Plot: Sheriff Owens is a man who has resigned himself to a life of fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction after leaving his LAPD post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with failure and defeat after his partner was crippled. After a spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy, the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the hemisphere is hurtling toward the border at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car with a hostage and a fierce army of gang members. He is headed, it turns out, straight for Summerton Junction, where the whole of U.S. law enforcement will have their last opportunity to make a stand and intercept him before he slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately accepts responsibility for the face off.

Plot: "Memory/Loss" begins with a phone call from a hospital to an unknown recipient to let her know that she is the emergency contact for someone who has just suffered a fatal accident. Immediately, the story jumps back in time to the beginning of a story of two girls, at the inception of their friendship. Their mothers are best friends, and they are fated to spend the summer together, like it or not, in the country. The story continues, switching between the growing up of two girls in the Midwest, and the sojourn of one of those girls, when, years later, the other dies unexpectedly. They go through childhood, teenage years, college, marriage, and divorce together, and enjoy the honest, deep friendship that so few are lucky enough to ever have, let alone have from such a young age and for such a long period. Eventually, the story is brought full circle, with both yarns tied intimately together throughout the whole film.

Ted Allison: I can't help feeling a sense of evil in all this.::Dr. Alfred Morris: Moral concepts? I'm a scientist. To me there is no good or evil, only true or false. Work with one; discard the other.

'Scoop' McClure: What kind of corpse do I make, Mr. Egan?::Egan (mortician): Very nice, very nice indeed... considering you have the disavantage of being alive. Now if I was preparing you...::'Scoop' McClure: Never mind. That;s one disadvantage I want to keep for a while.

Dr. Alfred Morris: [Responding to the corpse sitting up and pulling a gun on him] Reports of your death seem to be greatly exaggerated.

Dr. Alfred Morris: [Lecturing to his class] We have lethal gases which are usedfor a definite purpose... to kill. The poison gas of the natives had a definite purpose, but it not bring death though, but death in life, or, if you prefer, life in death.

Det. Garrity: Anyone in this town who gets into a cemetery tonight won't get out alive.

Dr. Alfred Morris: I could use an assistant. How'd you like to spend your vacation helping me with my experiments at home>::Ted Allison: Would I? Say, there isn't a fellow in class who wouldn't give a leg to work with you in the lab!::Dr. Alfred Morris: [Tongue in cheek] Oh, that's rather more than the privilege is worth.
