John Sands: I haven't forgotten.

Gideon Patch: Well, now I'm on the end of a rope. You can haul me in or let me drown!

Gideon Patch: [after a long silence] Do I have to beg, Mr. Sands?

John Sands: Sentinel? I know people in Sentinel.

John Sands: Seems like nothing happens around here without your say-so.

Matt Garson: That's right.

John Sands: Tell me, what do you do when it rains?
