Chief Biggs
- John Cutter: I'm the good guy, I'm the head of security.
- Chief Biggs: In my position what would you do? If you were me what would you do?
- John Cutter: Kill myself.
- John Cutter: Look chief, I thought all of you ham hogging, country biscuit eating boys knew how to drive? Was it a bunch of bullshit or what?
- Chief Biggs: I haven't had a challenge like that since I was in high school!
- John Cutter: Chief, I didn't know you went to high school?
- Chief Biggs: [Talking on the aircraft radio] This is Chief Leonard Biggs, Lake Lucille Police Department. Now if you tell me what you want, I'll tell you what I can deliver.
- Charles Rane: I want this plane fully fueled. If I do not see a fuel truck in position and functioning in the next five minutes, you will be responsible for a great many deaths.
- Chief Biggs: I'm not fully authorized to grant any demands at this time.
- Charles Rane: I suggest you look out your window toward the plane just in front of the landing gear.
- [Biggs looks out the window and sees Forget drop the dead body of Captain Whitehurst off the plane]
- Charles Rane: I've just executed five passengers. I will execute five more every three minutes until you find someone who is authorized to meet my demands.
- Chief Biggs: Look, I want to help but how do I know you won't kill the rest of those passengers once I get you what you want?
- Charles Rane: Get the truck near the plane. As soon as the fuel begins to flow, I will release half the passengers. You will be responsible for saving a hundred lives all by yourself.
- Chief Biggs: Look, I'll make some calls.
- Charles Rane: While you're on the phone, I will be killing another group of passengers. Let me know when I should stop.
- Chief Biggs: Now wait, wait...
- Charles Rane: Do we have an agreement?
- Chief Biggs: Fuel's on its way.
- Charles Rane: Check and mate.
