Fay Furillo quotes from Hill Street Blues

Bernstein

Are you kidding? Frank, there's a lynch mob out there.

Furillo

I know there's a lynch mob out there. I think I can use it.

Furillo

How could you just quit?

Fay

Well, I figured I didn't have much of a choice when he called me into his office and stood up behind his desk, naked from the waist down!

Belker

I'm supposed to spend four whole days giving some Hollywood dirt bag some girl scout tour of this precinct?

Furillo

Precisely.

Belker

[walks out into hallway to greet his Hollywood charge] C'mon, spittoon face.

Fay

Is he here? Please tell me he's here!

Furillo

Who?

Fay

Frank, junior. He's missing!

Furillo

What do you mean "missing"?

Fay

We had a fight at breakfast. See, he wanted to go camping next weekend with the Benjamins and I told him he couldn't, and he stormed out of the house in a kind of Mediterranean rage he could have only inherited from- [stops short]

Furillo

Anything wrong?

Fay

[after a wino threw up on her] My best pair of boots just got saluted by one of your wine stewards!

Furillo

Whatever happened to serious journalism?

Davenport

It died years ago, Furillo, at the hands of a blow dryer.

Furillo

[referring to being ill from the bad Chinese] If I die, promise me you'll sue?

Davenport

Count on it.

Furillo

And if you get the job?

Davenport

I won't make any decision without talking to you, Pizza Man. Anyway, I probably won't get it.

Furillo

You probably will.

Esterhaus

Well, it appears that a pair of our detectives were involved in a bit of street theater… their thespian exuberance got somewhat carried away.

Furillo

Our detectives?

Esterhaus

Yes, John LaRue shot Neal Washington.

Furillo

[on their wedding night] You think I could get a kiss, Mrs. Furillo?

Davenport

The name's Davenport.

Furillo

[surprised, but calm] I can live with that.

Furillo

I know what you did to Officer Renko, Lieutenant, and I know what Officer Hill did to you.

Yeah, well, everything's okay. I squared with both of them.

Furillo

That's not the point. If you'd been on my roster you'd have been out the next day. We don't have any "wild wests" show up here and we don't have any freelancers. You operate under this precinct you're gonna clear procedure and you're going to go by the book. Understood?

Gotcha.

Furillo

That's the "B" answer. The "A" answer is "Yes, Captain!"

Furillo

[about Faye meeting with Joyce] Maybe just the two of you. You're going to have to get together and come to terms sooner or later.

Okay! She can call me! I'm in the book!…Under "Furillo…"

Davenport

I, uh, thought we might have lunch today.

Furillo

You're on.

Davenport

How's noon?

Furillo

I'll make a reservation at the Galley.

Davenport

I was thinking more about room service.

Fay

You know there are fathers, and then there are fathers. As it stands right now, my little girl isn't going to have any kind of father at all.

Esterhaus

Fay.

Fay

I'd consider it an honor if you'd be her godfather. I mean if you could be there for her when she needs someone to look up to. 'Cause I gotta tell you honestly, I can't think of another man in the world I would prefer her looking up to than you, Mr. Philip Freemason Esterhaus.

Hunter

My sun is rising considerably further to the east these days, Henry.

Goldblume

Buffalo?

Furillo

She's Vietnamese.

Goldblume

No kidding? Where'd you meet her?

Howard

Uh, at my Confucian studies seminar. I have bursitis.
