Clark : Mabel? Well, he wants missing persons. That's a whole other form.

Sheriff Niebold : Somebody please shut the goddamn door.

Sheriff Niebold : [annoyed] Put it down.
Dolores Westerby : [impatiently] Okay, sheriff, where are they?
Sheriff Niebold : Now, I know you're worried because I am, too. My kid is out there, too. Now, what they're doing is showing off to each other. Now, this is not a theft, it's just an...

Sheriff Niebold : Now, look, when those kids took that car...
