" Why the hell not?" "Got a light?" "Always given David everything he wanted but lately he just won't take anything." "It's as though he's cut me off completely." "David' s just not cut out for this, Mr. Pulovski." "He's not cut out for it." "I thought we were gonna be direct." "Yeah, so did I." "I want to guarantee David' s safety." "Mr. Ackerman if you want a guarantee, buy a toaster." "Hey, kid." "You tell your daddy next time he needs a babysitter tell him to check the yellow pages." "It's a lot cheaper."

"You rely too much on a nonexistent racial solidarity, Morales." "Just a few ounces of the good stuff and your friend Little Felix was singing to me like a canary with his eyes plucked out." "No way." "I'm going to have to leave the country if I ever want a breath of air." "Between the cops and those fucking Italians." "You' ve caused me a lot of trouble." "Come on, Strom." "How can you believe a guy like Felix?" "[CHUCKLING]" "Look, I gotta go." "Come on." "You took me for a ride." "Now it's your turn." "Ciao." "[GUN COCKS]" "The body is unidentified, Nick." "From the description, it sounds like the bird you had nesting in the chop-shop operation." "That him, Nick?" "Absolutely not." "That ain' t him." "Your plastic's not gonna help you now, you lousy little fuck." "We could get in a lot of hot water for this." "Relax, kid." "Take your mind off my work." "Think about that little squeeze you had at your daddy's bash the other night." "Just shut up about her, all right?" "Why don' t we just get a court order." "They wouldn't give us one." "This ain't our case, remember?" "Then why the hell are we here?" "We both recognized Morales' body at the junkyard." " You fucking lied to Garcia." " I didn' t lie to him." " I just didn' t tell him the truth." " Oh, Christ." "Don't patronize me." "Think I like dragging around after you all day?" "I fucking hate it." "And I hate the way you drive, and I hate your stinking whiskey breath." "Well, I hate your uptight, regulation-spouting, Boy Scout horseshit." "And I hate the little fucking creases in your pants." "And I hate these fucking doughnuts." "These little ones with the pinky shit on top." "Nobody eats that shit." " Who the hell asked you anyways, huh?" " Shut up!" "I got him." " Why do you want this guy so badly?" " He killed my partner." "I know about that, but I'm not buying it." "There's gotta be something else." "Listen, kid." "All my life, I've been in a race whether it was on the circuit or the force." "I always seem to come up smalltime." "Except all of a sudden now this guy Strom falls right in my lap out of sheer luck." "Me and Powell, we make him as king of the biggest chop-shop operation in the Southland." "I'm wearing him down." "Do you hear me?" "He's running on reserve." "In fact, his engine's gonna blow and I ain't gonna lose this one." "You can either stand out of my way or you can be my partner and back me up." "Goddamn this son of a bitch." "Fuck this shit." "[MUMBLING]" "That's got it." "Wake up, kid." "We just hit the jackpot." "[MUMBLING]" "Good to see you, Mr. Strom." "We really missed you."

"Now listen to me." "This pig has cheated me out of $2 million in cash." "That's exactly what you will have for me in 24 hours if you ever want to see him alive again." "Two million bucks?" "Are you out of your fucking mind?" "That's not pertinent, is it?" "I'm taking this car out of here." "I'm going to be flipping through all your frequencies." "If I hear one static peep about following us, the pig dies." "Yeah, I hear you." "How can we be sure you won't kill him anyway?" "You can't, can you?" "Nick, goddamn it all to hell." "COP:" "Freeze." "GARCIA:" "Hold it." "Hold it!" "What do you mean, no money?" "I mean the commissioner and the mayor decided not to set a precedent inviting every maniac in this city to kidnap someone." "Whatever the hell we do, we're gonna have to do it without $2 million." " They'll kill him, goddamn it." " Then they'll kill him." "He was gonna squeeze that trigger." "I saw it in his eyes." "They found the squad car ditched in East L.A., captain." "Bad guys are long gone." "You took it in the back, didn't you?" "They' re not putting up the money." "Take a vacation." "Whatever happens I don' t want to see your face for at least two weeks."

"Well, cop you wanted me so badly, now you get to spend your last few hours with me." "Well, that makes me feel warm all over." "You know, I'm curious about one thing." "Why would a dumb Polack like you think he could outsmart someone like me?" "It's just that the arrogant fucking Kraut like you is in the firing line." "That's..." "Liesl." "That's no way to treat $2 million worth of merchandise." "Okay, Mr. Strom." "This place is completely rigged." "Now, this little device just works by sound." "Punch in the sequence anywhere from within 200 yards enter it, and ba-boom, she' s sky-high." "Well, it looks like I wasn't the one who needed the longer legs, huh, Pulovski?" "I'm going to have to leave this place real soon, thanks to you." "But when I go I go with a bang." "[KEYS CLANGING]" "[MOTORCYCLE STARTS]" "I'm looking for Loco Martinez."

"I came to you because you' re the richest person that I know." "Who do you think you' re punishing, huh?" "Putting yourself out where you could get killed." "I've already lost a son." " You can't know how that feels." " He was my brother." "You' re my only son!" "It's your responsibility to be here for us!" "My responsibility?" "Where were you when I was in pain?" "Where were you when I was hurting?" "I've always given you everything you wanted." "But you were never there for me, Dad." "Were you angry with me?" "Did you blame me for something?" "Well, I don't know, and I really don't give a fuck anymore." "I'm through making mistakes." "You couldn' t buy me, Dad, but you can sure as hell buy me some time." "I'll do it." "With a condition."

"That's great." "Thank you, Sarah." "Is decaf okay?" "David hates caffeine." "Decaf's fine." "Don't worry." "A couple more years and David will be a speed freak like us old-timers." "Christ." "I don' t know what you've been up to, but Garcia is pissing fire." "He wants you downtown, like, yesterday." "Garcia isn't at headquarters." "Sure as hell is."

"Come here." "It' s okay." "It's okay." "You want to know what a real criminal is, Sarah?" "What are you talking about, David?"

"Get up there, help Liesl with the pig get your car and you're out of here." "Get ready." " What about Loco?" " Loco?" "Loco hasn't called in." "You handle it yourself, and I save 50 grand." "Move!"

"PULOVSKl:" "Means you did real great back there, and I'm very appreciative." "But I'm going after that son of a bitch, and I won't need you watching my ass." "Wait a minute." "While you had what's-her-name sitting on your face..." "She did not sit on my face." "Whatever." "Look." "I've been kicking ass and taking names, trying to save your fucking hide." "I'll probably get busted by the first cop that sees me." "You got a right to remain silent." "You got a right for an attorney." " Fuck you, Nick." " Your daddy will be able to make bail." "My daddy was ready to bail one of us out." "Two million dollars for your ass." " You tell him I'm obliged." " Oh, he didn't do it for you, Nick." "I did it for you." "This is ridiculous."

"Right, man, right." " Where you been rehearsing that stuff?" " Oh, I' m done rehearsing." "Good boy." "Very good boy."

"Didn't I ever tell you you should always aim for the heart?" "I was aiming for the heart." "That's my brand." "Where'd you get that?" "Your house." "I picked it up the same time I borrowed your bike." "It's nothing I can't fix." "Well, you're so good at fixing things maybe you'll fix me a light." "The story of my life." "Hey, Dave." "Sorry to hear about Nick, man." "I always told Pulovski he'd get it someday, and he didn't believe it." "Tough break for Pulovski." "Keep trying, fellas." "How's it going, Ray?" "Nick!" "Where's the lieutenant?" " You're looking at him." " What happened to Garcia?" "He got kicked upstairs." "You got a problem with that?" "No, not at all." "That's just fine." "You look pretty nice sitting behind that desk there." "That's Lt. Pulovski to you or else you'll be back on parking-meter duty." " You got that?" " I got that." "I'm never too far from your thoughts, am I?" "My nightmares is more like it." "And keep that motorcycle out of my parking place or I'll have it impounded." "And get your ass off my desk." "You don't park here either." "Listen, Nick..." "Excuse me, lieutenant, sir..." "I ran a make on that guy we've been seeing all over town." "Turns out to be..." "Excuse me." "This is a private conversation." "This is Heather Torres." "Heather Torres?" "Nice to meet you, Heather." " Anyways, it's the same guy Homicide..." " That's your new partner." "Let her back in, David." "Now." "I've been going through the files here." "Torres' test scores are outstanding." "Better than yours." " She's perfect." " Oh, yeah?" "Then why is her badge on upside down?" "I'd get yourself a backup." "Keep it." "Thanks." "Are you two gonna stand here all day and bust my chops?" "Get out there and arrest somebody." "Or something." "Why the hell not?" "[CLEARS THROAT]" "Looks a little wet behind those ears." "Thought you could use this." "You know what they say about those virgins?" "Yeah, I know all about it."
