Woody Harrelson credited as playing...
David Douglas Brown
- Dave Brown: [to Kyle Timkins] Bear in mind that I am not a racist. Fact is, I hate all people equally. And if it helps, I've slept with some of your people. You wanna be mad at someone, try J. Edgar Hoover. He was a racist. Or the Founding Fathers, all slave-owners.
- Dave Brown: Every shooting testimony contains inconsistencies. Otherwise you wouldn't have a job. No man whoever shoots and kills another man is entirely cogent in the moment. No plan survives contact with the enemy.
- Joan Confrey: Did you learn that with the first man you killed?
- Dave Brown: I learned that serving my country as a non-electric pop-up target in an often misunderstood crusade for liberty and justice, turned puppet-show for politicians, known as the Vietnam War.
- Dave Brown: You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
- Linda Fentress: [consternation smile]
- Dave Brown: In this bar.
- Dave Brown: [giving driving lessons] You aim for the shortest wetback and watch him skedaddle. Plow the dice and the Schlitz Malt Liquor cans. And hit your siren as well. Let's see what we got...
- [accelerates into pedestrians]
- Dave Brown: [screeches to a halt] You'll get the hang of it.
- Jane: Aren't you worried?
- Dave Brown: About?
- Jane: Getting a 1-28?
- Dave Brown: Okay, listen, this is the most important thing I've told you so far. Everything you learned at the academy - bullshit. Illegal is just a sick bird. Just a military occupation, kid. Emergency law. Alright, let's have some fun...
- Dave Brown: [to Kyle Timkins] I've been up the river, motherfucker, when you were still sucking on your mama's tit.
- LAPD Union Rep: Why do you still want to be a cop?
- Dave Brown: Because I'm a dutiful hard-charging motherfucker and I want to explicate the LAPD's somewhat hyperbolized misdeeds with true panache regardless of my alleged transgressions. Capiche?
- Dave Brown: You wanna cuddle later?
- Barbara: I have a boyfriend.
- Dave Brown: Cheat on him!
- Barbara: Like you cheat on your taxes?
