Gabriel and Pope in “Homewrecker”

So on paper, you transfer everybody from Priority Homicide to the counter-terrorism bureau...

Whoa, whoa, whoa....you guys don't have the mandated training for that.

See sir, that's the best part. The federal government will actually pay you to bring us up to code; thousands of dollars per person which you could add to your budget shortfalls.

Well, that's...that's fantastic! So officially, you would all be transferred to the counter-terrorism bureau, which would satisfy the state, while in actuality I could just loan you right back to Priority Homicide.

Exactly, sir. Because you only need more people in counter-terrorism when the threat level goes up. I mean, if you were to transfer them there permanently, you'd just be...

...paying people to just stand around most of the time. Yeah, I hate that. You know, Sergeant, for bureaucrats, this plan of yours is the equivalent of turning water into wine. My only question is, why are you here suggesting it instead of Chief Johnson?

Well, uh...sir, I thought she might like this idea better if she thought it was...

...my idea. Uh-huh. Well, I see you've worked out every detail, including who she's going to blame. That's real genius.
