Tubbs quotes from Miami Vice

Tubbs

Sonny, don't you recognize me?

Crockett

Uh, you're Cooper.

Tubbs

Sonny, it's me, Rico.

Crockett

Rico?

Tubbs

Yeah.

Crockett

Yeah. Yeah, sure. I know you. You're Tubbs.

Tubbs

Yeah.

Crockett

And you're a cop.

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?

Tubbs

Hell of a vacation, huh?

Crockett

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

Tubbs

We don't know who stopped him from escaping.

Castillo

I know.

Tubbs

I just wanted to bring you up to date.

Castillo

Stay. I've always tried to do what's right. That's the code I live by. Do you understand that?

Tubbs

Yes.

Crockett

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

Tubbs

Yeah, kind of reminds me of you.

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.

Tubbs

So how you feeling?

Great. This is how I get my kicks.

It's too late for us, isn't it?

Tubbs

Woman...

I'm sorry, Rico. I'm so very sorry.

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

Ready?

Tubbs

One thing. You know, the Feds are out protecting Borbon, if we go against them and go get him, then we can hang it up. No pension, buddy.

Crockett

So what? I never figured to make 65 anyway.

Hey, what the hell have you done?

Tubbs

Just swatted an insect. You got a problem with it?

Yeah, I got a problem. Borbon was working for us. He was gonna give us names.

Crockett

But not the name, right Baker? This whole damn mess was a setup from the get.

What a couple of lightweights. What, do you think this is cops and robbers? It's not about your personal sense of justice.

Crockett

What's it about, Baker? Is it about protecting dictators and letting drug dealers go free? Is that it?

Take a look at the map, Crockett. Real estate's turning red all over this hemisphere. Your brand of law and order went out with Wyatt Earp. There's only two things that count, American interests and anything that's counter to 'em.

Tubbs

You're what's counter to it, Baker. You and all those slick deal-making lawyers.

I don't make policy. I enforce it.

Crockett

And cover it up when it goes wrong.

That's right, and I got carte blanche, babe. I could shoot you right now, easy. Pin it on Borbon. No one's ever gonna ask any questions.

Crockett

Do it. If you got the stones.

Hey, punk! Cowboy! I'm gonna have your badges for this. That's a promise! (Crockett and Tubbs toss their badges on the ground) It's not over, Crockett.

Martin Castillo

You don't have to do this.

Crockett

It's been a long time coming, anyway.

Castillo

I'll back you.

Tubbs

Thanks, Lieutenant, but there's no other way.

Castillo

(Picks up their badges) Think about this.

Crockett

What are you doing here? I figured you'd be halfway to New York by now.

Tubbs

Everything always takes longer than you think.

Crockett

Well, we had one hell of a run, didn't we, partner?

Tubbs

Yeah, we sure did, Sonny.

Crockett

So, you really gonna go back up to the big bad Bronx?

Tubbs

Yeah, it looks that way. How about you?

Crockett

I don't know. Somewhere further south. Somewhere where the water's warm and the drinks are cold and I don't know the names of the players. I'm gonna miss you, man.

Tubbs

I'm gonna miss you too, Sonny.

Crockett

Can I give you a ride to the airport?

Tubbs

Why not?

Crockett

In my stolen car.

Crockett

Hey, Tubbs, you ever consider a career in southern law enforcement?

Tubbs

Maybe. Maybe.
