Sarah Bracknell: You're looking good. Johnny Smith: Yeah, it's called the coma diet - lose weight while you sleep.

Johnny Smith: I keep thinking about a line from a book. It's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"; the last thing I gave my class to read before... the accident. Ichabod Crane disappears.; the line goes: "As he was a bachelor, and in nobody's debt, nobody troubled their head about him anymore." Sarah Bracknell: Is that what you feel? Johnny Smith: That's what I want. It's what I want.

Sarah Bracknell: Please don't look at me like that. Johnny Smith: What am I gonna do? For you, five years have come and gone. For me, it's just about the next day. My feelings haven't changed yet. Sarah Bracknell: Oh, Johnny. Why did it have to happen like this? Johnny Smith: Bad luck.

Sheriff Bannerman: I guess I've come to you with what you could call a proposal, John. Uh, it has to do with these murders we've been having. The Castle Rock Killer. I'm sure you've heard of him. Johnny Smith: Sure. Sheriff Bannerman: I don't know whether it's true or not, uh, John, about these... psychic powers of yours. But if it is true, John, I could use your help. Herb Smith: John, maybe you should give him, uh... [he trails off seeing Johnny's look] Sheriff Bannerman: Take a minute to think about it. But bear in mind some decent young women from homes just like this met with terrible, terrible deaths. Now, I'm at my wits' end. I've exhausted about every conventional method of approach to this situation. I've come up with nothing. I feel you can help me, John. Johnny Smith: You made a mistake. Sheriff Bannerman: Mmm. I was sorry to hear about your mother's death, John, Mr. Smith. I understand she was a good woman. Christian woman. I'm not a religious man myself, I'm sorry to say.

Johnny Smith: How'd you find me? My father? Dr. Sam Weizak: I stopped off to see him, and he told me you moved to a new town. He's worried about you. And so am I. Johnny Smith: There's nothing to worry about. I'm taking care of myself. It's about time I started doing that. Dr. Sam Weizak: I'm still your doctor, John. You're still under my care. We have to stay in touch. Johnny Smith: Well... Dr. Sam Weizak: [indicating his gunshot wound] How's the, uh...? All healed up now? Johnny Smith: The bullet went right through me. It's nothing. Dr. Sam Weizak: Good. [He looks around] Nice place you have here. Johnny Smith: It's home... Let me show you something, Sam. [He displays a closet filled with letters and packages] My father passes these on to me. They're from people with lost family members, lost pets, lost friends, lost possessions... and lost lives. Dr. Sam Weizak: You haven't opened any of them. Johnny Smith: I don't need to. They all want the same things: reassurance, comfort, guidan
