• Jake Gittes : We're talkin' about oil here, right, Ty?

  Tyrone Otley : Obviously. Mr. Rawley believes there's oil under the subdivision. He's endangering hundreds of lives drilling under those homes, with all the seismic activity. He's whipstocking! Someone has got to stop him!

  Jake Gittes : Well, I can't do that, Ty. Nobody can. Guys like Rawley don't get arrested; they get streets named after them. In this type of situation, it's best just to leave it alone. Rawley's stealin' from Berman. It's a big thief stealin' from a little thief. Who are we to quarrel?

• Tyrone Otley : These earthquakes are shaking up our water wells like soda pop. Only it's not soda pop. Millions of gallons of water and gas under these homes. And it's gettin' hazardous.

  Jake Berman : What do you mean, hazardous?

  Tyrone Otley : It could explode.

  Jake Berman : You said it was marsh gas. I thought only natural gas was explosive.

  Tyrone Otley : Mr Berman, whether it comes from an old marsh or baked beans, all gas is natural. Gas is gas!
