Comic books! Barry Allen is The Flash!

  Tom Fox : Carl, slow down, slow down. I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

  Carl Hanratty : He's a kid. Our unsub is a kid. That's why we couldn't match his prints. That's why he doesn't have a record. Now, I want you to contact the NYPD for every all-points juvenile runaways in New York City. And don't forget the airports. He's been kiting checks all over the country.

  Tom Fox : But why New York?

  Carl Hanratty : The Yankees! He said something about the Yankees!

• Tom Fox : He doesn't have a passport.

  Carl Hanratty : For the last six months, he's gone to Harvard and Berkeley. I'm betting he can get a passport.

• Earl Amdursky : [while Carl is setting the trap for Frank at the Miami airport]  Why won't he just take a taxi to New York or Atlanta?

  Carl Hanratty : Because *I'm* not in New York. *I'm* not in Atlanta.
