- Ed Lane: Where's your brother?
- Kevin Pearce: Where's my lawyer?
- Sam Braddock: Does Cory have your car?
- Kevin Pearce: Man, you can fish all you want, I ain't gonna bite.
- Gregory Parker: We've got a kidnapping victim that is still missing. He's snatched and he's beaten by his own teammates. I want to know why. Did he tank a game? Did he steal someone's girlfriend?
- Gregory Parker: [sees Carlton on the school's roof] High School basketball star, abducted and assaulted by his own teammates.
- Sam Braddock: Now he's a jumper. Kid's had a really bad night.
- Ed Lane: Let's get Carlton's mother down here. I want her to paint a picture of every single stress that he is under. I don't care if he ran out of toothpaste, the boss needs to know it.
- Jules Callaghan: [on radio after interviewing basketball players] Okay, the attacks are definitely top-down. It's systemic and not quietly sanctioned. Coach Wellstead ordered the attack. He told them how.
- Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth: [outside - turns and speaks to Ed] Go get him.
- Doug Saunders: Every year he - he bonds the team by turning on the weak or guys that are too strong, guys like Carlton. And you people turn a blind eye because he gets results. For years, this place has been sacrificing kids for victories. Two decades.
- Mrs. McKecknie: That's not true. Basketball is out of my sphere.
- Ed Lane: Ma'am, if you are in charge, this is your sphere!
- Gregory Parker: A team run on fear is not a team. My teammate Sam, down below us... Hey, Sam, come up here. I trust my life in his hands.
- Sam Braddock: [Sam climbs onto roof] Hey, Carlton. I'm just gonna hang out here, okay?
- Gregory Parker: What, you think I'm doing this all by myself? Sam's got my back. In fact, if you step back a little bit and look down there, you see that - that guy with the binoculars? You see him? That's Wordy. I'm looking after you, Sam's looking after me, and Wordy's got all our backs.
- Gregory Parker: You're going to get that scholarship, but you're on two separate teams right now, Carlton, and the poisoned basketball team you got to walk away from. Your mother, your sister, and Cory, too - that's your other team. That's long-term. Nobody's going to cut you from that squad.
- Ed Lane: Okay, school's canceled. Let's keep the perimeter tight, let's keep the gawkers moving, and let's lock this building down, please.
- Ed Lane: Subjects are in the southwest corner, out of line of the door.
- Mike Scarlatti: That's good, 'cause it's gonna be a big bang and it's blowing inward.
