“Most people, when they see something like this, their immediate reaction is to ask how could somebody do this and why. Even when we catch the killer, they want to know the how and why.”
Nick Nolte - Inspector Cray

“In movies or television, the killer always explains the how or why. He always has some reason, however crazy, with a mad gleam in his eye. But I've interrogated murderers like this one before, and let me tell you, they are well beyond the need to justify what they do. They just do it.”
Nick Nolte - Inspector Cray

“- Samuel Gerard: Why did Richard Kimble kill his wife?
- Detective Kelly: He did it for the money.

Tommy Lee Jones - Samuel Gerard
Ron Dean - Detective Kelly

“- Detective Kelly: Financially, you're not going to be hurting after this, are you? I mean, she was worth quite a bit of money.
- Dr. Richard Kimble: Are you suggesting that I killed my wife? Are you saying that I crushed her skull and that I shot her? How dare you!”
Ron Dean - Detective Kelly
Harrison Ford - Dr. Richard Kimble
