  Billy Williams : You saw Eli Rocque? Heading for Whitefish Falls?

  Pete Gawa : Looked that way. Maybe we ought to tell your Mom.

  Billy Williams : Aw, I don't know. I gotta figure this thing out.

  Pete Gawa : Why? She has to know.

  Billy Williams : Look, Pete. Eli Rocque disappeared with my father on that plane into the bush. That was almost two years ago. Now you tell me you just saw Eli. You know what that means? If he's still alive, well maybe my father is. Pete, are you sure it was him?

  Pete Gawa : I'm sure, Billy. If it wasn't Eli, it has to be his ghost.
