There she is.
Ben Edward's daughter? Hooker, she's beautiful!
And she's my goddaughter, don't you forget that, Romano!
S2 E8Deadly Ambition
So you wanted to be a hero...
BEBen Edwards
There's all kinds of reasons for ambition. I remember the day you took off that gold badge to climb back in that blue suit. I... [chuckles] I thought you were crazy.
I climbed to the top of the detective ladder. I found it empty. So I climbed back down, got back in touch.
206 Elm Drive is the address Stacy ran down on him. Do we give it to Holland, or what?
We're five blocks from Elm Drive...
The 'what' has it.
You tried too hard, Holland. To hard and too fast.
HDetective Holland
It all fell apart because you felt sorry for some crummy security guard.
That's the way it goes, Holland. You had informants, connections, a hot record of arrests and the wrong kind of ambition. [a beat] I've got friends.
S2 E9A Cry for Help
You got it?
DPDanny Perez
Yeah man.
Yeah man what?
DPDanny Perez
Yeah man... Sir.
Now you got it.
[about Vega] He's a cocaine cowboy on the run from some Dade County dope pushers for pulling rip-offs.
PMr. Perez
It's easy to blame the powder, but the truth is: it's the man who's weak.
Anybody who can figure that out, can kick the monkey.
[to Vega] You just got knocked off your horse, cowboy. For good.
S2 E10Thieves' Highway
[about Venus the Orangutan] Romano finally got himself a girlfriend I approve of.
ATAl Tanner
I didn't bring you all the way out here from Chicago for excuses, Vic! [moves over to Morgan, who is smiling] I got Morgan here for that!
[Morgan stops smiling]
S2 E11The Connection
[to Romano] What do you say now, Macho Man? Do we make a team or is your ego gonna force us out?
There's a young police officer down there. Walking a hair between life and death. The message has to be sent out loud and clear! [raises his voice] Nobody puts their hands on one of ours!
Sounds like you're buying in, Hooker.
I've already paid.
Rookies... what are we? Meat for your table? Numbers to make your arrest records look good?
Police work isn't black and white, Romano. It's a million shades of grey.
CChambliss
Look, Romano, we're sorry about the rookie.
The rookie's name is Clements. Tom Clements. And sorry isn't good enough!
What about the other students? Any witnesses as to how she got the stuff?
They couldn't or wouldn't tell me anything. Could be they're just afraid. Don't wanna get involved.
And while they're not getting involved, another kid like Cindy is buying a ticket to hell. Becoming another scrambled mind with a question mark for a future. Every chance I get, I'm gonna come down on the scum that deal this poison. Hit 'em hard. Make it hurt.
S2 E12The Fast Lane
1Y12 year old boy
You're Matt, right?
MKMatt King
Yeah.
1Y12 year old boy
I heard you got some good booze. Six dollars a quart.
MKMatt King
What? How old are you?
1Y12 year old boy
Twenty two, you wanna see my I.D.?
