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?

He rules.

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] We don't always know what the gods have in store for us. But this? I could never imagine. If you've gone to heaven, then we will never meet again. [Going to her knees, whispering] And yet, I think Odin will rise like the wind to rescue you and take you to Valhalla where you belong, my own sweet Ragnar. And there... there we shall meet again. And fight and to drink and... love one another.

[Seated with his back at Ragnar's coffin] I have always resented you. It's true. I'm not denying it. I'm sorry you're dead, but it happens to all of us, sooner or later. It's just funny that the gods took you first. I always thought they favored you. You thought so, too. [a small laugh] It seems we were both mistaken.

[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?

You have earned the distinction of being the best trained, best prepared police officers in the world. Ready to serve and protect the most vibrant city in the world, where every day brings a responsibility to keep all New Yorkers safe, safe from crime and safe from terrorism.

Hey, college boy, tell your brother the first rule of riding in my car.

Jamie, tell your boss I know Brooklyn better than a Manhattan cop.

This is me keeping my mouth shut.

If anyone's going to punch my ex out it's going to be me.

I wouldn't mind being there to see that.

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.

What's that, extra mayo?

I make the jokes around here, rookie.

All right.

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?

What?

The guy in the suit. Look at him. See him touching his hip like he's looking for something?

Checking his wallet.

You wear your wallet on your hip? Huh? Guy's got a gun, Reagan.

He does? Well, let's go toss him.

No.

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?

Shut up. Hands in front.

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.

What do you mean?

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.

I think you're stuck with the role of bad cop.

Which is ironic since I'm the only one in the family who isn't.

[walks into Allison's hospital room, sees her crying] What's going on here?

She was asking what happened to her boyfriend, I didn't know what to tell her.

So you told her?

I didn't know what to say...

[Annoyed] Wait outside.

[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.

What is it?

Hold on. I'm going to show you. [goes to locker] You can always use an extra pair of collar brass.

Thanks Danny.

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]

Are those grandpa's?

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.
