Miami Vice quotes

Tubbs

How do you feel?

Crockett

About finding him?

Tubbs

Yeah.

Crockett

Frankel, 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.

Crockett

Even? 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.

Crockett

Get 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.

Crockett

Get 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.

Crockett

I may be short-circuited a little, but I know this game.

Maybe we could deal together.

Crockett

Ah, 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.

Crockett

Name's Burnett.

Yeah, whatever.

Crockett

That's B-U-R-N-E-double T.

Crockett

Did I miss something?

Where you been? I've been waiting for you.

Crockett

Business, darling.

Nobody keeps me waiting. Nobody.

Crockett

So 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!

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?

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.

Switek

[To Tubbs] You know, you look better without a beard.

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.

Those wankers can't tell one metalhead from another. To them, we all look alike.
