D.A. Paine
- District Attorney Tom Paine: [after a disastrously failed capture attempt of Skorzeny] Well, what are we gonna do?
- Carl Kolchak: [from the back of the room] *Now* are you willing to listen to my insane ideas?
- Sheriff Warren A. Butcher: [angrily] Kolchak, get out of here!
- District Attorney Tom Paine: Warren, hold it, hold it! Kolchak, you were there, weren't you?
- Carl Kolchak: Yes.
- District Attorney Tom Paine: Every man we've questioned insists not only that Skorzeny was possessed of incredible strength, but that he was shot more than once during the capture attempt.
- Carl Kolchak: [sarcastically] Oh, I'd say thirty or forty times.
- Police Chief Ed Masterson: I'm sorry, I'm not buying that.
- Carl Kolchak: Captain, you have two choices. Either he was shot, or your entire police department is blind.
- District Attorney Tom Paine: [sees Masterson getting angry] Ed, let's admit it. We had the man, had him cornered, and we couldn't hold him. Let Kolchak have his say.
