Rothko
- Harry Callahan: You know, you're crazy if you think you've heard the last of this guy. He's gonna kill again.
- District Attorney Rothko: How do you know?
- Harry Callahan: 'Cause he likes it.
- [Harry is getting a dressing-down for his most recent arrest]
- District Attorney Rothko: You're lucky I'm not indicting you for assault with intent to commit murder.
- Harry Callahan: What?
- District Attorney Rothko: Where the hell does it say that you've got a right to kick down doors, torture suspects, deny medical attention and legal counsel? Where have you been? Does Escobedo ring a bell? Miranda? I mean, you must have heard of the Fourth Amendment. What I'm saying is that man had rights.
- Harry Callahan: Well, I'm all broken up about that man's rights.
- Harry Callahan: Are you trying to tell me that ballistics can't match the bullet up to this rifle?
- District Attorney Rothko: It does not matter what ballistics can do. This rifle might make a nice souvenir. But it's inadmissible as evidence.
- Harry Callahan: And who says that?
- District Attorney Rothko: It's the law.
- Harry Callahan: Well, then the law is crazy.
