"BEN:" "Uh, Failure drill, right?" "Two the body, one to the head?" "Yeah." "Used to be called the Mozambique." "PC crap-- nothing can be called what it is." "You know why they call it the Mozambique?" "Nah." "Those crazy revolutionary dudes over there used to chew this drug called "khat."" "Mm-hmm." "Hits the nervous system." "It's like amphetamine." "You chew the leaves, you're impervious." "Hey, hey!" "Hey." "I told my wife about you." "Good job, son." "(chuckles) Thank you." "Dewey's an (bleep), but he's one of us." "Yeah." "All right." "Thanks." "Have a good one." "Yeah." "All right, anyway, 1974-- this soldier, he's defending the airport there, right?" "Got a sidearm." "This khat-chewing crazy-ass (bleep), he comes running at him with an AK-47, firing bullets." "They were just spraying bullets everywhere." "He's missing him, right?" "Yeah." "So the soldier fires two to the center mass." "The khat-chewin' bastard, he doesn't feel it." "They don't put you up for the Medal for this, something's wrong." "(laughs) Thank you." "JOHN:" "Yeah." "For the whole 30 seconds he's been on the job, he definitely deserves the Medal of Valor." "You done us proud." "Thank you." "CHICKIE:" "Six-eight-47, show us clear." "So, after the double-tap, soldier fires one to the head-- right between the eyes." "You know why?" "Yeah, there's no bone to deflect the bullet." "Bang!" "He goes down." "So, seriously-- where'd you learn to shoot?" "Beverly Hills Gun Club." "Thought you knew." "You're (bleep) with me." "CHICKIE:" "I don't think so." "Get in the back, Spago." "Sorry."

"ANDY:" "How much money he owe you, sir?" "How much does he owe you, sir?" "Three dollars." "Are you kidding me?" "Three dollars?" "That's what he owes you?" "You're missing the point here." "He said he wasn't gonna pay me back!" "This is a bad economy." "All right." "We're done here." "Uh, guy says he did it; we have witnesses." "It's a ground ball."

"Remember him?" "Hi." "You want to be an Explorer?" "What all does it consist of?" "Well, it's, uh, it's basically for kids who think they might want to go into law enforcement." "We'll meet up once a week; we train you;" "you'll move through the ranks, just like in the academy, and, uh, you get to train other kids." "I'll join." "(detectives chuckling)" "NATE:" "That was easy." "SAMMY:" "You know, you're already helping us out by testifying." "You know that, right?" "Yeah."

"Oh, man, Russell, we didn't bring a car seat." "It's four blocks." "You can just hold him." "Look, just, you know, sit in the backseat, I'll drive real slow." "Promise." "Okay." "He's a big man." "Handsome little man." "Isn't he?" "Let's go for a ride." "SAMMY:" "This is our star witness in a gang trial." "When was the last time you had a witness come forward like this, huh?" "Detective..." "How about never?" "There's a budget crisis." "Maybe you've noticed?" "Okay?" "I'm sorry, we're not relocating them." "This is bull (bleep)." "No, they're Hispanic gang members."

"No." "Okay." "You, uh, if you hear anything, give us a holler." "It's police!" "What?" "I saw the baby climb out of a box." "The baby?" "Yeah." "It tipped over the box and just climbed out." "(laughs):" "I mean..." "I thought I was hallucinating." "(both laugh)" "And then you just let it crawl into traffic, right?" "No." "No, no, no, no, no, no." "I-I had split by then." "I had to get some breakfast." "You know, they serve this French toast over at the church..." "Barry, I need you to show me where the box was." "Yeah." "Okay?" "Yeah." "All right, let's go."

"It was a power substation, you idiot." "Where's the mother?" "That bitch broke up with me." "Does she know what you did?" "I need to talk to the mother, Skylar." "She tells me she wants to go straight." "Then she gets some dumb-ass job, and every time she has a problem, she dumps the baby on me." "And I don't even know if it's mine." "I mean, she was screwing about ten guys at the same time." "Her name." "I need her name." "Do you know why they towed the car, Kimmy?" "'Cause it was in a tow-away zone." "I'm sorry!" "You guys have got a way home, right?" "I'm gonna call your parents tonight, so the numbers you gave me better be right." "You just humiliated me!" "Too bad." "(phone rings) Is that Mommy?" "No." "Who is Brianna?" "Could you tell her I need to talk to her about her son?" "Is this about Jimmy?" "Your ex, Skylar, decided to give him away." "He thought it was for the best." "We found him crawling down the street on his own." "Oh, my God, is he okay?" "He's safe." "Where is he?" "Children's Services has him." "No." "Once they get them, you can't get them back!" "I want to see my son now!" "Can I see him?" "No, not right now." "DCFS has him, and he's safe." "How did this happen, Brianna?" "I leave him with this woman while I work-- she's really good-- but she had an emergency with her own son at school, and so I told her to leave him with Skylar." "I usually don't, but this was an emergency." "According to Skylar, you leave the baby with him all the time." "No." "That's a lie." "He hates me because I went straight." "I..." "The minute I found out that I was pregnant with Jimmy," "I stopped using." "I got a job right away." "I've never done anything to hurt him." "I've been trying so hard." "How'd he get the scar on his leg?" "He's like Houdini!" "He gets out of everything." "He-he got out of his high chair and scraped his leg on the screw that was holding it together." "I got it secondhand." "I took him to get a tetanus shot right away." "He has all his shots." "So, we take him to the E.R., get some X rays-- we gonna find anything else?" "Some old broken bones, more scars?" "No!" "I love my son!" "He's all that I have." "Please, please can I see him?" "MAN:" "Now, Dewey graduated from the academy in 1986." "He wasn't the top of his class, but he wasn't the bottom-- but close." "(laughter) Yeah." "No-No Child Left Behind, you know what I'm saying?" "(laughter) His first assignment was South Central, where he did his probation." "Now, he worked there from '86 to '88, when he was asked to leave." "(laughter) Huh?" "I mean, that's something." "He had 20 mouth-beefs at the time." "That was a record back then." "21!" "Very nice, very nice." "Now, in '98, he went over to Venice, beach patrol." "Some say he learned how to drink there." "I think he was working on his tan the whole time." "(laughter) Riding around on a bicycle in a T-shirt and shorts..." "(continues indistinctly)" "That your BSS shrink?" "Uh-huh." "How much longer do you have to do that?" "Uh, not much longer, I think." "He uncovering all your deep, dark Beverly Hills secrets?" "(chuckles) Yeah, he is." "You know who my father is, right?" "Like what?" "Scumbag defense lawyer, Ben Sherman?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "My father represented this drug dealer." "Guy's brother went to jail." "Dealer was pissed, thought it was my dad's fault." "Had some people over to, uh, visit our house." "Only problem was, that my dad had already walked out and left us." "They were pretty pissed off." "I was ten." "After that, this kid I was in school with, his, uh, his dad thought" "I should learn to defend myself, so... he took me and his son to the gun club every Saturday." "Taught us both to shoot." "(people cheering, whistling in distance)" "You want another?" "No." "I'm good." "MAN:" "Just one tiny correction to make." "Uh, in '98, when I went to Venice," "I already knew how to drink," "I just perfected it!" "(people shouting, clapping) Yeah!" "Venice rocked, man, Venice rocked."

"Can I talk to you for a second?" "Yeah." "Yeah, sure." "(laughter) Whoa!" "Hey." "Hey!" "Let me tell you something, if those guys saw me coming, they ran the other way!" "Aah!" "Why did you let him take the baby?" "I already told you, the woman I leave him with had an emergency." "I'm trying to work with you here, but I have some very serious concerns." "Can I see him, please?" "Not right now." "Can I speak with you for a moment, privately?" "Brianna, give us a second?" "What's the problem?" "I'm gonna open a case, and she's very likely gonna lose this baby." "I've worked with you people before, and this is not how you do things." "You're not baby stealers; you keep the families together." "She has a history of prostitution, she's a drug addict, and she gave the baby to a meth-addicted father." "I think she..." "She's endangering the child." "What if she's clean?" "What if I give her back the baby and it winds up dead in a week?" "You do your job, let me do mine." "But you're not doing your job, you're judging her." "The baby deserves a chance to grow up with his mother." "Yes, she screwed up, but she's asking for another chance." "Give it to her." "Yes, can you send in Ms. Smith, please?" "Honey, this is my buddy Tom I was telling you about." "He's gonna take Richter." "Hi." "How are you?" "Let's get this over with, all right?" "Okay, sure." "We're gonna go put him in Tom's truck now, okay?" "Fine." "So, Sammy said you have goats." "300 goats." "It's a business, honey." "Rent-a-Rumanant-- they clear brush." "Fire prevention." "No kidding?" "They clear brush faster than a crew." "They never call in sick, no chemicals, no waste-- they're green as hell." "Never thought I'd be one of those ecological do-gooders." "Open up." "Hey there, big fella." "You want to help me herd some goats?" "(barking) Huh?" "You're confused, ain't ya?" "Bring him out." "Come on, Tammi, let's do this." "All right, all right." "Come on!" "Give me a second!" "Come on." "I know." "Me, too." "I miss you." "I miss you." "I miss you a lot." "Not here, not here." "Come on, Sal, one kiss." "Sal." "(groans)" "Most of all, I... (man whistles) wish you luck, Dewey, with... whatever you do in retirement." "(scattered chuckles) Wow!" "(man shouts indistinctly)" "(chatter, whooping) My God, hey...." "Hey, wait, did... did you write that speech yourself?" "(laughter) My God!" "DEWEY:" "What the hell do you mean you don't know what I'm gonna do in retirement?" "In case you haven't noticed this beautiful new uniform of mine," "I'm gonna go to work on movie sets." "(rowdy shouts, whooping)" "Hey, hey, they're gonna take one look at my ass on my motorcycle, and they're gonna make me" "(whooping) a star, baby!" "Yeah!"

"(whimpers)" "(screaming):" "Stop!" "DEWEY:" "For those of you that don't know-- my beautiful wife." "(cheers and whistles)" "I can't thank you enough for coming back to me." "I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with my tax-free medical pension." "(laughter)" "Where the hell's my shrink?" "My shrink is here somewhere." "And my sponsor." "In the back-- beautiful ladies." "I want to bang you both!" "(laughter)" "I'm kidding." "I'm kidding, sweetheart." "Uh, you know, in all seriousness, you know, I-I know I messed up." "They say I've got a disease called addiction." "Personally, I just think I'm an (bleep)."

"(helicopter circling overhead)" "She break up with the fool, you think he gonna take that lying down?" "Ms. Johnson, I realize you're upset." "But I need you to calm down." "SAMMY:" "Are you gonna help me out here or not?" "D.A.:" "I told you, we don't have the funds." "The girl's an associate of Grape St." "Who cares who it was!" "They're in real danger here." "I'm sorry, we don't have the money." "You're sorry." "You wonder why we can't get anybody to testify?" "That was kinda sad." "Yeah." "Oh, my speech sucked."
