TV show quotes
Got any bad habits, Arnold? For instance, I crack my knuckles. It used to drive my mom nuts (his knuckles crack) Some people pick their nose, chew with their mouths open, use a pen knife to clean their fingernails in public.
So what? That's a crime now?
No, Arnold, that's not a crime. It's disgusting, but it's not a crime. Unless, of course, you use that same pen knife to mug someone.
What about the bag?
Man, I'm a specialist. Strictly cash and jewelry only. I'm not risking my life for some sweaty gym socks.
How much did you get away with?
20 bucks. Plus the watch. Probably like 80 bucks, total.
I'm gonna be honest with you, Arnold. You're probably the dumbest mugger I've ever met.
Why? What was in the bag?
Five million dollars. Those were some valuable gym socks.
No way Arnold did it. He's strictly small time. Muggings. Petty theft.
So he robs our John Doe and leaves behind a bag worth five mil.
Yep, I guarantee you he will regret that decision for a very long time.
Wait, you don't blame him, right? 'Cause he wanted to keep it?
I think he was very lucky that he had a girlfriend who pointed him in the right direction.
Yeah, that direction got him killed.
The men who stole those gems placed a tracking device on them. So they were probably tracking Heath's movements. The fact that he was bringing them to us didn't save his life, but it might've saved yours.
It's got all the auditory markers of an ass dial. You know, when your phone's in your back pocket and you make a call that you don't even know you're making. For instance, okay... my ass dialled my girlfriend once when I was out at a bar with some friends. Left, like, a 15-minute message, you know? I mean, it would've been really funny, except we were talking about her the whole time, and...
That's how she became your ex-girlfriend?
Well... yeah.
Clear out the ambient sound, see if there's anything useful underneath, and call me when you got something. With your fingers, not your ass.
Ted and Paul Kendricks. They're brothers. They were arrested a few years ago for trying to rob an ATM cash warehouse and use a plane as a getaway car. They served two years.
Jo: Just two years? How's that happen?
Well, their lawyer was Roland Carson.
What a coincidence.
Mac Taylor [to Roland Carson]: You, uh... you recognize anyone?
Should I?
They're the men who broke into your apartment last night. They're also former clients of yours. You care to explain that?
I've defended a lot of criminals, Detective. It's my job.
That's not an answer.
I don't know what else to tell you. Maybe you should ask one of them.
They're a little bit dead right now. Killed with a handgun registered to you.
Roland Carson [to Mac]: I have clients coming in and out of my apartment all hours of the day, as you know. Any one of them could have walked away with that gun.
Already preparing your defense theory? A little fanciful, even for you.
You think I set up the robbery? Hired former clients to have my own apartment broken into, my bodyguard shot and millions stolen from another client, then murdered my former clients with a gun that's easily traced back to me? That's what I call fanciful.
I'm not hearing a denial.
Roland Carson [to Mac]: This must be the highlight of your career, Detective... going after me.
It's not even an honourable mention.
So why would I risk my life for a few bucks? I charge more an hour than you make in a week.
As an errand boy for drug dealers and thieves.
Roland Carson [to Mac]: If you come after me, I will hit you and your department with a malicious prosecution suit that'll spin your head.
I'm still not hearing a denial.
Mac Taylor [about James Belson]: He must have checked himself out of the hospital right after Danny came to see him. Met up with the Kendricks brothers, killed them, then tracked Heath down.
That's a lot of activity for someone who just had abdominal surgery. He's going to need medical attention soon.
Well, he's got five million reasons to play through the pain.
Would you believe that this isn't what it looks like?
Not in the mood for your jokes, buddy. Put it down.
What are you gonna do, huh? Gonna shoot me in the back, Danny?
And not think twice about it, buddy, if it comes to it.
You ever think about that night, man, huh? You ever think about what it would've been like if you would've patted those guys down instead of me? If you would've been the guy with the flashlight in the backseat? And don't you even pretend that you would've seen that gun any better than me.
Doesn't matter, Jimmy. Now, put the damn gun down or I will shoot you.
Can I have the gems back now? My client would like to take possession.
Mac: They're evidence now. Sorry.
What the hell am I supposed to tell my client?
Well, you're a persuasive guy. Persuade them not to kill you.
