Det. StavrosWait a minute, Lieutenant, what is this? I'm not Donnelly's partner, Alessi is.
The hell you're not! When one man in this precinct comes under suspicion, the entire unit becomes Donnelly's partner. Now look, we got two days to polish his badge and ours. Because on Wednesday, the Internal Affairs shooflies, they're gonna be all over us like a groom on a honeymoon. And let me tell you something: we all better be virgins or have a pretty good story.
What are you doing?
Det. StavrosT.L.C., eh, Tender Loving Care for my new plant.
Oh. Well, could you put a little TLC into a list of every burglary in eh, in the last two years?
Det. StavrosYou want him picked up?
Well, I'd prefer him six feet under, but I'd settle for a pickup.
I see you got a new plant.
Det. StavrosYeah. Shirley's lonely.
Oh really? Eh, tell me, how could you tell?
Det. StavrosWell, her leaves are drooping down. And, eh, she's not her same gay, vibrant, effervescent, ebullient self.
Ebullient self, huh? Well, she might have, eh, heartburn. Did you ever think of that?
Det. StavrosThat's why I got Sam.
[while talking about the first death] Yeah, the usual not-so-hot-time-in-the-old-town-tonight. What time did he go off?
Det. StavrosAccording to the medical examiner the time of the subject's death was between one and two A.M. in the morning. Constant use of alcohol is indicated by hyperemia and irritative elements in the digestive tract mucosa.
You're kidding.
Det. StavrosBlood sugar concentration at the time of decease was 35 per cent.
35 per cent? Where's the decimal point?
Det. StavrosRight here in front of the "3".
In front of the three? [to Crocker] Would you tell him what the difference between 35 per cent is and point thirty five, oh, forget about it.
