Quotes: « Frank Abagnale Sr.: Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse. » « Carl Hanratty: [Frank is making one last attempt to run by impersonating a pilot once again. Carl catches up with him at Dulles Airport] How'd you do it, Frank? How'd you pass the bar in Louisiana? » « Frank Abagnale, Jr.: [Frank continues to walk. Carl walks several paces behind] What are you doing here? » « Carl Hanratty: Listen… » « Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I'm sorry I put you through all this. » « Carl Hanratty: You go back to Europe, you're gonna die in Perpignan Prison. You try to run here in the States, we'll send you back to Atlanta for 50 years. » « Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I know that. » « Carl Hanratty: I spent four years trying to arrange your release.
