- Mark Harris: Murder is something humans do so casually, C.W. It makes me feel... sad and sorry.
- C.W. Crawford: Most of us feel that way, Mark, believe me.
- Charlene Baker: [to Mark] Oh, we're gonna put you on tonight as eh...
- Moxie: The Water Breathing Man, what else?
- Charlene Baker: No, what we got here is... The Man from Atlantis!
- Moxie: How much do you owe the boys?
- Mark Harris: These are not boys, Moxie, they are men.
- Moxie: That much?
- Moxie: Do you realize how long you were down there without coming up for air?
- Mark Harris: I was busy. His leg was caught on a lot of wire.
- Moxie: Well me and my pal the Electrical Man, we were watching you, and...
- Mark Harris: Who?
- Moxie: Arthur Summersday, the Electrical Man. Sticks bulbs in his mouth and they light up. He's a sophisticated guy. But you've proven that neither of us has seen everything after all.
- Mark Harris: When a woman touches her lips to your lips, that is a kiss. That means she likes you, does it not? I felt funny, C.W., but nice. Very nice.
- C.W. Crawford: [sighs] He wants to know about the birds and the bees...
- Mark Harris: Oh no, C.W. I would like to know about men and women.
- Mark Harris: Last night all I could think of was me and what had happened, to the point that I did not remember our planned meeting. And this morning I act defensively when you justifiably point it out to me. It occurs to me that I was and continuing to be quite selfish. It is not right and I apologize.
- Mark Harris: You are telling me he thought I was with the government?
- Moxie: Well, this is an official lookin' seal for someone supposed to be out of work.
- Mark Harris: Why did he not ask me first?
- Moxie: Well eh, he's impetuous and I think that electricity is kinda doing something to his bean. I'm asking ya.
- Mark Harris: They offered my money to examine me.
- Moxie: According to this...
- Mark Harris: Two hundred dollars. I believe the expression is 'Take the money and run'? Break a foot.
