• [Sam tells Tom and Edie who Mr. Fogarty and his men are] 

  Sheriff Sam Carney : Charles Roarke, Philadelphia. Indicted on three counts of murder. Frank Mulligan, out of New York, indicted on one count of murder. Questioned in relation to dozens of acts of violence that you don't want to hear about. Both men work for Carl Fogarty. That's the fella with the eye. He spent 15 years in prison on several counts of assault. He's suspected in half a dozen murders, and more disappearances. Tom, these guys are organized crime from the East Coast. Now, they're the real thing. They're bad men. I have to ask you a question...

  Edie Stall : Jesus. Jesus, honey.

  Sheriff Sam Carney : I have to ask you a question. Are you in some kind of witness protection plan?

  Sheriff Sam Carney : What business did you have at Stall's diner today?

  Carl Fogarty : We heard the coffee was terrific.

  Sheriff Sam Carney : Let me make something clear to you and... Mr. Mulligan.

  Carl Fogarty : Uh-huh?

  Sheriff Sam Carney : This is a nice town. We have nice people here. We take care of our nice people. Do you understand?

  Carl Fogarty : Yeah, sure.
