[after unpacking the gift that comes with opening a new bank account] This is a teddy bear. I'm a tough policeman.
S2 E16Vengeance Is Mine
S2 E17Sweet Sixteen and Dead
Hooker, what the Colonel did for chicken, Romano will do for cookies.
You said that this was an accident. Now, if this was an accident, how come the police are involved?
'Cause it was a man-made accident and I wanna nail that man.
I just hate leaving Eddie Pearl here alive.
Hey Gordie, give in to that feeling, and the Boulevard poison that took Kelly will make a victim out of you, too, if you don't end up back in jail first.
Father, I've never met Star, but I know her. I've seen the places she's been and the kinda human being she's trying to become. And believe me, there's nothing I want more than to protect her. But she's gotta help me do that.
S2 E18Raw Deal
[Reading a business card found in Connors' effects] Gamblers Anonymous. Sam Miller. Looks like Connors has other problems in addition to dealing dope.
Well, at least this one he was trying to shake. Shall we check it out?
I guess so. It's a long shot, but it's all we got.
What better place to check on a long shot? Gamblers Anonymous is the last refuge of the longshot bettor. Let's roll, Junior!
[Pressing down on the bar as Manny tries to benchpress up, pinning him] Getting heavy, Manny?
I can't hold this much forever!
There's a flood of cocaine pouring into my beat, destroying the people I'm supposed to protect. Hopheads with their brains fried by Peruvian snow. They're mugging and robbing decent citizens so maggots like you can stay in business.
[Straining under the weight] I mean it, man, I'm losin' it!
Willy Stack was making the buy for you, wasn't he?
I don't deal no more!
I think you do. Willy Stack doesn't have the contacts in this town to sell dope in the streets. But you, scum, you got a load of lost souls waiting to sop up the poison you peddle.
[Discussing Nancy Winters] Besides, all those G. A. do-gooders are ex-sickos. Someday she's gonna sit in on one hand, and I'm gonna own her body and soul.
[Romano sticks out his hand to Nancy Winters, but she doesn't shake it] Don't take it personally, junior, it's me she doesn't like.
Your partner has a way with words. 'Doesn't like' is his way of saying 'used to love'.
S2 E19Requiem for a Cop
Were those people squatting or were they paying rent to live in that rat invested fire trap?
[Romano hands Hong a beat up and burned cassette tape] This was in Max Silver's telephone answering machine at the time of the fire.
I was gonna toss it out. Hooker said that if anybody could get anything off of it, you could. But I guess Hooker was exaggerating.
Hooker does not exaggerate. If there are any words in here, I will get 'em out.
[driving a police black and white] Junior, I got a hunch we're carrying a bomb.
We can't dump it here.
Hit the reds.
[Romano turns on the siren]
S2 E20The Hostages
How old are you, seventeen?
[angrily] Bingo! Give the man a prize.
Hooker, uh, can't you ever take 'no' for an answer?
Not when 'yes' makes more sense.
Let me put a couple of my men through the windows now.
Just because the D.A. is willing to play Russian Roulette with their lives, doesn't mean we should.
