The Taking of Pelham One Two Three - 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: [to his driver]
Turn this thing around and burn rubber.

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three - 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.

King Kong - Questioning 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.
