"What the hell did you think the gun was for, huh?" "Show-and-tell?" "Look, you'll get over it." "All right, they'll send you to BSS." "You'll do all that Buddhist "I love and revere all sentient beings" crap." "Then, at o'dark 30 next time you're up, you will drag your weary, fried ass out of bed;" "you will put on your gun and your vest, and you will do it all over again." "You know why?" "Because it's a front row seat to the greatest show on earth." "Can you abuse it?" "Yes, sir." "You can, and you will." "I guarantee it." "Because it is relentless, and it gets to you, and it seems like it changes nothing." "But a day like today..." "with some interesting capers and a few good arrests..." "that's good." "But every once in a while, you get to take a bad guy off the streets for good... and that, my friend, is God's work." "So, now, you want to be a pussy and quit, you quit." "You're a cop because you don't know how not to be one." "If you feel that way, you're a cop." "If you don't, you're not." "You decide." "Lydia?" "Yeah, Ma." " Sorry." " Want me to make you something to eat?" "I'm not hungry." "Go back to sleep." "We have ants?" "There was a dead cockroach." "They were all over it." "I would have used that spray, but you said it was too toxic." "All right, Ma." "There has been a surge of gang violence over the past few weeks." "We're going to do..." "It's Arsham, right?" "I didn't want to hurt her." "But, you know, just... she started screaming..." "and I panicked... so I put my hand over her mouth." "One King 54 requesting assistance at my location." "I'm going in now." "Arsham!" "What did you do?" "Is he okay?" "I like that book." " How come you read this book?" " My black studies class." "For real?" "My brother got shot." " What?" " My brother got shot." "I'm sorry." "Is he going to be okay?" "They say so." "Good..." "You need me to do anything?" "Can I check with anybody about anything?" "No, he's fine." "He's sleeping." "You a cop?" "We got a look or something?" "No, it's just the hair." "That's all." "I don't look mean or anything?" "I left something at work, and I had to go back." "Go back to sleep, all right?" "It's early." "I had the day from hell." "I got arrested." "I had a crap day, too." "It is my opinion that despite the circle jerk of this night," "Officer Ben Sherman performed his duties to the highest standard." "He is and will continue to be a superior police officer." "We will be very lucky if he serves his sworn career with the Los Angeles Police."
