Captain Roy Montgomery
- Captain Roy Montgomery: All the years I've been in command of the 12th Precinct, you know how many times the District Attorney has shown up? Once. Today.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: I need that package, Lou. The one Joe McUsic sent you. I know you didn't get rid of it. It's not your style, not the Louis Karnacki I know.
- Lou Karnacki: Word of advice, Roy. Just let this one pass you by.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: Did you know Lyla Addison was murdered by her brother?
- Lou Karnacki: First rule of being a lawyer is never ask a question you don't want an answer to.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: I guess it's good I'm not a lawyer.
- Lou Karnacki: Yeah, well, that's the problem with you cops. You live on the corner of black and white. But over here, on this side of the street, it's just gray.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: You just put an innocent man up for murder. What's gray about that, Lou?
- Lou Karnacki: Oh, come on! You're gonna sing "Kumbaya" for Otis Williams? Otis Williams, what, theft, uh, aggravated assault, attempted murder. That's just the stuff we got him on.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: But he didn't kill Lyla, Lou. He didn't kill her.
- Lou Karnacki: It's for the greater good, Roy.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: What, your run for the mayor's office?
- Lou Karnacki: Think of what I can do for this city when I'm elected. Now, it takes money to get there. And the Addisons are keeping the war chest well-stocked. It's just how it's played. You know that.
- [Montgomery reveals a wire under his tie]
- Lou Karnacki: Listen to me, Roy. Listen to me... Roy Montgomery, Police Commissioner. Now, when I am elected, I will appoint you. I promise. You have my word on that. Think of what we could do for this city. You gotta let this go. Please.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: Give me the package Joe McUsic sent you, and I'll put in a good word for you.
