Tom Beck: How much?

Lloyd Gallagher: I don't know.

Tom Beck: You don't know? What did you do, steal it?

Lloyd Gallagher: Yeah.

Tom Beck: Oh, thank you. That is illuminating. That solves everything. Christ, Miller doesn't have a chance. Hey, why would he come in here and kill a guy for a lousy hundred bucks and a radio?

Lloyd Gallagher: Because he likes it. He sees something he wants, he steals it. If something gets in his way, he kills it. And right now, he's hiding out in your city.

Tom Beck: I want to ask you if I'm crazy, or does this seem just a little bizarre?

Tom Beck: I'll cover you.

Lloyd Gallagher: I'd be safer if you didn't.

Lloyd Gallagher: I need you to cover me.

Tom Beck: Fine. I'll cover you.

Lt. John Masterson: Alhague, how do you like being human?

Lt. John Masterson: Alhague!

Lloyd Gallagher: Yes?

Lt. John Masterson: Before I kill you, I'm curious: how did you find me?

Lloyd Gallagher: You left an angry partner for dead on Altair.

Lt. John Masterson: A mistake.

Lloyd Gallagher: That's what it said.
