"It's not going to rehab clinics." "That money is not going to junkies to help with their families." "It sure as shit is not going to us, 'cause I haven't had a raise in four years, all right?" "They got millions of dollars sitting in an office waiting to get shoveled to the city's excess fund, and you know what that is." "It's city big shots decorating their offices with mahogany desks and Persian rugs, right?" "All with drug money." "We risk life and limb taking and giving money to scumbags who don't deserve it." "So far be it for me to wag my finger at somebody who's looking out for himself." "You guys want to take the soapbox away here?" "You brought a tear to my eye right there." "Hey, fuck you guys." "Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about." "I'm on your side." "The city's got no respect for cops." "I mean, what's the starting pay?" "$20,000." "All right, 20 fucking grand." "Come on." "Who's gonna raise a family on that?" "All right, that's it." "That's the worst part of it." "All right, the $100,000 they pay your family if you get killed in the line of duty."

"Just give us five minutes." "That's all I need is someone fucking with my game." "What's going on?" "Ronny, I'm in trouble." "Okay." "Angie's expecting twins." "(chuckles)" "Twins?" "You lucky bastard." "Congratulations." "That's a problem?" "Ronny, I ain't got room for twins." "Sure you do." "You've got room here." "Ronny, if I don't get a new house or get some more bread," "I got to tell one of these kids that they got to move in with my sister." "How am I gonna do that?" "How am I gonna tell one of 'em that you're the one that's got to go?" "I can't do that." "You don't have to do that right away, all right?" "I mean, how big are twins?" "They're like this size." "Keep 'em in a drawer for the first year." "Don't worry about it." "You know what I'd give for one?" "You're a lucky guy." " You know something?" "You're right." " This ain't a problem." "Mrs. Vincent, it's Sal." "I have the money for the down payment." "Mrs. Vincent:" "You've got the whole thing?" "No, actually I don't have all the money." "Mrs. Vincent:" "Is there a problem?" "No no, there's not a problem." "The situation is just complicated, that's all, Mrs. Vincent." "No, I know the deadline is Tuesday." "There's no problem about the deadline." "I'm gonna have it well before the deadline." "That's not a problem." "All right?" "Hand to God." "Oh fuck." "No, you don't got to keep thanking me about the violations thing." " It's not a problem." " I appreciate it." "Well, I appreciate you keeping the house off the market for me." " Otherwise I couldn't afford it." " How can you?" "How can I afford it?" "Um..." "You know what, Mrs. Vincent?" "You hear that train?" "I got another train coming by in a second so why don't I just do this..." "I'm gonna call you back when I have all the money and then we can figure out a time to meet." " Okay, God bless you." " Okay, God bless you too, okay?" "(crowd chanting) Shot him down!" "Shot him down!" "NYPD shot him down." "Fuck the police." "Officer:" "Back up, please." "Back up." " NYPD shot him down." " We ain't scared of you no more." "Officer Dugan." "Some guy, I think he's the captain, he said that the guy I was with yesterday is going with your guy and I'm with you."

"And what's the job?" "The job." "Yeah, right." "It's not what you expect." "It's never going to be." "It couldn't be." "Just keep your eyes open and keep walking." "Whoa, you all right?"

" When you have wood inside your house" " the particles travel in the air..." " I know all about the mold." "Well, if your wife's case, because of her asthma her lungs are working three times as hard as they should, which is jeopardizing her and the twins."

"Why are you so adamant on taking blame?" "Because I knew I should have stayed." "You knew your fellow officer would pull his gun on a crowd of unarmed kids?" "And then let off two shots within inches of this kid's head?" "I knew I should have stayed and I didn't." "I just..." "I let it go..." "just let it go." "(whispers)" "Ahem." "This student, he had $400 and an ounce of marijuana in his possession." "Is it possible that Officer Quinlan was overzealous in apprehending a known drug suspect?" "Man:" "And said drug suspect's fear of a felony charge led him to resist arrest." "(sighs)" "Officer Quinlan shouldn't have been there." "You've been an officer long enough to know that Quinlan was the casualty of a bad shooting." "A casualty needed to preserve the trust of the public." "We need this to be drug related." "We need a decorated officer's testimony to back that up." "Now while your service record is not commendable or extraordinary, it will satisfy." "So would you please, for the record, recount the events of that day in question?" "(sighs)" "Fuck you." "He shouldn't have been there." "Could you inform Officer Dugan that this board can bring him up on departmental charges?" "Let me remind you he retires in a few days." " Hey, kid." " Man:" "Quinlan." " You'll do fine."

" (chattering)" " Sal, you look like shit." " Take some vitamins, G." "Here you are, man." "Thanks for watching my back, Sal." "I heard they're gonna pin a medal on you, bro." "If I had given it a second thought," "I wouldn't have lifted a finger for you." "I would've done what I came there to do, all right?" "So don't go patting me on the back, all right?" "I don't deserve it." "Caz:" "You know what them fucking Mexicans do?" "The Mexicans... them motherfuckers will wrap you up in plastic, throw some taco sauce and gasoline on the motherfucker and burn your ass up." "The fucking Dominicans... they take pliers, put 'em on your nuts, squeeze your nuts like a walnut." "And then they throw fucking taco sauce and gasoline on the plastic and burn your ass up." "The Columbians... the Columbians?" "And I'm just a connect." "What you think they gonna do to me?" " Yeah, I know, man." " I've gotta deal with this shit, man." "Fuck." "And then fucking Red pulling his bullshit?" "This nigga Red, man... tired of playing the two-gun." "Motherfucker want to be Kobe Bryant up in this bitch." "What, you think I didn't see that?"

"I know you know what it is." "You know what it is." "I did think he was gonna toss youngblood over though." "Why?" "He ain't the one snitching." "Somebody is, though." "You'd better believe that." "But it ain't him." "I'm tired of this shit, man." "I'm trying to do some other shit." "What the fuck?" "And these motherfuckers are trying to make it their business to lock me the fuck up." "Caz, look here, man." "I know a way you can shut this whole thing down and still make your paper." "How's that?" "These cats I know uptown... they want to buy from us, wholesale." "They're at the table asking 10 bricks, hard." "You just gotta meet 'em." "Are we on the same fucking planet?" "Buddy, I just got the fuck out." "Caz." "Listen, man." "What the fuck?" "Why not now?" "(sighs)" "How much longer you gonna be dodging bullets out here in these streets, man?" "How long before one of these motherfucking knuckleheads catches us slipping, put one in the back of our fucking heads?" "I ain't got to tell you." "You already know." "These streets got an expiration date on them." "Tango, you trust these motherfuckers?" " Yeah." "Hell yeah." " "Hell yeah"?" " That ain't sound real confident." " Yeah, I trust 'em, man." "I wouldn't even come to you with this unless I did." "You take this shit, the whole cut for yourself and you vanish." "Fuck these streets." "Get ghost, right?" "You're goddamn right, get ghost."
