- Mitch Buchannon: [voice-over] Years on the beach have taught me to recognize a potential victim before they go in the water. You wanna stop them before they get in too deep. It's called making a prevention. But the second I saw her, I knew she wasn't the type I could prevent from doing anything.
- Mitch Buchannon: Can I do anything to help, Ryan?
- Ryan McBride: [in front of her overheated car, its hood open] Yeah, you can hail me a cab.
- Mitch Buchannon: [laughs] Hail you a cab? Uh, they don't cruise the waterfront for fares.
- Ryan McBride: Oh, that's right, I forgot. This is LA. Mass transit is a three-man boogie board.
- Mitch Buchannon: Right back where I started. You know I have been looking for you all night?
- Ryan McBride: All night? Really? I'm touched. Look, Mitch. Go back to your sunscreen and cut-offs. We shared some beautiful gunfire together, but I don't need a guardian angel, and I can't stand a worrier.
- Mitch Buchannon: [voice-over] There's not much difference between being a lifeguard and a private eye. Both have to deal with sharks. I drove Ryan to her motel, but the sharks had already ripped the place to shreds.
