- Betty Jo Unger: According to him, the whole world's on the road to perdition and I'm leading the parade.
- Dr. Richard Kimble: You think running away will help?
- Betty Jo Unger: My father already thinks I'm no good; why should I disappoint him?
- Betty Jo Unger: I hope you give them a good race, Sam. Whoever you're running from. Me, I'm out of condition.

- Narrator: How do you measure the difference in thieves - by the amount stolen? In the conscience of Dr. Richard Kimble, there is little difference between the thief on the train and himself. It will be a long time before he forgets that face.
- Narrator: [Closing Narration. Viewers see Richard Kimble on a passenger train, handing a ticket to the conductor] Some people run for exercise, some are professionals chasing a record, and still others must run to live. Theirs is the longest race - if they can last until tomorrow, their reward is one more day of running.

- Truck driver: Oh... come on, get in.
- Chief Bill Kress: [after Glen slams down a box, the Chief chuckles] Town isn't paying you to break up their equipment. Well, get in your car. Go follow him.

- Chief Bill Kress: Well now one of them is wearing Roy T. Unger's sweater, but you use your own judgment, Glen.
