Episode Quotes

Officer Brown: How can anyone break out of a prison like that?
Chief Dan Mathews: Anyone can't - Neal did. Neal usually gets what he wants. He had nothin' to concentrate on 24 hours a day but escape.
Narrator: Whenever the laws of any state are broken or when the welfare of its citizens is endangered, each state has a duly authorized organization that swings into action. It may be called the state militia or the state police or the highway patrol. These are the stories of the men whose training, skill and courage have enforced and preserved out state laws.
Ralph Neal: Okay, copper, unless you want to see this innocent bystander shot, you'll throw out that gun and the keys to that patrol car.
Chief Dan Mathews: No, Neal, you won't shoot him. He's your shield and dead weight doesn't make a good shield.
