4 quotesQuestioning the Amount of Money Present
Joe Perko
OK, Boan, how much you got here?
Boan
About eighteen hundred.
Joe Perko
Eighteen hundred? What's going on?
Boan
There's Bagley.
Joe Parko
Hey, Mr. Bagley! Something haywire. They only loaded me enough pipe to push one test hole. Less than two thousand feet.
Roy Bagley
Yeah, that'll be enough.
Boan
Are you kidding? On Bagatan, we didn't come until we were past twenty-six thousand feet.
Roy Bagley
You take my word, fellas. This hole proves out within two thousand, or it's a write-off.

The Dead Man's Feature Explained
Inspector Daniels
Garber, I just had a terrible thought: suppose they're not on the train? What if they set the throttle and jumped off? While we're chasing the train, they're sneaking out of an emergency exit somewhere behind us.
Lt. Garber
Ingenious thought, sir, except for one thing: it's impossible.
Inspector Daniels
Why?
Lt. Garber
Little gizmo known as a dead man's feature. It was built into the controller handle in case a motorman should ever drop dead. The controller handle has to have a man's hand pressing down on it hard at all times. Otherwise, the thing don't work. The train stops cold.
Inspector Daniels
Uh-huh. I see.
Lt. Garber
Nice try, though.

Questioning Motives in Unexplained Actions
Lt. Garber
Inspector, that short move they made between 28th Street and 17th Street - why did they do that?
Inspector Daniels
I don't know.
Lt. Garber
Suppose they wanted to do something they didn't want anybody else to know about?
Inspector Daniels
Like what?
Lt. Garber
Like jumping off the train! Turn around, Inspector, we're going back to 17th Street.
Inspector Daniels
Like hell we are!
Lt. Garber
They are not on the train. I'm sure of it!
Inspector Daniels
Look, Garber, I suggested that in the first place and you shot me down. Something about a dead man's feature?
Lt. Garber
But they figured out how to beat that! That's their plan! That's what they started with!
Inspector Daniels
Turn this thing around and burn rubber.
