Quotes4

  • Mr. LaFontaine: I've been trying to think of a prayer but I'm coming up blank. It's been a long time. You got any?
  • Det. Joel Stevens: No. No I'm all out.
  • Mr. LaFontaine: How about you? Prayer?
  • Det. Bobby "Fearless" Smith: I don't have a prayer, but I do have a story.
  • Mr. LaFontaine: Ok.
  • Det. Bobby "Fearless" Smith: There was this wave way out in the ocean. He was just racing along having a great time. Sun light glinting, sparkling, just flying. Until one day he look ahead and he saw wave after wave in front of him crashing on the beach and he got scared. And this older wave in front of him said, "I know what your problem is. You've been having so much fun being a wave that you forgot you're just part of the ocean."
  • Mr. LaFontaine: I like that, part of the ocean... ok... river, take my grandson home.
  • Det. Bobby "Fearless" Smith: It's not understandable. Knowing this is being done to you by your fellow human beings is a betrayal of everything that is human.
  • Det. Joel Stevens: That's because it wasnt human. These guys crossed a line. I'd call them animals but animals wouldn't even do that.
  • Henry Stein: A killer comes into a man's house, a man's got the right to do whatever he wants.
  • Det. Joel Stevens: You do not have the right to execute him, sir.
  • Officer Ray Hechler: Sure he does. Do what you got to do, Mr. Stein.
  • Det. Joel Stevens: Shut up, Ray.
  • Officer Ray Hechler: The man's in his own home. This animal came here to butcher his family!
  • Det. Joel Stevens: Ray, SHUT UP!
  • [Interrogating a teenage murder suspect]
  • Det. Joel Stevens: You shot a SIX-YEAR-OLD! What is WRONG with you?
