The Fire Inside

A scream like that has its own sound, you know?  You hear it, and your
gut tells you right away that someone's dying.  You ever hear screams like
that, Detective?
  -- Angie 

You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Look, Nat, if, ah, you don't want to do this...
I'm fine, really.  I've dealt with worse.  How about you?  Death by
fire.
Yeah, it's my worst nightmare.
  -- Nick and Natalie

You know we might catch a break here.  Flame-thrower's a pretty
conspicuous piece of hardware.  It's not like, you know, somebody can
toddle around town without somebody seeing it.
  -- Schanke

Ah, Nick.  If this guy catches you before you catch him...
Yeah, I know.  We'll stay low. (to Schanke) Well?
  -- Natalie and Nick

Well, I'm really glad that I got this suit dry-cleaned.
  -- Schanke

Oh, you should have been with us, Nicholah, it was such a glorious night.
I find my own nourishment, thank you.
Why travel with us if you won't hunt?
I find security in numbers.
Perhaps you just dislike the solitude of your own thoughts.
  -- Janette, Nick and LaCroix

I'm feeling very, very vulnerable here, Nick.
Don't tell me you're afraid.
Hah!  Going into the bowels of the earth to get a homicidal maniac. Oh, 
yeah, no problem.
Well, it's not my idea of fun either.
  -- Schanke and Nick

Strange place to hang laundry.
Unless you live here.
  -- Schanke and Nick

Okay, according to this, this should open up to, ah, (*turns corner*) 
a dead end.
Oh, great.
Nice map.
  -- Nick and Schanke

Will you stop it?  Come one, we've got a lot of ground to cover.
  -- Nick

Good news is, backup could be here any minute.  The bad news is they
might have zigged when they should have zagged and they're in Albuquerque.
  -- Schanke

Maybe we should've left some, uh, bread crumbs...
  -- Schanke

Shh!  Someone's following us.  You take that one.
Where?  To the center of the earth?
Wherever it takes you.
  -- Nick and Schanke

Why were you following us?
I'm starved for entertainment.
Well there is plenty in juvenile court.  You just assaulted a cop.
I'm crushed.
  -- Schanke and Danny

You live down here?
No, I come here for the waters.
  -- Nick and Danny

What makes you think anyone down here cares about living?
  -- Danny

They're making a bid for freedom.
My heart bleeds.
  -- Janette and LaCroix

Others will come, they're being followed.  They're a danger to us.
They are outcasts.  Hunted as animals, like us.
They're expendable.  They are lunch.
  Janette, Nick and LaCroix

Geez, kid, isn't the word shower in your vocabulary?
I'm surprised "vocabulary" is in yours.
Ha, he's a comedian.  Stay downwind, smartmouth.
  -- Schanke and Danny

Have *you* ever handled one like this?
No, Captain.  I don't think that I can.
  -- Cohen and Natalie

So, my little friend, you got a name?
Yeah, "smartmouth", remember?
Ah, sarcasm.  I know it well.
  -- Schanke and Danny

Call me....Dragon.
Dragon.  Is that a first name or a last name?
Job description.
  -- Dragon and Nick

I'm cleaning up.  I'm an exterminator.  I'm the bug man.
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it, huh?
  -- Dragon and Nick

This is no way to live, kid.  No way to live.
Tell me about it.
  -- Schanke and Danny

Oh, man, I knew we shouldn't have split up.  Dammit, Nick, I *knew* we
shouldn't have split up.  Dammit!
You should take it easy, you know?  Go easy on the caffeine.  You're
getting all type A.
I've been telling him that for years.
  -- Schanke, Danny and Nick

This really matters to you, doesn't it?  And to him.  I mean, I can
tell it's not just your job.
No.  No it isn't.
How come?
Well you see, Danny, some people think that others are disposable.  You
live long enough, you find out nobody is. (*Nick stops walking*)
  -- Danny and Nick

The eensy weensy spider banged on the water spout.  Down came
the fire, burned the spider out.
  -- Dragon

The evidence suggested
that....Well, they thought maybe it was friendly fire.  My fire.  When I
returned to duty...God, I was so afraid.  You know the old saying, "Friends
close, enemies closer."  Fear is an enemy you can't ignore, because it's a
part of you.  Accept it, it makes you stronger.  Run from it and....
  -- Cohen

The only way out is to face your fears.  
  -- Nick

Thank you.  Whoever you are.  Whatever you are.
  -- Jonah

I'm still afraid.  But I don't think I'll ever get over that.  You
know, I'm proud of myself.  Just for having dealt with it.
Well, it's like they say.  If it doesn't kill you, it will make you
stronger.
Sort of like the fire.
  -- Natalie and Nick
