Eddie Lomax: [Speaking very quickly] Whoo! That's my secretary. She is terrific. She's got a nutcase for a husband. He's a truck driver. He moved here to be close to Graceland. Reason why? He thinks he's Elvis. What do you think his name is? It's Elvis! Elvis Aaron Hemphill. I run across some strange things on this job. Some things you would never spray paint on an overpass.

Barry Abanks: [angrily] I lost my son! Don't you think I would have screamed bloody murder if I thought something was wrong?
Mitch McDeere: You're right, Mr. Abanks, I'm sorry. Okay? You're right. I'm sorry.
Barry Abanks:

Nothing to bury even. Just a stone. They never did find him or the other two.
Mitch McDeere: What other two?
Barry Abanks: The other two who split the charter. Your friends and two other guys.
Mitch McDeere: Lawyers?
Barry Abanks: They were in swimsuits, they paid cash.
Mitch

McDeere: Were they American?
Barry Abanks: Could have been anything. One was, I don't know, squat, heavy. The other guy had long blond hair, almost white, and weird blue eyes.
