Det. Billy Rosewood
- Detective Rosewood: Wow. You know, it says here that by the time the average American is fifty, he's got five pounds of undigested red meat in his bowels.
- Sergeant Taggart: Why are you telling me this? What makes you think I have any interest in that at all?
- Detective Rosewood: Well, you eat a lot of red meat.
- Detective Rosewood: Police! You're all under arrest!
- [Armed thugs answer with a long hail of machine gun fire]
- Sergeant Taggart: You do that again, I'll shoot you myself!
- Police Chief Hubbard: Is this the gentleman who crashed through Victor Maitland's window? Who disabled an unmarked unit with a banana?
- Lieutenant Bogomil: Yes, sir.
- Police Chief Hubbard: Who lured Taggart and Rosemont into a gross dereliction of duty at a strip-tease establishment?
- Detective Rosewood: Uh, it's Rosewood, sir.
- Lieutenant Bogomil: Yes, sir.
- Police Chief Hubbard: Is this the gentleman who ruined the buffet at the Harrow club this morning?
- Lieutenant Bogomil: Yes, sir.
- Police Chief Hubbard: I just bet that you are the pride of your department in Detroit. Lieutenant, I'd like to see you in your office.
- Lieutenant Bogomil: Yes, sir.
- Axel Foley: [mocking Hubbard] Is this the man who... wrecked the buffet at the Harrow club this morning?
- Sergeant Taggart: Lower your voice, for Christ's sake!
- Axel Foley: What, can the guy hear me through the wall?
- Detective Rosewood, Sergeant Taggart: Yes, he can.
- [Detectives Foster and McCabe nod in agreement]
- Detective Rosewood: You know what I keep thinking about? You know the end of Butch Cassidy? Redford and Newman are almost out of ammunition, and the whole Bolivian army is out- out in front of this little hut?
- Sergeant Taggart: Billy, I'm gonna make you pay for this.
- Sergeant Taggart: Why didn't you identify yourself as a police officer when you were arrested?
- Axel Foley: 'Cause I was mindin' my own business. Hey, where the fuck do you guys get off on arresting somebody for getting thrown out of a window?
- Sergeant Taggart: We have six witnesses that say you broke in and started tearing up the place, then jumped out the window!
- Axel Foley: And you guys believe that? What the fuck are you, cops or doormen?
- Sergeant Taggart: We're more likely to believe an important local businessman than a foul-mouthed jerk from out of town.
- Axel Foley: Foul-mouthed?
- [Taggart nods]
- Axel Foley: Fuck you, man.
- Detective Rosewood: [Taggart stands up and draws himself to full height] Hey, Sarge...
- Sergeant Taggart: You watch your mouth.
- Axel Foley: [standing] Hey, man, don't square off on me with some bullshit.
- [shoves Taggart]
- Axel Foley: You wanna start some static?
- Sergeant Taggart: Hey, don't push me!
- Axel Foley: [shoves Taggart again] Fuck you, man!
- [Taggart delivers hard blow to Axel's stomach... Axel doubles over in pain]
- Lieutenant Bogomil: [witnessing from his office] Taggart!
- Sergeant Taggart: Yes, sir.
- Lieutenant Bogomil: Come here.
- [Taggart enters Bogomil's office, both emerge a minute later]
- Sergeant Taggart: Sir... I apologize for striking you. I have no excuse.
- Axel Foley: [bemused] Forget about it.
- [Rosewood and Taggart are staking out Axel Foley in an upscale hotel. Axel has just had dinner delivered to their car outside]
- Detective Rosewood: How did he know we were here?
- Sergeant Taggart: I let you drive.
- Axel Foley: [in strip club with "Nasty Girl" playing in background]

- Axel Foley: [grabs shotgun, it discharges into ceiling, he elbows shooter in face twice and flips him to ground, pointing and cocking shotgun in his face]
- Sergeant Taggart: [points pistol into 2nd shooters face] Police, move and I'll kill you!
- Detective Rosewood: [runs up pointing pistol at shooter] Don't move, rollover!
- Axel Foley: Way to go, Rosewood, you're some kinda cop, you know that!
- Detective Rosewood: All he asked me to do was drive you out of town. Now I'm gonna screw that up, too.
- [being shot at]
- Sergeant Taggart: Jesus Christ!
- Axel Foley: Yeah, these guys are serious.
- Detective Rosewood: I hate machine guns!
- Detective Rosewood: Sir, if you'll please follow me?
- Axel Foley: You know, I will say this, you guys are extremely polite.
- [slaps his belly]
- Axel Foley: That's a pretty good punch you got there, Taggart.
- Detective Rosewood: Everything he said about Maitland is right. Now he's kidnapped a woman and he's got her in this house.
- Sergeant Taggart: Well, let's go in there and get her.
