Quotes3

  • Detective Petersen: Looks like your fortune's run out.
  • Detective Lionel Fusco: Never did have very good luck. Turns out neither did Officer Miller. My friend killed him. My boy is fine.
  • Detective Petersen: Doesn't change your fate. I got a full mag. The only question is where to shoot first?
  • Detective Lionel Fusco: Ever kill someone, Petersen?
  • Detective Petersen: Not recently.
  • Detective Lionel Fusco: Can't take down a group of bent cops without having casualties. Someone was always gonna end up in a casket. Truth is, guys like you and me, we're all gonna catch a bullet sooner or later. Best you can hope for is someone to hold your hand while you bleed out.
  • Detective Petersen: Oh, that's sweet. You want me to hold your hand, Fusco? Oh, I forgot, we broke your fingers.
  • Detective Lionel Fusco: Yeah, you did. Which made it no big deal for me to break my thumb.
  • [Slips his hands out of his cuffs]
  • Officer Patrick Simmons: Petersen, surprised you dragged your ass out of bed.
  • Detective Petersen: I was told there was a chance to shoot people. Imagine my disappointment, suit's a no-show. Probably laying low. Doubt he's gonna stick his head out again.
  • Officer Patrick Simmons: Our pal stormed a judge's house. Subtle he ain't. He's hiding, all right, but you can bet it's in plain sight.
  • Detective Lionel Fusco: The hell am I?
  • Officer Patrick Simmons: Someplace no one will hear you scream, since you'll be doing a lot of that. Meet your new best friends.
  • Detective Lionel Fusco: Petersen, right? Always remember a pretty face.
  • Detective Petersen: [Holds up the key Carter gave Fusco] How about this? Look familiar?
  • Detective Lionel Fusco: You emptied my pockets. Think there's some lint in there too.
  • Officer Patrick Simmons: You're a funny guy, Fusco. Must have had your ex-partner in stitches. When's the last time you saw Carter?
  • Detective Lionel Fusco: I don't know. Let me check my day planner.
  • Officer Patrick Simmons: We know you met with Carter tonight. She handed you something, looked an awful lot like this. What does it open? See, Carter has information on our organization, hidden it somewhere. From the size and shape of this key, I'd say it opens up a safe deposit box.
  • Detective Lionel Fusco: It's my locker at the Y. You're welcome to my dirty jock.
