What's your fantasy relationship, Crockett? Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am, then the chick turns into a TV set so you can watch Monday Night Football?
CrockettSo glad I got this assignment. You're such a nice person.
CrockettEvery time I hear one of you rock stars start crying the blues about that lonely life on the road, it makes me want to throw up.
I suppose you know all about it.
CrockettNo, I don't know nothing. I'm just a dumb cop.
CrockettI've got a kid.
What flavor?
CrockettBoy, Billy. He's eight.
So, uh.. When do I get to meet him?
CrockettDo you know what it means?
I ain't afraid of no kid.
CrockettYou can't really be worried about a bunch of hookers on cassette?
They're not all prostitutes. You said so yourself.
CrockettYou think hookers on a video-dating service is my idea of a hot date?
Maybe I'll sign up myself.
CrockettNow there's an idea.
Maybe you should send her roses.
CrockettHell, I'll be lucky if I'm not sued. I can see the headlines now; "Undercover cop slugs innocent woman after assault with sex toy."
Caitlin Davies's new smash jumps two this week to number five.
CrockettTwo slots?
Not bad for a washed-up has-been, huh?
CrockettWhat the hell was all that about?
Business as usual. God, I'd forgotten how odious it can all be.
CrockettYeah, you won't get an argument out of me, but that's not what I'm talkin' about.
CrockettWell, at least they caught my good side, my chivalrous side — if a bit Neanderthal.
A bit? How much worse does it get?
CrockettOkay, one more time. I'm really sorry.
I know. And I love you, Sonny, but this is drivin' me stark ravin'.
CrockettI didn't know it was so important to you. I mean, the-the music I understand, but the-the business side..
It's not.. It is. Look, I despise all the phony crap that goes with it, but I have to put up with it, because it allows me to do the work that I love to do best. I'm a singer. I could sing in the shower for myself, but I get so much more satisfaction when people can hear me. To get airplay, I have to co-operate with the business people.
CrockettYou have the right to remain silent.
Don't tell me you're a cop! That's disgusting.
CrockettAnything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Can't we discuss this like civilized human beings?
CrockettYou have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
I know it's different worlds, Sonny, but tell me we can make it work.
CrockettOr die tryin'.
How do you feel?
CrockettAbout finding him?
Yeah.
CrockettFrankel, a couple of nights before Hackman killed him, we stopped into this bar on the way home and Frankel saw a guy in there he'd been trying to put away a couple times on rape charges. The guy had beaten him both times. Frankel said he wanted to take him out in the alley and beat the living hell out of him. He said he figured if he felt that way, maybe he had a year left in him as a good cop. I promised myself I'd quit before I got to that point. I hope it's not happening.
Looks like we're even.
CrockettEven? No. Not even close.
I guess I'm busted. You enjoying your stay on the island? How do you like the place? Took me a few weeks to get everything set up, you know. I had to figure out where I wanted to retire, find a house, furnish it, get some of my stuff sent down. I'd hate to leave. I'm just getting comfortable.
CrockettGet up.
I'm afraid I got other plans, Crockett. Plans I made with the local judge and the police, which involve their pensions. See, I'm really a very altruistic guy.
CrockettGet up.
No way. No way, I sure as hell know the same way you couldn't let an innocent man be executed, that you can't shoot an unarmed man.
Crockett(Shoots him) Wrong.
Maybe we could deal together.
CrockettAh, I don't think so. I don't deal with dirty cops.
Look who's talkin'. You're good, Crockett. But you're not that good. You start 'em up.
CrockettName's Burnett.
Yeah, whatever.
CrockettThat's B-U-R-N-E-double T.
CrockettDid I miss something?
Where you been? I've been waiting for you.
CrockettBusiness, darling.
Nobody keeps me waiting. Nobody.
CrockettSo have another bottle of Champagne. Maybe you'll think I was on time.
You bastard. You're nothing but a punk in a silk suit!
Sonny, don't you recognize me?
CrockettUh, you're Cooper.
Sonny, it's me, Rico.
CrockettRico?
Yeah.
CrockettYeah. Yeah, sure. I know you. You're Tubbs.
Yeah.
CrockettAnd you're a cop.
