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 E17Sweet Sixteen and Dead
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.
[quietly] I'll get you both out of here.
We know you will.
This may be the only time in my life I'll ever be glad you're a cop.
[on phone] This is Lt. Decker. I'm calling to see if you and I can't find a way to work this out without anybody getting hurt.
[on other line] You must be one of the yo-yos they bring in when they want the bad guys to give up. Well, you forget that.
S2 E21Payday Pirates
[slamming Lou the tattooist against the wall and grabbing his face] Now listen, you. I got a friend in the hospital because of this guy. Now you tell me his name right now or I'm gonna play tic-tac-toe all over your face. You understand?
Ohh-kay, so I'm not an expert stock car driver like you were. But I'm also not the only cop who's wrecked a police car. Everybody makes mistakes.
Yeah, but when a cop make mistakes, lives are on the line.
