• [Opening Narration. Barbara Webb spots Fred Johnson chatting with a fellow suspect in an outdoor police roundup, and quickly gets her camera] 

  Barbara Webb : You once said a reporter has to have a mind like a sponge. Remember the Richard Kimble case?

  Herb Malone : Oh, come on, Barbara, you don't want to get some poor guy in trouble for no reason.

  Barbara Webb : [to Fred Johnson]  Hey, mister, can you turn around this way?

  [Johnson turns toward Barbara and she snaps his photo, which later winds up on the front page of a newspaper held by Richard Kimble as he boards a bus] 

  Narrator : A Fugitive is usually a man without a goal, endlessly fleeing the Furies that pursue him. But for Richard Kimble, there is a goal, a phantom who has himself become a Fugitive. And Richard Kimble, in turn, now becomes the hunter.

  [We see another copy of the same newspaper with the same photo of Fred Johnson on the front passenger seat of a car - a car driven by Lt. Philip Gerard] 

  Narrator : But another hunter is also on the move.

• Dr. Kimble : I'm going to save him, even if I have to take your purse, your car keys, or whatever else I have to do.

  Barbara Webb : You're threatening me.

• Barbara Webb : Doctor Kimble asked him if he killed his wife and he nodded yes! I saw him!

  Lt. Gerard : Of course he nodded. He was afraid Kimble would stop helping him. But your problem is still this: either you tell me where to find Kimble or you go to jail.

  Herb Malone : Lieutenant, no matter how she feels now, she certainly wouldn't help Kimble originally unless he'd forced her!

  Barbara Webb : I could say that to a jury, they would probably believe me, but it is not true.

  Herb Malone : Barbara! Why didn't you write me, or phone?

  [Barbara gets out of her car and gives him a kiss] 

  Herb Malone : I'd have...

  Barbara Webb : You'd what? Baked a fatted calf? Marched on the brass bands?
