S1 E15Unfinished Business
Good night, Kelly.
Good night, Sergeant.
"He embarrassed the job"
And piss runs uphill, right, Captain? An you're a stand-up guy.
It's IAB - they can't find their own heads up their asses!
[opening lines]
Oh, Andy. Bobby Simone. Good to meet you.
Uh... yeah.
Hey, Lieutenant. It's no good. It's not gonna work out. I just met this new guy.
Simone?
Yeah. It's not gonna work out.
What happened?
Don't get me started. His attitude is all wrong. "How you doing?" That type of thing.
He asked you how you are doing?
Yeah. I can't... it's not going to work out.
Hey, how's it going?
I was just seeing Abruzzo. Is that the new detective?
[nods] Simone, what kind of name is that?
First or last?
If it was his first, he'd be a girl.
Last name... Simone, sounds French to me.
Yeah, maybe.
[into a phone] Hey, I went through a lot of trouble getting that red cock. I don't want to argue with you! You tell Billy that he can't come around my place anymore with his blue-barred cock! Okay... thanks.
I breed birds. Racing pigeons.
[to Sipowicz] Tell him you keep fish.
Assistant D.A. Costas, this is Detective Simone.
How do you do?
How do you do.
[to Simone] They gave you that address?
Yeah, she's working Seventh Avenue.
[to Simone] Must be interesting raising pigeons.
It's a lot of fun, gets you outdoors.
You guys and your hobbies.
Takes me 22 years to make second grade, this guy gets there shoving away squeegie-bums.
Okay, Baldwin. Your play.
[She gets up and is just about to walk off when Baldwin grabs her hand, stopping her. He gets up and places his hands on her stomach.]
I don't play, Nicole.
[Nicole looks at Baldwin's hands on her stomach, then turns to look at him. Baldwin places a hand on Nicole's cheek, then he picks her up bridal style to carry her to the bedroom for sex. Nicole, after being picked up by Baldwin, smiles at him as he carries her in his arms. After entering the bedroom, Baldwin puts Nicole down and they start to kiss.]
[Sees Andy in uniform at the crime scene and holds up his badge] All right, step aside! Homicide!
How long you been waiting to say that to me?
First thing I thought of when I woke up.
[Officer Akins, a rookie at the 15th Precinct, has detained a driver; Andy arrives on scene]
Whaddya got?
I'm about to write this guy up for being double-parked. When he comes out of the building he starts in on me. I gave him his warning, I told him he was gettin' outta line; when he wouldn't stop I put the cuffs on him.
When I get my turn?
I'll be right with you. [to Akins] He put his hands on you?
I think it was headed in that direction.
But it hadn't happened.
No.
[Andy goes over to the handcuffed driver]
Alright, what's your story?
I work for the medical lab. I come here every day to pick up the blood samples from the doctor's offices. It takes me thirty seconds. I walk in, I grab the box, and I walk out.
What'd you say to the officer?
I said "I'm tryin' to make a livin'."
That's it?
I tried to show the man respect when I first came out. I told 'im! I got over thirty stops to make, there's no place to park! I don't leave my car but for a minute! But he don't listen. He says, "It's too late." That's when I got mad.
Alright, step back for a second. [goes back over to Akins] That true what he said?
Pretty much.
What do you wanna do here?
What do you mean?
I mean do you want to create a situation? This is a workin' man. He's not stickin' nobody up. You're gonna cost him two days' wages with that ticket, and then when he gets mad you're gonna collar 'im?
Well, what should I have done?
You see him go inside, you wait. If he's in there for a while, then you write 'im up. If he comes right back out again, you talk to 'im. Tell 'im you're tryin' to keep traffic movin'. If he's a right guy, you be a right guy.
About how long do I wait while he's in the building?
[considers] Five minutes.
Sorry.
It's the kinda thing you get a feel for after a while.
What do I do now?
Give me his summons. [Akins hands it over] Now go over there, take the cuffs of 'im, tell 'im to have a nice day.
