Nash Bridges quotes from Nash Bridges

Nash Bridges

Don't you run from me! Sid, you son of a bitch! Sid, I got a rule: anybody I have to chase more than fifty yards gets an ass whoopin'!

Nash Bridges

Well, try this one for a theory and see if it blows your skirt up.

Nash Bridges

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to suggest Elvis is still in the building.

Nash Bridges

[to Harvey, wearing a shirt he borrowed from Evan] Nice shirt. you don't often see that color... outside of bowling alleys.

Nash Bridges

Why do you think that bastard ran this way?

Nash Bridges

You know what's amazing? Not only do you come up with these schemes, you actually follow through with them.

Nash Bridges

You know, I remember a time when I used to make you laugh. Now all I do is piss you off. Why is that?

Lisa Bridges

You want the whole laundry list?

Lisa Bridges

Starting with A for anniversaries you missed or where your pager went off. Or we can go to B for booze. Or we can jump right to W for women. You know, you should take a good look at your own life before you come over here passing judgement on mine!

Evan Cortez

This is a nice ride. I've never seen a car like this. What is it?

Nash Bridges

This is a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. The reason you've never seen one is because they only made 14 of them.

Care to tell us what happened, Joe?

Joe Dominguez

Who cares if his father's a president of the San Francisco bank?

Humor me. I care.

Nash Bridges

Let me get this straight - you pepper-sprayed him for illegal parking?

Joe Dominguez

Yes.

Joe Dominguez

He came at me. And I exhausted all proper procedures, A.J.

Nash Bridges

[smirking] I'm sorry I missed that one.

Joe Dominguez

He comes at me saying he knows Kung Fu and that crap. He went down in flames like a twelve o'clock high.

Nash Bridges

Oooh, you bad. [Laughs again]

Joe Dominguez

And that's when he twisted his knee. The funny thing is, he'll probably get a disabled placard now.

Are you two through yet? The I.R. went straight to the chief. And you, carnal, have the distinction of being the only cop I know of ever to get kicked out of traffic.

Joe Dominguez

What about my pension? What about my hog? I kinda liked it.

Your hog? Forget your Harley!

The chief made me take you back.

Nash Bridges

Oh, no!

Joe Dominguez

Got anything out at the airport? Unloading/loading that kinda thing?

You wish. No. We got you back all to ourselves.

Joe Dominguez

Ah, you wanna handle this one?

Nash Bridges

I don't know. A man on a cable car with a set of wings holding a hand grenade... this is your thing, isn't it?

You realize what just happened?

Nash Bridges

[as they all hide behind a car from a rooftop assassin] Yeah - somebody's trying to kill us.

I found you just like I was supposed to.

Nash Bridges

What? What the hell you talking about?

I'm your guardian angel.

Joe Dominguez

Oh, great - we could use one.

[to Joe] I said I was his guardian angel; you, you're on your own.

Nash Bridges

:[as a suspicious man pushing an ice cream cart approaches then, after just earlier missing multiple assassins] Freeze, bubba, right there!

[after reaching down into the cart] Who? Me?

Nash Bridges

You. Take it out real slow.

[after pulling out a popsicle] If you don't want cherry, I got root beer.

Nash Bridges

[after putting his gun down] No, I'll take cherry.

Joe Dominguez

I'll take root beer. Unless you got a fudgesicle.

What is your relationship like with the people that work for you?

Nash Bridges

Good.

No problems?

Nash Bridges

We have our issues, but we generally work through them. I respect them and I think they respect me.

You were involved in a shooting yesterday. You killed a man.

Nash Bridges

I killed a man, yes. I also saved another man's life.

Do you want to talk about it?

Nash Bridges

What's to talk about?

You tell me.

Nash Bridges

[sighs] Tommy Luck was a bad man, and his children will no longer have a father. And I did that. [pause] Like I said, he was a bad man. Then I went home to my father, and that's a whole other story.

Your father lives with you?

Nash Bridges

Yeah, he's great. [starts laughing, remembering] He's got this uh, this pinball machine, and he woke me up about 3:30 in the morning the other day playing the damn thing. What a pain in the ass! [pause] At the time. But I look back on it now and it's a fond memory.

Did you tell your father what happened to you yesterday?

Nash Bridges

Nah, I spare him the details. [pauses, looks at therapist] ...what?

I get the feeling that you show a lot of concern for other people's feelings, but you haven't told me yet how you feel. How do you feel? [long pause] Can you tell me how you feel, Inspector?

Joe Dominguez

Wish I had as good a relationship with my wife as you have with your ex wife.

Nash Bridges

divorce her. [laughs]

Joe Dominguez

[as they are being shot at by a pursuing vehicle] You know, if you drive a little slower I might be able to hit something.

Nash Bridges

Yeah? Well, if you'd hit something I might be able to driver a little slower!
