1. We learn that Corey is a detective, and an assistant to an FBI agent named Kate. He's also very sarcastic. I assume his wife is Kate, who is generally more friendly than he is.
2. I actually really like the dialogue, because it fits the story well. It makes it seem more like an interrogation. Two parts that stood out were "'Where the hell are we?' 'In Gods' country.' 'Good. I have a few questions to ask him,'" and "'This has to do with the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. Keep that too yourself,' ... 'The Winter Olympics were in 1980,' ... 'Damn, we're too late!'"
3. One rule of dialogue seems to be keep dialogue attribution to a minimum, because that trend stays throughout the book. Another is to start a new paragraph every time someone new is speaking, which is done in the passage. The other rule that is apparent is that punctuation that pertains to what is being said belongs in the quotations.
4. DeMille puts the reader in the scene by describing the characters' mannerisms as well as the hustle-and-bustle of the small airport. The fact that the narrator is very sarcastic also makes it seem more realistic.
