- Joe Mannix: [entering a warehouse where Vance Logan is hiding with a gun] Vance! Vance!
- Vance Logan: Get out, Joe! Get back out there where you belong with the rest of the fuzz!
- Joe Mannix: What's wrong, Vance? I never heard you talk like that before in your life.
- [walks up a flight of stairs]
- Vance Logan: Stay down there, Joe! Or I'll kill you!
- Joe Mannix: You couldn't kill me, Vance. We've been friends too long.
- Vance Logan: I will, Joe! I swear! You're not getting me out of here alive!
- Joe Mannix: [reaches the same floor that Vance is on] What's got into you, Vance? All the police want to do is talk to you.
- Vance Logan: No way.
- Joe Mannix: I don't know what the trouble is, but I do know it's not big enough to make you use that gun. Look, even if you ran into somebody's car...
- Vance Logan: I did. I did. And I didn't stop because I'd had a couple of drinks. And I knew if the police took me down to the station, they'd lock me up and throw the key away.
- Joe Mannix: For a misdemeanor? You know better than that.
- Vance Logan: You know better, maybe. But not me. You got skin the right color.
- Joe Mannix: Come off it, Vance! I don't know what's turned you on. Why don't you get rid of that gun and walk out of here with me? Whatever it is, we can work it out together.
- Vance Logan: [cocks the gun in his hand] Stay right where you are, Joe. You take one more step, and you're dead!
- [turns to run down the stairs that Joe came up, and Joe runs after him]
