"And my realtor really thanks you." "You want to tell me what I'm doing here?" "You know, when Washington got wind of this dirty cop shooting that grad student, we had to step in." "A thing like that, it messes people up." "They forget what side they're on." "They forget who the real enemy is." "Every now and then we've got to come in and remind 'em." "Casanova Phillips." "Judge gave this scumbag a get out of jail free card." "We want you to take that card away, but we need evidence." "You put him on a deal with our UCs and push it through."

"I heard she's remodeling your house." "On a cop's salary, huh?" "You know, a whole lot of cash has passed through your hands over the last two years." "I ain't stole so much as a nickel since I've been on the job." "You ain't got shit." "Oh, you do not want me to put a microscope up your ass, 'cause if I do, I will keep looking until I find something." " Or you plant something?" " Watch that." "Now you listen to me." "You think you're a tough guy 'cause you did undercover at Clinton Correctional?" "You even survived a little incident." "If you know so much about me, then maybe you should stop fucking with me." "If you got a case, bring it." "But until that time, step off, dude." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Wait." "Was this shit supposed to be serious?" "You expect me to stand there and listen?" "Get the fuck out of here." "Don't let her get to you." "Don't let her get to you, okay?" "She's about to become the head of the New York division too." " Can you believe that?"

"Come on, no wives, no girlfriends, man." "So one of these wiseguys gets pinched for some drug thing in Jersey and to save his own ass he rats on Bobby for guess what?" " Robbing dealers in Brooklyn." " Prick." "I'll never get that." "If you're gonna do something wrong there's a risk." "If you can't handle the risk, you shouldn't do it in the first place." "Yeah, one bad cop makes us all look bad." "Ronny, are you retarded?" "I'm talking about the mob guy who ratted him out." "Boy Scouts of America over here." "Girl Scout." "Yo, throw me a couple cookies, huh?" "Come on, Ronny." "These wiseguys, they break the law to become wiseguys." "And then soon as shit goes bad they break their bullshit mafia codes to get witness protection under the same laws they were breaking in the first place." "Wait wait wait wait." "I wasn't talking about the fucking mafia." "I was talking about us." "Cops." "I don't know about you, Pat, but I think we're too good to take drug money, right?" "I say get off your high horse." "There's no civilians in the room." " You gonna call?" " I'm in, baby." " Okay." " Read 'em and weep." " You too, Brutus?" " Read 'em and weep." "Cheddar coming, kid." "That's it, baby." "Give me that money, kid." "I love the smell." "Would you do it?" "Tell 'em." "Sal, come on." "We all know where that money goes." "Better still, we know where it doesn't go." "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." "Fat lot of good that does anybody." "You're worth more to them dead than alive, man 100K." "You know what?" "Shoot me in the fucking face." "My girl needs a new car." "Hey, don't you touch that gun." "Again, the point that you've got to be a fatality to provide for your kids..." " Daddy." " Shit, I told you don't come down here." "Shit." "Nobody touch the cards or the... shit, I told you not to come down here, all right?" "Nobody touch the money." "Nobody touch the cards." "What are you doing down here?" "What, Vinny?" "Vinny, what?" "Daddy, Vinny keeps coming in my room." "We're trying to get dressed." "What is that skirt?" "What are you doing?" "Um, what is this smoke?" " All right, see what I told you?" " Touché." "All right, don't worry about the smoke." "Don't tell your mother." "Here, you and Myeisha take this." "Go out and have a good time, all right?" "I love you." "Give me a kiss." " Bye, Myeisha." " Good bye." " Bye, have fun." " Change that skirt." "People will start to think we're Catholic only on Sundays." "Yo yo, Sally Sal, I didn't realize you were living in Harlem." " (beatboxing)" " Watch your mouth." "Don't fuck around, Patrick." "We don't talk like that in this house." "Not in front of my kid." "I dig it over here on Malcolm X Boulevard." " Oh no, you didn't." " Yes, I did, my nigga." " See you later, Dad." " Ronny:" "Hey, Pat." "You want me to come over there and kick your ass?" " Is that what you want?" " Ooh." " You know my wife is black." " Of course I know your wife is black." "My shorty is black." "Don't we go shopping for cocoa butter together?" "Now that's it!" " You racist prick!" " What the fuck is wrong with you, man?" "What the fuck, Sal?" "Fuck you, I'm a fucking racist." "I would take a bullet for you, Sal." "Not in front of my kids." "I listen to your shit all day long." "Come on, George, get off of me." "What the fuck, Sal?" "Take it outside." "Take it outside." " You're dead, man." " Just take him upstairs." "Take him upstairs for five minutes." "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." "I don't know why they keep switching us." "(crowd continues yelling)" "Officer:" "Stay behind the barricade." "Get inside." "No, the other side." "Officer:" "Back up, people." "Back up."

"Just live long enough to get a retirement good enough to have a nice pension and what else is there?" "What are you gonna do between now and that pension?" "I'm gonna do the job." "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?" " I'm cool." " Okay." "But I have won my appeal." "Oh, they can do that shit?" "Appeal the appeal, huh?" "Whatever." "What's up?" "These motherfuckers is rabid, man." "They're thirsty."

" 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." "One of the babies is significantly smaller than the other." " But they're okay though?" " For now." "Mr. Rosario, have you considered moving?" "Yeah, I have." "(siren wailing)" " Fuck you, man."

"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." " Let's go." " Sorry." " You'll do fine." "Come on." "Mrs. Vincent:" "Hi, it's me again." "Today's the day when everything goes down." "Please let me know."

" I'll make sure you get paid." " Nah, that's..." "I'm good." "I'm good." " Good one." " (door shuts)" " Gentlemen, nice job there today." " Captain." " You made me proud." " (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?" "So what you saying?" "Hmm?" "Since I've been eight down... what?" "I don't know what the fuck is going on?" "I just hit the block with my eyes wide shut, right?" "Nah nah, Caz." "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."
