Miami Vice Season 2 quotes

Crockett

Vietnam, Cambodia, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Everglades. Bet I've soaked up more swamp than Elvis.

Tubbs

Look on the bright side of things, man. At least nobody's trying to make shoes out of you. Yet.

Tubbs

[over the phone] That's TUBBS, T-U-B-B-S: Tough, Unique, Bad, Bold, and Sassy.

Crockett

If the supplier can't deliver...

Tubbs

Then Rivillas' customers start to shiver.

Tubbs

Hey you, you're out of your jurisdiction, you're out of your league, and you don't live in the neighborhood, so keep it moving! Chumps!

Crockett

This guy is a nut case.

Tubbs

Yeah? Maybe he even keeps a pet alligator at his place of residence.

Please, say hello to Lorraine.

Tubbs

Big deal. A computer. Every 12-year-old kid in Miami has one.

Tubbs

[On a computer, "Lorraine"] This thing's a little weird.

Crockett

If it's only a little weird, it definitely won't work.

[Talking to Gina] Ninety percent of all cops never discharge their weapons. They go about their jobs, nobody gets hurt. Then there's the cowboy. [Turns to Crockett] How many shooting hearings have you had? Ten? How many men have died?

Crockett

Only the bad guys, Gallo.

Crockett

So you're at this party with this dude..

Trudy

His name's David.

Crockett

Oh, yeah, that's right, David. And there's a lot of weed and blow there. Hell, you can't go to a party in Miami without tripping over it.

Trudy

Miami Vice. You're under arrest. Turn around and put your hands on the bar.

Baby, you're a cop?

Crockett

April fool.

Kid got a nice mother?

She's the sweetest, kindest, most beautiful woman I've ever known. Why?

Well, 'cause daddy ain't gonna live long drinking like that.

I mean, for the first time since we landed back in the world, I feel like a man. I got a wife, a kid, a business. I can hold my head up in the street.

Crockett

Is that what being a man is? Standing by and letting that girl get blown away, so that you can live high on the hill? What's happened to you, man? Where's your sense of right and wrong?

Crockett

Only obligation you've got is to yourself. If you can get up in the morning and look in the mirror and be proud of what you see, then you fulfill that obligation. If you can't, then you're worth nothing to nobody. Not to yourself, not to Julia, not to me, and certainly not to your son.

Crockett

The man I knew always did what it took, and it hurt sometimes, but he did it. Because that's the only thing that got us out of the jungle with our minds. There was no "me and I" in our unit. You and me, Robbie. You and me. We refused to throw those POWs out of the choppers. No matter what the rest of the world was saying, we did the right thing. That's what being a man is all about. Not standing by and letting Doss and your father put holes in a young girl.

Are you in charge? Cause I can't get a straight answer from this one. Is Dorothy being accused of murder? If you know where she is, I want her and my son back. And if you don't, tell me! Cause I'll get a private detective to find her, who'll do a lot better job than the Dick Tracy club you got here.

Crockett

Why? You having trouble finding somebody new to smack around? (Pushes him) I'll give you a reason to hit someone, pal! Or maybe it doesn't turn you on when somebody hits back?
