Dialogue

 * [Rughead is horrified that the mysterious black car destroyed Packard's garage]
 * Sheriff Loomis: Kind of a mess now, don't you think?
 * Rughead: The Gutterboy and Skank... They were... they were right there. And it's like they vaporized! They were adiosed by the kid in the turbo. I warned 'em! I warned 'em!
 * Loomis: What are you trying to say, boy?
 * Rughead: [coughs] That Skank and Gutterboy were in there when the place blew. [cries] I know it seems impossible. I didn't know they had a kid in the car. I didn't know it was Jamie Hankins till he came up missing.
 * Loomis: So, what you're telling me is that Packard and the others killed Jamie Hankins?
 * Rughead: Jamie Hankins was here the other night with a shotgun!
 * Loomis: A dead kid with a shotgun?
 * Rughead: I seen his eyes, Loomis. I seen his eyes... And I got a real bad feeling.
 * Loomis: Bad feelings don't add up to resurrections, buddy. If it was Jamie Hankins, why'd they kill him off in the first place?
 * Rughead: I've been too scared to say nothin'. Packard hated Jamie. Packard hates everybody. He hates me. I don't wanna get killed over something I had nothing to do with. Not now.
 * Loomis: You go on home now and... You stay there till you hear from me, eh?


 * [Jake has just dropped off Keri at her house, not knowing that Packard is staking her out]
 * Keri Johnson: [having kissed Jake] Look Jake, Packard knew I was here with you... I mean, people are afraid of him for a reason.
 * Jake Kesey: People are afraid because guys like Packard prey on fear and weakness.
 * Keri: Well, I just think he's crazy. Try and be brave against Packard, and he might kill you.
 * Jake: Or he might let you go. Courage isn't easy to come by. Besides, he keeps those goons with him all the time. They're just scared.
 * Keri: So am I.
 * Jake: Keri, listen. There's gonna come a time when you'll have to take a stand. That's when you'll free yourself of him. No sooner.
 * Keri: I want to believe you. I really do. Good night.
 * Jake: Hey, Keri. There's a place in the Willow River [Keri laughs] Probably want to go up there with me tomorrow...
 * Keri: You like living dangerously, don't you?
 * Jake: You wanna go?
 * Keri: Yes, I do.
 * Jake: Good night.
 * Keri: Night.
 * [Jake drives off with Packard tailing him, but when Jake enters a dark area of the street]
 * Packard: [stops the car as he sees the lights of the motorcycle suddenly split off] No way!


 * [having revealed his true identity to Keri and eliminated Packard, Jake goes to Big Kay's Burgers, where Billy is cleaning up before closing for the night]
 * Billy Hankins: [prepares to strike with baseball bat] Come on, Packard!
 * Jake Kesey: Relax.
 * Billy: You scared me, man!
 * Jake: I'm sorry, man.
 * Billy: It's been a heavy day already. [sets bat aside]
 * Jake: I can see that. It's time for me to hit the road. My business here is finished. Before I do, I want you to have something. [gives keys to Billy] She's yours now.
 * Billy: Who's mine?
 * Jake: [walks to the door] It's outside. Turbo Interceptor. The only one in existence. Does very special things. Take care of it, will you?
 * Billy: [as Jake opens door] Who are you, bro?
 * Jake: You said it, Billy. [Billy is curious] I gotta go.
 * Billy: [chases him out] Hey, man, wait a minute! Where you going? Where you going?!
 * Jake: Hey Billy, the instructions are in the glove compartment! [rides off]
 * Billy: [runs out] Wait a minute! Come back! Come back, bro! [walks back and sees the Turbo Interceptor] Whoa. Ha ha! Whoa! Hey, man, far out. [calls out] Hey, Jake, who are you? [an idea suddenly hits him] It couldn't have been... [gets emotional] Jake...Jake... JAMIE!!!!
