Charlie: [after listening to Super Soul's broadcast] Did you hear that? Collins: Yeah. Charlie: Where the hell he get so much information? Collins: Same place as you do, Charley. Charlie: You mean from our own frequency? Collins: That's right. Charlie: How long's he been at it? Collins: Year 'n a half, maybe two. Charlie: Hell, that's against the law! Collins: So's carryin' a transistor on duty. Charlie: Hey, come on now, that's different. Collins: But he never says anything to incriminate himself. Brains 'n lawyers, Charley. As far as the law's concerned, he's clean as Kleenex.

Colorado State HP Officer: Nevada, this is Colorado State Highway Patrol. This is about a special query raised by the Utah Highway Patrol. - Affirmative, that's correct, but later they asked that the information be forwarded to you guys, so get ready for some details. Put on your tape recorders and all that sort of jazz, huh? Apparently this speed maniac you've been chasing all over your territory is a former professional road racer named Kowalski, K-O-W-A-L-S-K-I, repeat Kowalski. First name unknown, other particulars also unknown. All we do know is that he's employed as a car delivery driver by an agency in Denver. He's presently driving a Dodge Challenger, Colorado licence plate OA-5599. This is not a stolen car; he's driving it to San Francisco for delivery due Monday. Nevada State HP Officer: It's only Saturday, what's his hurry? Colorado State HP Officer: That's what we wanted to know ourselves, so your guess is as good as ours. 10-4.
