Crockett quotes from Miami Vice

Tubbs

We were friends. No, we were more than that. Partners. You tried to kill me, man. Twice.

Crockett

Yeah, I know.

Tubbs

That's the problem, Sonny. That is the problem.

Gina

Don't tell me you're back!

Switek

He never worked Sundays before.

Trudy

And we were just getting used to the peace and quiet.

Tubbs

Lieutenant, look who's here. We think it's Crockett.

Crockett

Cute, Rico.

Tubbs

See you on the wanted posters, Sonny.

You should submit yourself to a psychiatric examination, after which your status will be re-evaluated.

Tubbs

Hey, don't look so glum, partner. It could've been worse.

Crockett

Right.

Tubbs

Hey look, you go see the psychiatrist, he checks you out, and you're back in business.

Crockett

Yeah, sure. I just listened to what everyone said in there. The things I've done, the things I can't remember. I can't believe that that was me. Jesus, Rico. What kind of a person am I?

Crockett

When anything went down my friends were always there for me. Rico.. God, I love that guy. But now he's afraid of me. Rico thinks, they all think that I could become Burnett again. And that scares me, too. Would you trust me? God, I'm not even sure if I trust myself anymore. What do you think, Doc? Am I ready for Bonkersville?

No. You've been through a terrible trauma, your fears are very real. It's just gonna take some time for your friends to come around.

Crockett

You think they will?

Yeah. But first, you have to take care of yourself. You need a vacation.

Tubbs

Hell of a vacation, huh?

Crockett

It's just another day at the beach, partner.

Crockett

[About Keith] You believe that? Do you believe what we just heard?

Tubbs

Yeah, kind of reminds me of you.

Causes and protests, man. That's just like lame stuff from the '60s.

Crockett

Yeah, idealism is for fat girls with guitars right?

You got it.

Crockett

Little fishies in the brook...

Yeah, right.

Crockett

...come and bite my little hook.

Paraffin seal. Nice work.

Crockett

How do you know about that?

Oh, we used to chuck them at Metallica concerts. Just kidding.

Ripping, man.

Tubbs

We even brought you some ammo.

Anthrax, Megadeth, Crumbsuckers...

Crockett

Yeah.

Honestly? You like this stuff, Crockett?

Crockett

Honestly? All my favorites.

Does this excite you, Detective?

Crockett

I'll tell you, what really excites me is the thought of you in a cell somewhere with all the fathers of the daughters that you've turned out. Now, that's exciting.

Billy's really upset, Sonny. This is the third time he's gotten in trouble at school.

Crockett

Did Bob talk to him?

He won't talk to Bob. That's part of the problem.

Crockett

Well, did you talk to him, before you guys decided to have the baby?

We didn't decide. It just kind of happened. I mean we're really thrilled about it, but it was an accident.

Crockett

Damn, Caroline. We're not teenagers anymore. For God's sake.

Oh, that's just great. You, of all people. You, with your swinging lifestyle, and your women, and your fast cars, come up here and judge me. For once in my life, just once, I want to do something without asking someone's permission, and you come down on me like a hammer. Well, I'm sorry, Sonny. I'm sorry I even called you.

Crockett

Look, I just thought it might have been a good thing to discuss the possibility with him. I mean, beforehand.

You're right. You're right, I should have talked to him. And now, it's too late. And he'll probably never forgive me for this. And I guess I'm just a terrible mother. Okay?

Crockett

Caroline, listen. Your hormones are all happening and you're blowing this thing all out of proportion.

Oh, I don't know.

Crockett

I'll talk to him. Come here. Take it easy. I'll talk to him. We'll make it work. So what do you say, you name this one Sonny?

Dad, why can't I come live with you?

Crockett

Billy, man, there's nothing I'd love more in the world than have you come live with me.

All right!

Crockett

No, no, no, come on, let me finish.

Tubbs

I've been thinking about Borbon. I must have driven a hundred miles, turning over and over and over in my head. At first, I was stunned by the absurdity, but then, I approached it from a different angle.

Crockett

Don't tell me, let me guess. You figured that if we could bring in Borbon, for once we can really make a difference?

Tubbs

Yeah. I mean, Borbon could blow the whistle on the cartel's major players. You think I'm being naive?

Crockett

No. No, Rico, I think you're being hopeful.

Tubbs

(Chuckles) Hey, come on, man, admit it. Wouldn't you just love to hear Borbon's little book of players, names, dates?

Crockett

Yeah man, I bet he could really give us the who's who in that dope social register.

Tubbs

You got it. I'm in it, if you are, partner.

Crockett

You know we're suckers, Rico. 'Cause this one ain't no trip to Cleveland. In fact, probably suicide.

Tubbs

So what? You wanna live forever?

Crockett

I'll probably have to tag along just to keep you from getting your butt shot off.

Crockett

(After Highsmith arrives home) Hiya, Chief.

Detective Crockett? What's going on?

Crockett

Well Chief, I just got a phone call from a man that says he has my partner. And if I don't come across with Borbon in 12 hours, he's gonna make Rico suffer and then kill him.

That's terrible. I can understand how badly you feel about that.

Crockett

Can you?

Yeah.

Crockett

That's good. 'Cause then you won't mind telling me where he is, will you?

Where he is? I wish I knew, believe me.

Crockett

(Chuckles) Well, I believe you know where he is. (Shows him an envelope) I just had a real interesting conversation with one of the great financial minds of Western world. Your accountant, Max Flynn.

You attempting to scare me? (Chuckles)

Crockett

Scare you? No. See, Max may be very good with numbers, but he's not exactly Mister Integrity. He sold out Borbon to Montoya, and then he sold out you to me. (Shows him a sheet) It's all right here. Every damn payment Montoya ever made to you.

That evidence was coerced. (Laughs) It's worthless in court, you should know that.

Crockett

No, no, I don't think it's worthless, not for a man like yourself. Not for a man with political ambitions, I think it would be very hard for the voting public to understand how a "public servant" pulling down what, 80K a year? Could have a second home in the Bahamas, a string of luxury cars, a pair of fillies that never even finished in the money.

You're burned out, Crockett, you know? (Chuckles) You're delirious. (Attempts to pull a revolver out of the drawer)

Crockett

(Slams the drawer on Highsmith's fingers, takes out the revolver) Yeah, you're right. I'm burned out. My brain is like Swiss cheese, I have no idea what I might do. (Cocks the revolver)

You're crazy.

Crockett

You've got it. (Points the gun at Highsmith) And if you don't tell me where those boys have my partner, I'm gonna turn that nice pretty wall right there into an expressionist painting.
