"Um, no." "Okay, you and Norma come out to the coast, see the premiere of the movie." "Hell, I'll roll out the red carpet, you can stay at my house with me." "At your house?" "You like the beach?" "(LAUGHING)" "Uh, Captain, what we talked about, the little jizzball thing..." "Yeah, look, um..." "Would you, would you sign this?" "Not a problem." "Um, for Norma." "Absolutely, absolutely." "Um..." "Norma?" "Norma." ""Norma, bang, bang," ""Nick Lang."" "Thank you, thank you." "Look, if there's anything myself or Lieutenant Moss can do for you..." "You're doing it." "Thanks." "Okay." "Thanks, John." "(MOCKING) Bang, bang!" "(MUTTERING)" "Get my wife on the phone, would you?" "Listen, Lieutenant Moss, I was thinking." "You know, I don't really need the gun." "(MOUTHING)" "It's probably better to, you know, wait a couple of days, anyway, until I get this whole cop thing down pat." "You know what I mean..." "What you got?" "Coroner's report on the guy the Party Crasher took out at the club." "Of course, I'm off the case, but..." "Yeah, Glaser safety bullets, hollow points." "That figures, right?" "Custom-made." "Has to be." "God damn, look at this thing!" "Doesn't this look like that Darth Vader-looking-thing we took off the Dead Romeos last month?" "That's right, yeah." "Dead Romeos." "I wonder if they're buying from the same guy the Party Crasher is." "Check this." "BILLY:" "We might have to ask one of the Dead Romeos." "Uh, oh, not me, of course. 'Cause, you know, I'm off the case." "Yeah, sorry to hear you're off the case." "Yeah, yeah." "I'm going to be introducing my new partner, Ray Casanov here to the pleasures of a frog dog."

"I guess cops can drive as fast as they want, huh?" "Look, Moss, let's get on the same page here, okay?" "I'm sensing that you're not completely happy with this situation." "That's fine, okay?" "'Cause I'm here for one reason and one reason only." "You are the best." "You're a heavyweight." "You're a Yoda among cops." "You know, Yoda?" "Little guy, big ears, real smart." "So it doesn't really matter what you think of me, 'cause I have all the respect in the world for you." "And that is where I'm coming from." "Look, dickwad, I don't give a rat's ass where you're coming from, okay?" "All I care about is where you're going." "It's good, we're talking." "Where do I drop you off?" "Where are you staying?" "What, the Plaza, the Regency?" "Give me a name." "I'm staying with you." "(CHUCKLING)" "Maybe when my asshole learns to chew gum." "Hey, my bags are in the back." "Look, I thought this was all arranged." "Not with me." "Nobody arranged jack-shit with me!" "You know, Moss, this may come as a shock to you, but a lot of people would be pretty excited to have Nick Lang in their home." "Great, tell me where they live, I'll be happy to drop you off." "All right, listen." "No." "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "You listen, you egcmaniacal little cockroach!" "I got yanked off a case so you could get your rocks off being a cop groupie, and now what, you want to live in my house?" "I've got a job to do!" "And I'm going to do it." "I don't have time for anybody in my house, in this car, in my life who isn't A, a cop or B, the Party Crasher." "You got it?" "So, that's what this is all about, isn't it?" "You're still after this guy." "Give me the name of a hotel or I bounce your ass out at the next light, and I don't downshift." "I don't know, Moss, I don't know." "You think that's a good idea?" "I mean, personally, I don't think Captain Brix is gonna like it." "You know, I mean, us being separated, you being back on the case." "Although, I'm not gonna mention anything, because,hey, if you can't trust your partner, who can you trust?" "(SIGHS)" "(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)" "What is that?" "Ah, it's a rubber gun." "Got it from props." "Just help me get into character until I get the real thing." "Great." "Dickless Tracy." "Hey, stay here." "Hey, wait." "How come I can't come with you?" "Stay." "Hey, I sit and roll over, too." "Oh, man." "Oh, this is beautiful." "This is amazing." "Swish." "Ah-ha!" "Okay." "And mt." "And... (GASPS)" "I may have to kill you later."

"Not us, Lieutenant." "We're a reading group." "(LAUGHING)" "Shut up!" "Damn,mam" "Reading group, huh?" "Well, these sure don't look like the classics to me." "Those are just shower gifts, homeboy." "I ain't your homeboy." "Okay?" "What you want to do is, you want to graduate from high school, get decent jobs, take a shot at white collar crime." "That's where the real money is." "Okay, pop quiz." "There is a shooter out there..." "He's using hollow-point safety slugs in a retooled .475, beefed-up gun barrel, laser sight." "Kind of like the gun I took off one of you little shits at the BK Liquors last month." "You remember?" "It wasn't us, man." "(HUSHING) (GRUNTS)" "Yo, yo, I think the dude thinks he's Babe Ruth." "This is a custom-made gun." "It takes a specialist to make such a gun." "I need a name." "Yo, we don't know nothing, babe!" "Get out of the damn way." "I'm sorry, man." "You know, I couldn't hear the name with the TV." "Joe Gunn is back in Smoking Gunn ll." "Nick Lang is once again Joe Gunn who hates bad guys, loves bad girls." "Hey, Nick Lang!"
