Quotes 

• David Whitlock : [to God]  My Father in heaven, I humbly bow before you. I ask for your spirit to be with me. Forgive us, Father, for what we've done.

• Mike Rogers : [about Travis]  I searched the woods and... But he wasn't... There was nothing. They took him.

  Lieutenant Frank Watters : You expect me to believe that a flying saucer came down and took your friend away to outer space?

  David Whitlock : That's the truth, mister. That's exactly what happened.

  Lieutenant Frank Watters : Is it? Is it? According to your story, you never even went back to the clearing, so you don't know, do you?

  David Whitlock : I didn't have to go back. Mike Rogers says he wasn't there, and you can take it to the bank. And you know that, Blake. Why the heck aren't you speaking up for us? Why you letting this man talk to us like this?

• Buck : You got something you wanna say to me?

  Mike Rogers : Go sit down, Buck.

  Buck : You boys wanna remedy this, we can step outside right now.

  David Whitlock : [jumps up from his seat]  You got kiddin' me, you fat piece of shit!

• Allan Dallis : [to Mike]  You know, they don't need a body to press murder charges. Did you know that?

  [turns to Dave] 

  Allan Dallis : Did you know that, huh? And they ain't never gonna find Travis. And you know that and I know it, right? So then all the pressure's gonna be on Davis and Watters to solve the case. And who do you think they're gonna zero in on, huh?

  [to Dave] 

  Allan Dallis : What, you, choirboy, huh? And God'll send a swarm of locusts down on them.

  [to Mike] 

  Allan Dallis : And you, uh, Mr. Pillar-of-the community. No, I don't think so. No, the question is, how long before you boys decide to save your lily-white asses and point the finger at me.

  David Whitlock : That's a load of crud.

  Allan Dallis : No, that's exactly the way it's gonna be!

  David Whitlock : [shouts over him]  That's a load!

• Allan Dallis : I heard what's been happening in that stupid little Mormon town of yours. I told you chuckleheads that story was never gonna work, didn't I?

  David Whitlock : Yeah, well, you know they took away our logging contract, Dallis? Do you know that, huh?

  Allan Dallis : Well, that figures. They're all a bunch of chickenshit assholes.

  Mike Rogers : Yeah, well, speaking of chickenshit, where you been?

  Allan Dallis : I've been around. You knew where to find me, didn't you, Mike?

  David Whitlock : Davis and Watters are looking for you, Dallis. They know about your criminal record. They know that you lied about how you hurt your hand. They know that you're full of it...

  Allan Dallis : Yeah, well, you're just full of information today, aren't you, choirboy.

  David Whitlock : Well, it don't make us look good went you don't show up.

  Allan Dallis : [starts to argue with him]  Well, that's too goddamn bad!

  David Whitlock : [shouts over him]  No it don't, Dallis! It don't!
