"It's necessary to kill them"" "But it's more necessary to get rid of the habit of killing" "Why must you poison a new kid's ears?" ""One of these days, I'm going to bump you off"" "The nut" "It's time you started playing..." ""or you won't even realise when you grew old, firing away at them"" ""There's time for that, sir"" "That's exactly how I used to think too" ""When my hair grayed, when my children grew up...""

"Sadhu" "Who doesn't know him...?" "Sadhu Agashe!" "The press has made a hero out of you" "The press can make anything out of anyone" "There are cases against you" ""Two have been withdrawn, sir"" "It's not a question of the cases being withdrawn or not" "The question is:" "Why have cases been filed against an Inspector?"

"for two whole months" ""No, it won't do"" "Sir knows everything" "obviously." "He's the senior" ""Sir, Mr Suchak wants to see you"" "I haVe a Very simple philosophy" ""He who doesn't deliver results, should not be part of the team"" ""After all, it's the duty of the junior officers..."" "to give their senior officers all their cooperation..." "What you think of me or Suchak..." ""or what Suchak thinks of you and me, makes no difference to the department"" "The world existed before us and it'II still be there when we're dead" "Why's Imtiyaz sir...?" ""I mean, he's Very bitter"" "Maybe he doesn't have a Very nice opinion about you" ""That's just what I told my wife, but she doesn't agree"" "What difference does the opinion of one man make anyway?" "If he's close to your senior officer..." ""a Iot could happen, sir"" ""You'Ve grown the wisdom tooth, already?"" "These senior officers are like the weather" "They keep changing with time" "I worked sincerely for Mr Pradhan for several years" "He was a good human being" "I'II work with the same sincerity for Suchak... and let's see what sort of a man he is" "What do you think?" "Imtiyaz is likely to speak against me?" ""It's Very likely, sir." " He'II speak only against me"" "A bittergourd can't ever be sweet" "What have I got to lose?" "What...?"

"This is Jatin saheb." "tell him whatever you tell me" "What...?" "At least say hello" "Go on now" ""I'II call on your brother, okay?"" "And stop smoking pot!" "Go on now." "Get lost" "This is the first time I saw a police officer giving another officer a bribe" "A police officer is human too" ""It's the same in our department."
