RRaul
There's something I don't understand. You people got all this room back there, so many that you don't even have to see each other if you don't want to, but you're always fighting over one little place in the back. For what?
S1 E18Made For Each Other
[Switek and Zito catch Izzy trying to rob store]
I'm no criminal. I mean, I never been convicted. I have a few indictments, man, but [Izzy strikes the counter with a tire iron] I'm a man of no convictions.
Hey, we Hispanics don't know the meaning of danger, but we're very familiar with the word COM-PEN-SA-TION.
You’re talking to a man who has withstood the finest interrogation techniques…electrical, mechanical, psychological…philosophical, European, domestic, commercial.
S1 E19The Home Invaders
LLady
Excuse me, please. Can I help you?
Yeah, we'd like to see Benny.
LLady
Benny ain't here.
Find him, please. We'll wait.
LLady
Find him?! What do I look like, a tour guide?
Just find him! We'll talk about what you look like later.
S1 E20Nobody Lives Forever
Where's your partner?
I think he went to the dentist.
Who's got the toothache, Crockett or Brenda?
Look here, Toyotas, Datsuns, Hondas. Even crooks are looking for good gas mileage.
Who's got the toothache, Crockett or Brenda?
I make it a point not to keep tabs on my partner's social register.
I went to Raimando's last week. Remember Nick, the maître d'?
Yeah, how is Slick Nick?
He misses you. I promised him I'd bring you by this weekend.
Uh, this weekend, um..
But if you're in the mood for some home cooking, that could be arranged too.
Gina, this weekend's gonna be a little rough.
You just keep me around for an occasional pit stop until something better comes around. Feels really great, let me tell you, Sonny.
Gina, that's not fair.
That's right. It's not fair at all. Just stay out of my life.
BBrenda
How do you go from this tranquility to that violence?
I usually take the Ferrari.

KKern
New Bren-10's pretty nice, eh Burnett?
It's all right.
KKern
Got the Eagle inside, you want to try it?
Some other time, Kern.
KKern
Haven't seen you in a while.
Been pretty busy.
KKern
Still keeping in touch with the Cazadores?
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!
Sonny, who was Mike Orgel?
Don't run around me, Tubbs.
What's gotten into you, man? You got a problem, and I'm just tryin' to help you with it.
Is that what you call it? What'd you do, pull Freed's jacket?
Look, I wouldn't have had to pull his jacket if you'd have just been straight with me.
It's none of your business.
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!
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!
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.
So be it.
Solid.
[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.
You had the right feelings.
(frustrated) Yeah, but I didn't do anything about it.
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.
I don't know.
You better know. 'Cause I don't pass up beautiful girls like Michelle for nothin' less.
You know something, Tubbs?
What?
You ain't half bad.
Ditto. Now you... You can drive your tired partner home.
Come on.
EEvan
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!
Is that why you've tried to catch a bullet for years? What's that? Adjustment?
EEvan
Forgive me, Sonny. Say you forgive me! Please!
Come on, Evan.
EEvan
Make me happy, Sonny. Make me happy! I'm so damn sorry!
Evan, come on.
[To Evan, who's dying] Why'd you have to do this?
EEvan
My decision. Good or bad. Maybe I wanted to prove something. Maybe not. Like Orgel.
Orgel made his own decision. Evan? Hang on. Evan!
EEvan
Now it's your turn, Sonny.
