BERNIE quotes from Stingers

PETER

I'm not wearing a wire

MAC

Then how can we back you up

PETER

From a distance

MAC

I don't like it

PETER

I'm playing it safe

That’s a matter of opinion

MAC

You're aiding and abetting a robbery I'm not even sure if it's the right way to go

PETER

Were not arresting anyone... I'm um…. bonding. Isn't that what you wanted

then take em to a footy match

Come on we're on a roll. I'm in on a robbery, thumped a cop

MAC

I want you to wear a wire

Peter, where are you off to?

PETER

Somewhere dark and quiet with cold beer, where I can lick my wounds and dream about boats...

Boats?

PETER

You treat 'em right and they whisper sweet nothings in your ear and rock you gently to sleep...

I hate to think you two are breaking the cardinal rule and socializing together when you’re off duty.

PETER

Come on Bernie, you know we’ve hardly got a social word for one another.

Yeah well who ever said that business and pleasure don't mix was right on the money.

MAC

Absolutely.

PETER

No question.

MAC

Night Bernie.

PETER

See you.

MAC

But what if he knows you’re a cop?

OSCAR

I’ll take the risk.

MAC

We’ve got nothing to loose? (Looks at Bernie)

Except Oscar! All right, okay Mac. He's to have back up at all time, and wear a wire.

MAC

You’re sounding more and more like me.

Don't push me.

MAC

No, no, I approve, I approve.

Shut up Bernie, let me finish. You see I’ve uncovered one of your undercover dudes and he’s on his knees right now. Praying to Christ that I don’t get any more pissed off than I already am right now. You their Bernie? Oh don’t go all-quiet of me mate.

So how do we resolve this?

Well I’m glad you asked that Bernie, I really am you see it’s real easy, 5 minutes, no chopper and you’ve got a man down. Isn’t that what you say? Isn’t that what the copper’s say Bernie, we’ve got a man down?

Look, Murray I’m hearing you on this but-

But! Oh Bernie, it’s the big B word that’s the problem with you guys, you won’t listen to me.

Murray listen!

First you want me to talk, now you want me to listen well you listen. 5 minutes, no chopper your man goes down, another 5 minutes... let’s see which will it be... the yuppie, or the drug dealer, eenie, meeni miney, moe. Bernie you still their Bernie?

Yeah I am here.

Just one more thing mate. (bangs the phone down on the hook)

(Radios Mac in the Com-Vee) Van 1.

MAC

Van 1.

I think they’ve uncovered Church.

MAC

Oh No…!

OSCAR

What?

MAC

They’ve uncovered Church.

Oh Oh, ooh, oh god, oh yeah!

Oh ohhh….

ANGIE

Join the Police Force and listen to people screwing! (Laughing) Not my idea of a fun afternoon!

MAC

(Laughing as well) I don’t think it’s hers either!

ANGIE

Doesn’t sound like it. Haven’t heard a peep out of her.

ANGIE

Van 1.

Angie it’s Rocca, it’s the airport route that’s going to be hit but Phillips could still change it.

ANGIE

Okay, yep.

I’ll keep you posted. (Hangs up)

(Through the microphone in the hotel) I’ve gotta get back to the office, I just need a quick shower.

MAC

No he’s getting into the shower, it can’t be him. (A modem is heard.) Oh what was that?

ANGIE

What? (She puts the head set back on, more beeping noises.) It’s a modem!

MAC

But he’s still in the shower! It’s not him.

It’s her!
