  [Leonard Stone has been apprehended by the Highway Patrol after he fled in a car with two female hostages, and is being taken back to the patrol car. Mathews stops at Ella Brewster's car, which Stone had been driving] 

  Chief Dan Mathews : Awright, ladies. You can get up now. You know, I wouldn't advise it again, but that key bit, that took a lotta nerve.

  Mrs. Ella Brewster : Well, if you'd seen him shoot that nice young man in cold blood...

  Chief Dan Mathews : Now just a minute, ladies. I don't know how you're gonna take this, but this 'nice young man' you're talking about, he committed two murders today.

  Mrs. Ella Brewster : [to Marie]  Why, imagine! We've been riding all day with a murderer. Wait till Walter and Cathy hear about this.

  Sgt. Ken Williams : [Approaches the car carrying a briefcase]  Here's part of the motive - counterfeit plates.

  [Takes money from the briefcase] 

  Sgt. Ken Williams : This stuff looks real.

  Leonard Stone : It is real - twenty thousand dollars - and it belongs to me.

  Chief Dan Mathews : You hear that, ladies? Take a look. Twenty thousand dollars. He's not gonna be able to spend a nickle of it.

  [to Stone] 

  Chief Dan Mathews : Awright, move.
