Movie quotes

  • (..) Catch me up. We're working in shifts. Got two outside her motel. The others are either out searchin' or sleepin' here. I met the county sheriff, but he wasn't much help. Said they handle their own business. But I got two of his people on payroll and a person inside at the state police. (..)
