Quotes 

• Joe Parkson : Sure, I was in the hospital, but I didn't go crazy. I kept myself sane. You know how? I kept saying to myself: Joe, you're the only one alive that knows what he did. You're the one that's got to find him, Joe. I kept remembering. I kept thinking back to that prison camp. One of them lasted to the morning. By then, you couldn't tell his voice belonged to a man. He sounded like a dog that got hit by a truck and left him in the street.

• Joe Parkson : Just so there won't be no misunderstanding, tell him I'll be back!

  Edith Enley : If you are, the police will be here to meet you.

  Joe Parkson : You'd better check with your husband. I don't think he'd like that.
