Crockett quotes from Miami Vice

Just keep me as your number one lady. Promise?

Crockett

You ain't my number one nothing toots. You hiccup funny and you're right back here.

Oh, I love it when you scold me.

Crockett

My advice to you is after this is done, vacate Miami.

Hey, that's real nice. A girl could always use some friendly advice.

Crockett

Technical difficulties, guys?

Switek

Nah, we're just working some of the bugs out of the system.

Excuse me, please. Can I help you?

Crockett

Yeah, we'd like to see Benny.

Benny ain't here.

Castillo

Find him, please. We'll wait.

Find him?! What do I look like, a tour guide?

Crockett

Just find him! We'll talk about what you look like later.

Gina

I went to Raimando's last week. Remember Nick, the maître d'?

Crockett

Yeah, how is Slick Nick?

Gina

He misses you. I promised him I'd bring you by this weekend.

Crockett

Uh, this weekend, um..

Gina

But if you're in the mood for some home cooking, that could be arranged too.

Crockett

Gina, this weekend's gonna be a little rough.

Gina

You just keep me around for an occasional pit stop until something better comes around. Feels really great, let me tell you, Sonny.

Crockett

Gina, that's not fair.

Gina

That's right. It's not fair at all. Just stay out of my life.

How do you go from this tranquility to that violence?

Crockett

I usually take the Ferrari.

New Bren-10's pretty nice, eh Burnett?

Crockett

It's all right.

Got the Eagle inside, you want to try it?

Crockett

Some other time, Kern.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Crockett

Been pretty busy.

Still keeping in touch with the Cazadores?

Crockett

That bunch of daisies? [laughs scornfully] I'm putting together a whole new group of people. Men that take life seriously. 200 miles out there, there's men sitting in nuclear submarines just waiting to put us in their crosshairs. Who's gonna protect us, mister? The Army? They're a bunch of toy soldiers. Half-breeds! Women! Homosexuals! That's who is protecting our country!

Tubbs

Sonny, who was Mike Orgel?

Crockett

Don't run around me, Tubbs.

Tubbs

What's gotten into you, man? You got a problem, and I'm just tryin' to help you with it.

Crockett

Is that what you call it? What'd you do, pull Freed's jacket?

Tubbs

Look, I wouldn't have had to pull his jacket if you'd have just been straight with me.

Crockett

It's none of your business.

Tubbs

Excuse the hell out of me. We happen to be involved in an operation. And if something is going down between you and our middleman, then I need to know it!

Crockett

There's nothing going down. You don't need to know anything. And where the hell do you come off demanding that I bare my soul to you? You're my partner, not my priest!

Tubbs

Hey, hey, hey! Don't be copping no attitude, man, 'cause I don't need to hear it. You wanna drop the friendship, and just be partners, so be it.

Crockett

So be it.

Tubbs

Solid.

Crockett

[About Mike] I didn't stick up for him. He was my friend. I failed him. I couldn't find a way to handle it.

Tubbs

You had the right feelings.

Crockett

(frustrated) Yeah, but I didn't do anything about it.

Tubbs

What could you do, man? You didn't know how. They don't teach that in the academy. You learn it in the street, in the world, in our hearts. Where I know you have it.

Crockett

I don't know.

Tubbs

You better know. 'Cause I don't pass up beautiful girls like Michelle for nothin' less.

Crockett

You know something, Tubbs?

Tubbs

What?

Crockett

You ain't half bad.

Tubbs

Ditto. Now you... You can drive your tired partner home.

Crockett

Come on.

Let's you and me have a drink. Man to man. That's right, Crockett. I'm a real man. A real man makes mistakes. I made one with Mike. And I've paid. A real man thinks. And he changes. A real man uses his brains. If he's lucky, after a couple of years, he gets wisdom. But you... You still want to hang that rap on me. Well, buddy, I found more ways to hang that rap on myself than you or the devil will ever know about!

Crockett

Is that why you've tried to catch a bullet for years? What's that? Adjustment?

Forgive me, Sonny. Say you forgive me! Please!

Crockett

Come on, Evan.

Make me happy, Sonny. Make me happy! I'm so damn sorry!

Crockett

Evan, come on.

Crockett

[To Evan, who's dying] Why'd you have to do this?

My decision. Good or bad. Maybe I wanted to prove something. Maybe not. Like Orgel.

Crockett

Orgel made his own decision. Evan? Hang on. Evan!

Now it's your turn, Sonny.

Crockett

Vietnam, Cambodia, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Everglades. Bet I've soaked up more swamp than Elvis.

Tubbs

Look on the bright side of things, man. At least nobody's trying to make shoes out of you. Yet.

Crockett

If the supplier can't deliver...

Tubbs

Then Rivillas' customers start to shiver.

Crockett

This guy is a nut case.

Tubbs

Yeah? Maybe he even keeps a pet alligator at his place of residence.

Tubbs

[On a computer, "Lorraine"] This thing's a little weird.

Crockett

If it's only a little weird, it definitely won't work.

[Talking to Gina] Ninety percent of all cops never discharge their weapons. They go about their jobs, nobody gets hurt. Then there's the cowboy. [Turns to Crockett] How many shooting hearings have you had? Ten? How many men have died?

Crockett

Only the bad guys, Gallo.
