- Kitty Evans: What's that for? Don't you trust me?
- Ray Malone: Oh, sure, Kitty, but I gotta beat it, see--quick! I can't wait to see anybody. A federal dick just recognized me. I pushed him over. He hit his head, killed him! No fooling this time. Aw, I didn't mean to do it, but if those government dicks get me, I had to get this rod.
- Kitty Evans: Ray, I thought you were...
- Ray Malone: Croaked, huh? Yeah, yeah, I wrote Dan to tell the Old Lady that. You see, I was in a stick-up that got me five years. But I just found out some dick I thought I'd killed here didn't die. I just heard about it! So I didn't feel so bad then, and another guy and I lammed away from a couple of hicks that was taking us to the pen and came east. Nearly tore my hand off getting rid of that bracelet.
