Vince Vaughn credited as playing...
Anthony Lurasetti
- Brett Ridgeman: Is that a guy or a girl singin' that song?
- Anthony Lurasetti: Can't tell.
- Brett Ridgeman: Not that there's much of a difference these days.
- Anthony Lurasetti: I think that line was obliterated the day men started saying we're pregnant when their wives were.
- Lt. Calvert: Our inspector... our Mexican-American inspector... is unlikely to be lenient.
- Brett Ridgeman: Politics like always.
- Lt. Calvert: Like cell phones, and just as annoying, politics are everywhere. Being branded a racist in today's public forum is like being accused of being a communist in the 50s, whether its' a possibly racist remark made in a private phone call or the indelicate treatment of a minority who sells drugs to children. The entertainment industry, formerly known as the news, needs villains.
- Anthony Lurasetti: There's certainly nothing hypocritical about the media handling every perceived intolerance with complete and utter intolerance.
- Lt. Calvert: It's bullshit. But it's reality.
- Anthony Lurasetti: Best part of a stake out, other than when it ends is when you're eating.
- Brett Ridgeman: A single red ant could've eaten it faster.
- Anthony Lurasetti: What are we doing here?
- Brett Ridgeman: We're monitoring a suspicious individual to figure out if he has any money he doesn't need.
- Anthony Lurasetti: Anchovies!
- Anthony Lurasetti: You're still maintaining that gum is for cows and imbeciles?
- Brett Ridgeman: I do and it is.
- Brett Ridgeman: I thought Denise cooked.
- Anthony Lurasetti: Only at her place. She only shops at organic stores the specialize in assuaging guilt.
- [Later, offers Ridgeman some mints, who takes one]
- Anthony Lurasetti: Take two.
- Brett Ridgeman: It's still under construction.
- Anthony Lurasetti: Want me to mail or hand deliver your genius award?
- Brett Ridgeman: Her handbag seemed a little heavy.
- Anthony Lurasetti: You been taking into account the amount of make-up Latinas carry?
- Rosalinda: You said if I told you where the bag was you'll let me go.
- Brett Ridgeman: Can you understand her?
- Anthony Lurasetti: No.
- Anthony Lurasetti: What are we doing here?
- Brett Ridgeman: We're monitoring a suspicious individual to try and figure out if he's got any money he doesn't need.
- Anthony Lurasetti: [Ridgemann and Lurasetti drive past the bank and witness the bloody aftermath] Christ. We could've stopped this. Are you gonna say anything?
- Brett Ridgeman: [Ridgemann spots the van and tails it] Focus on that.
- Anthony Lurasetti: We let those people get killed. You're not gonna say anything? You don't have anything to say about our culpability?
- Brett Ridgeman: Those Italian emotions are saying plenty.
- Anthony Lurasetti: You go to hell, you heartless fuck.
- Brett Ridgeman: I never saw that opera.
- Brett Ridgeman: [Lurasetti angrily slams the dashboard] Look, by the time we knew it wasn't a routine drug deal, it was already too late.
- Anthony Lurasetti: You could have called it in. When the van left the parking garage. Put the Bulwark PD on alert.
- Brett Ridgeman: We didn't. The chances of that accomplishing anything in the 16-minute interim, less than 50 percent, or even 25. You wanna call the Bulwark PD, the state police, the Feds, let them handle it, go ahead. But that van, and the cut-throats inside, they'll be vapor before any enforcement agency can respond. We're it.
- Anthony Lurasetti: [about robbing Vogelmann] This is a bad idea... It's bad for you, and it's bad for me. It's bad like lasagna in a can.
- Anthony Lurasetti: Criminals don't stop doing what they do just 'cause two cops get benched. And we don't do what we do just for the paycheck.
- Brett Ridgeman: Take two
- [mints]
- Brett Ridgeman: .
- Anthony Lurasetti: I'm still enjoying the aftertaste
- [of my sandwich]
- Anthony Lurasetti: .
- Brett Ridgeman: Not all of us are...
