Al Roberts: [as narrator after thumbing a ride] I guess at least an hour past before I noticed those deep scratches on his right hand. They were wicked, three puffy red lines about a quarter inch apart. He must have seen me looking at them because he said...

Al Roberts: She must've been Tarzan's mate! Looks like you lost the bout!
Charles Haskell Jr.: Certainly wasn't a draw! You know, there oughta be a law against dames with claws!
