I have something to say. I did not become Earl because I aspired to be one. It came about because of other people's actions. And I did not become king out of ambition, but once again I had no choice as a result of other people's actions. But nonetheless, I am king. King Ragnar, that is my name. King Ragnar! What does a king do, Bjorn?
Yes, good... He rules. And as a ruler, I have the last say. Me! Not you, not you and not you.
[At Ragnar's coffin] So then. I made you the boat that took you to fame. I made the boat that will take you to your heaven [Sarcastically] Give my regards to Athelstan, by the way. You betrayed us. You betrayed your heritage. You betrayed our future. You betrayed me! I loved you more than anyone. I loved you more than that priest ever loved you. But, it made no difference. You always thought, oh, it's just Floki! No need to bother about Floki. He's just a fool. [Pounding the coffin, then falling to his knees] I hated you, Ragnar Lothbrok! [His voice softens] And I love you with all my heart. Why did you turn me away from myself?
Lots of cops burn themselves out running down every half assed lead like it's the French Connection but never learning the secret to being a good cop.
I make the jokes around here, rookie.
I'm talking about the art of doing nothing.
Amazing you don't have your own command by now.
I'm serious. NYPD have spent millions of dollars of hours and manpower setting up stings and takedowns, but if they just taught more cops the art of observing
For what, nannies and skateboarders?
Well, for instance, that yupster over there. The Mandles, 11 o'clock. What do you think he's doing?
He's reading the newspaper.
No. That's what he wants his wife to think. What he's really doing is checking out those blondes doing tai chi.
We can arrest him for having impure thoughts.
Okay, wise ass. See that?
The guy in the suit. Look at him. See him touching his hip like he's looking for something?
You wear your wallet on your hip? Huh? Guy's got a gun, Reagan.
He does? Well, let's go toss him.
Why not? What, a gun collar? You crazy? Why not?
Because he's a cop, Reagan. Mike Respoli, works out of the 2-5. Plays on my softball team, center field. Okay, so I knew, but you didn't.
Where you going? Come here.
VVincent
Are you arresting me? What did I do?
VVincent
I didn't do anything.
That why you jumped out a window? Your car was at the scene of a rape last night.
VVincent
Rape? I didn't rape anybody. I was at the Yankee game.
Good, we'll get Jeter on the horn and find out.
I'm really liking the diplomat's kid for this.
Well, right now your case is weaker than the Mets bullpen.
You got a parking sticker on a car, you got a rough sketch and you got a suspect with diplomatic immunity, which, as you know, is absolute.
It's not my fault I can't talk to the kid.
Gotta take it up with 1 PP. They just called down. The commissioner has this.
Look, if I can get in this kid's apartment.
The commissioner has this.
[walks out of Allison's hospital room] Nice work kid, our only witness and you gotta turn on the waterworks?
[ashamed] I'm sorry Danny.
[glares at him for a second, then loosens up] It's fine. She would have found out eventually anyway. Sometimes you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. I heard about what you did, saving her life. Good job kid.
Glad you stopped by. I've been meaning to give you these since I heard you got assigned the twelfth.
Hold on. I'm going to show you. [goes to locker] You can always use an extra pair of collar brass.
On the other hand, you wanna carry something useful? You ever seen a slapper before? Nothing better in close quarters, take it.
Where did you even get a thing like that?
See right there [points to initials]
You didn't think all those things were mine, did you?
Thanks, but no thanks. [hands Danny the item back]
Suit yourself. Just keep in mind Bambi, you're not in Cambridge anymore.
