Sledge Hammer quotes from Sledge Hammer!

In London the cops don't carry guns and criminals don't carry a gun. And London is a very safe city to live in.

Hammer

Yeah. Especially if you're a crook, and you've got a gun.

I'm afraid that blow to Detective Doreau's head has caused a behavioral imbalance. She's become excessively violent, irrational, and dangerous.

Hammer

That happened to me once. The day I was born.

Listen, Hammer, I've got some information for you about that cat burglar, the one who's pulling off all those jewel robberies.

Hammer

Hey, listen, forget it, okay. It's a sissy case.

Oh yeah? Well, uh, he's suspected of shooting a cop.

Hammer

There's a cat burglar who shot a cop. Now I'm mildly enraged.

Hammer, what do you have behind your back?

Hammer

What? Oh, the bowling ball. Well, actually, there's a very simple explanation.

Trunk

Yeah, he's found a new way to harm others.

Captain, I think we can get the professor to Springfield without using a plane. We'll use an alternative form of transportation that no one ever uses any more.

Hammer

That's a good idea, Doreau. We'll take a stagecoach. I'll ride shotgun.

Trunk

Hammer, I must congratulate you on apprehending those bank robbers. I just can't believe that you were able to get them to surrender their weapons by reading aloud from the collected works of Rob McKuen.

It's great.

Hammer

You know, some of them were weeping openly. The truth is, poetry is more effective than tear gas.

Hammer

TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT IM DOIng

Trunk

HAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMER

Trunk

According to our findings, Elizabeth Jenkins escaped six months ago from a home.

You mean, "a home"?

Trunk

That is correct. And apparently while there, she became obsessed with TV police shows. Upon escaping, Jenkins used falsified records to enroll herself in the police academy.

So, after being stationed at the 33rd, she naturally fixated on a cliched, macho cop like Ginsburg. And when he rejected her psychotic advances, she killed him.

Trunk

That's right. And then transferred here... where another, similar murder almost took place.

Hammer

Wait a minute! You're telling me that someone with serious mental problems was able to slip through our screening procedures and become a cop? How could something as obscene as that happen?

Trunk

That's not the question, Hammer. The question is, "how could it have happened again?"
