Trunk quotes from Sledge Hammer!

Trunk

I sent Hammer home early and I got rid of every scrap of paper with Hammer's name on it. That guy won't even know Hammer exists. I wish I could say the same.

Trunk

Hammer, I haven't seen you this excited about TV since they colorized World War II footage.

Trunk

Hammer! I want you and Doreau to come into the precinct immediately. And I want you to make sure she does not get killed. It's okay if you do.

Trunk

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?

Hammer

You want me to kill the mayor.

Trunk

Hammer, this is Trunk. Have they hurt anyone?

Hammer

No.

Trunk

Have you hurt anyone?

Hammer

Not yet.

Trunk

Hammer, have you no compassion for what those people are going through?

Hammer

Of 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.

Hammer

You know, Captain, I never thought I'd go out like this. I always thought I'd live to see a nuclear war.

Trunk

You've got forty-six minutes left. It could still happen.

Hammer

Thanks, Captain.

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, you don't seriously believe that Hammer shot Hugo Victor in cold blood, do you?

Trunk

Doreau, what I can't believe is that Hammer shot him only once. Restraint is not one of Hammer's strong points.

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?"
