Sledge HammerHey, get back here! Don't you wanna finish the job? You lazy Commie! (after chasing off a foreign spy/assassin)
SledgeYou know, that's what I hate about newspapers in this country. They find out things, and then they write about them!
HammerThis is a precinct, not an encounter group. If a man and a woman have problems, they should settle them the way my wife and I did, with a divorce.
HammerDoreau, what are you doing? Cops can't go around making promises they can't keep. That right is reserved for the President
HammerThat was reckless, it was careless, it was totally irresponsible. And I loved it.
HammerThis whole thing has just complete sapped my self-confidence. I'm not a man any more. I'm indecisive. Well, actually, I don't know, maybe I'm not. No, I, I... am.
Doreau': Hammer, I cannot believe what you're saying. Incarcerate potential criminals at birth? What are you going to do, throw them in a baby prison?
HammerIf they resist arrest.
Hammer, you don't seem to understand my dilemma. I've been fighting with the city hall for over two months now. They're talking about making cutbacks. The mayor is threatening this entire department. Do you understand what I am saying?
HammerYou want me to kill the mayor.
Hammer [answers phone] Second National Bank, hostage speaking.
Hammer, this is Trunk. Have they hurt anyone?
HammerNo.
Have you hurt anyone?
HammerNot yet.
A crowd gathers near a building where a man on the ledge is threatening to jump
I'll get a bullhorn and try to talk him down.
HammerNo, no, I can handle this.
Hammer! [Hammer opens fire at the man, but missing and shooting off pieces of the ledge. The suicide jumper finally takes cover inside the building]
HammerAnother life saved and I still have one bullet left. Listen my bank is just around the corner, can we stop and I'll get some cash and then you can buy me breakfast.
Of all the officers I've recruited, there's something strangely appealing about you. I guess it's your callous disregard for human rights, your savage instinct, your chauvinism, your inability to treat women as equals.
HammerYeah, I'm quite a catch.
Hammer, have you no compassion for what those people are going through?
HammerOf course I do. I have suffered a sense of loss just like everyone else. I lost my luggage once. I was torn up about it for weeks.
HammerYou know, Captain, I never thought I'd go out like this. I always thought I'd live to see a nuclear war.
You've got forty-six minutes left. It could still happen.
HammerThanks, Captain.
Hammer, there's a report of gunfire in an apartment building a couple of blocks from here.
HammerWho needs coffee? That'll get me revved up!
Mr. Slag, I want to know if Inspector Hammer has mistreated you in any way.
[Slag holds up his hands, which are shackled]
What are these? Are these shackles really necessary?
Sledge HammerI'm just trying to make his stay in Hotel Hammer a little more uncomfortable.
Remove these shackles.
Sledge HammerYou don't want me to remove them.
Inspector Hammer!
[Slag smirks and holds up his hands. Hammer sighs and unlocks the shackles]
There. Does that feel better, Slag?
[Slag immediately starts throttling Perkins. As he chokes and gasps, Hammer stands by calmly]
Sledge HammerJust, uh, tell me if you want me to help you. You know, just say, "help me, Hammer" and I'll...
[He leans forward, as though trying to hear]
[manages to croak] Help.
[Hammer nods and draws his gun]
Sledge HammerAll right, heel, ratboy.
[Slag drops Perkins, and shrugs innocently]
