Quotes2

  • Lt. Ted Wilks: You have any doubt Duncan killed himself?
  • Dave Bannion: No, none at all, but I just got back from the county morgue.
  • Lt. Ted Wilks: You mean the barfly? I read the teletype about your identification.
  • Dave Bannion: Lucy Chapman used to be Duncan's girlfriend.
  • Lt. Ted Wilks: And the army's and navy's.
  • Lt. Ted Wilks: It was bad judgment to bother a cop's widow about the love life of her husband.
  • Dave Bannion: Good or bad, it was my judgment.
  • Lt. Ted Wilks: You're missing the point. I'm the one that gets the pressure calls from upstairs. I'm the one that has to explain. You don't keep an office like this very long stepping on a lot of corns.
  • Dave Bannion: You want me to go upstairs and explain?
  • Lt. Ted Wilks: Not you. You're a corn stepper by instinct.
