Gee Giardello quotes from Homicide: Life on the Street

Gee

What I'm saying is, this isn't Italy. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in Baltimore, do as I tell you to.

Bolander

How was it?

Bayliss

How was--how--how--was what?

Bolander

Your date with Emma. I heard you took her to an art gallery.

Lewis

DATE?! You had a date with Emma?! You went behind my back with Emma?!

Bayliss

Me? Meldrick, look at-- No, no, I would not do that.

Howard

Hey Bayliss, Beau says you slept with Emma Zoole in a cuffoon or something?

Lewis

What is she-- You went to bed with Emma?

Bayliss

No, Meldrick, no. We did not go to a bed together.

Lewis

You slept with MY Emma?!

Gee

I thought I smelled sex around here.

Bolander

What is a cuffoon?

Howard

I don't know. Beau was laughing so hard when he said it, he had to sit down.

Lewis

You are a disloyal son of a bitch and I don't want anything to do with you.

Ballard

My cat did it, my dog did it, the devil made me do it.

Gee

Then check. If the devil is behind this, I want his ass in the box.

Bayliss

I killed a suspect.

Gee

The suspect drew his weapon first?

Bayliss

Yeah.

The suspect fired first?

Bayliss

Yeah.

The suspect attempted to use deadly force and you responded. It's a clean shoot.

Bayliss

I killed a man.
