Vic Mackey quotes from The Shield

Vic

[on the phone] Come on Captain, you know how those rich pricks are, he probably has his face snorkel deep in some broad's snatch. In a few hours he'll come up for air.

Aceveda

[to the lawyer] You know how those celebrities are, he's probably with a female admirer. Give it a few hours. He'll turn up.

Shane

We killed a cop.

Vic

Get over it, don't bring it up again.

Vic

Dutch, how many times I gotta tell you--you can't feel up the victims.

Dutch

She took one in the ass, but it's--

Vic

--not the first time. Right. That's a good one.

Vic

Is there anything you're not allergic to?

Ronnie

Sheet metal.

Vic

You stopped to get laid? What the hell were you thinking?

Shane

About getting laid.

He was acting strange!

Vic

So you shot him!?!

Dutch

This investigation runs through me. You find anything, report it immediately!

Vic

If I bring the guy in, you'll be the first to know, Dutchboy!

You can't prove that.

Vic

I got tapes and witnesses, asshole. Only question left is whether you took a header into the concrete trying to resist arrest.

Vic

We're trying to prevent a war, not start one!

Shane

The guy was being a pain in the ass!

Vic

You've been a pain in the ass lately! Should I take a piss on you?

Vic

Police. You knew the OD victim?

He was rushing my frat. I'm the Pledge Master.

Vic

This part of rush week? [shows him the drugs]

My father's a lawyer.

Vic

Mine was a bricklayer. So, what?

Corrine

[as Vic arrives with Brian] Some husbands just bring home flowers.

Vic

Yeah, I didn't have time to wrap him up.

Vic

Why are you a better deal for me than Rondell?

I don't use my own product. Rondell does. More and more.

This whole Nation of Islam thing came on when he was high.

Vic

How would you have handled it?

Let them have the corner, move three blocks over. Dopers follow the dope. Pissing off the beanpie crowd just gives them a reason to live.

Vic

Throw a little bit of that peaceful resistance right back at 'em, huh?

Mmm-hmm. Now, if I'm done filling out the job application, let's talk about how much rent's gonna be.

Vic

Actually, fifty grand lets you move in right away.

Good thing I've been saving. [Shake hands]

Vic

It's a good thing.

Vic

What'd you get on Gilroy?

Shane

Checked out that hideaway in the hills...

Vic

And?

Mistress never checked in to those bungalows.

Vic

Another lie. What the hell is he doing?

Maybe he stashed her someplace else.

Shane

Or slashed her someplace else.

Vic

Oh, Jesus Christ!

I always took Gilroy for a quiet drunk.

Shane

It's the quiet ones you gotta worry about. [edit]

Vic

[after busting through a fence and catching a runner] Alright slappy, you start talking!

'Sup, man, I didn't do nothin'!

Vic

All right. Fine. You're not a witness... [pulls crack out of pocket and plants it on witness] You're an arrest! This here's just enough to make you a trafficker.

Hey, you can't do that, man!

Vic

What? Bust drug dealers? You just made my quota for the week!

Vic

What the hell are you doing?

Shane

I'm not doing anything that we weren't doing before. I'm just pumping things up a level.

Vic

And what level is that? Prison?

Vic

All right, where's my investment now?

Shane

It's all tied up in the coke shipment.

Vic

That coke that had Tio's guy bleeding from every orifice?
