[about a dead body] Christ, you don't see a rack like that everyday
You wanna give them a squeeze?

That's funny. I don't recall having signed up for an ethics lesson from a scumbag defense lawyer.
LRLonnie Reeborg
I killed her. I killed my sweet Nancy! What did I do that for?
'Cause you like crack?
Right now Vic Mackey may look like a mighty big catch to you. Do the smart thing, son. Cut bait.
It doesn't bother you, the things that he does?
I don't judge other cops.
Mackey's not a cop. He's Al Capone with a badge.
Al Capone made money by giving people what they wanted. What people want these days is to make it to their cars without getting mugged. Come home from work and see their stereo is still there. Hear about some murder in the barrio, find out the next day the police caught the guy. If having all those things means some cop roughed up some nigger or some spic in the ghetto...well, as far as most people are concerned it's don't ask, don't tell.
GDr. Grady
What's in the bag?
[From a brown paper bag, Mackey pulls a bottle of booze, a phone book, keys, a lighter and box cutter. He then lays them on the table in front of Grady.]
GDr. Grady
What's that stuff for?
It's what I'm gonna use to get you to tell me where Jenny Reeborg is.
GDr. Grady
Your turn to play bad cop?
Nah, good cop and bad cop left for the day, I'm a different kinda cop.
GDr. Grady
[To the surveillance camera] I'm ready to see my lawyer now.
[to Dutch] Go get a sandwich, Dutchboy.
[Watching a kid get beat to join a gang.]
GGangbanger
Bienvenido a La Vida!
What's he saying?
Welcome to the life.
Where the hell were you last night?
What do you mean?
Detective Crowley got shot. I left you a message.
Yeah, I got it.
So?
So...you didn't say anything about me having to come down.
I shouldn't have to. A fellow officer was dying in that hospital.
I said a prayer for him.
A prayer?
Yeah.
[Danny stares at him]
What? I've been on the job three weeks, I didn't even know that guy.
Rule number one, he was a cop. That means you knew him.
Terry asked me to move him up.
FFrances
He was part of your team.
He wasn't ready for this.
FFrances
Eight years on the force, a stint in Robbery, two commendations... Sounds to me like he was ready.
Strike Team's different.
FFrances
Really?
We knock down the doors other cops don't want to. My guys accept the risks because they know I will take care of them. We go out on a mission, I expect every single one of them to come home. Anything else is unacceptable.
What do you do for fun with all that free time?
RRichard
I have some hobbies.
I know, nice sperm collection.
LLem
That is the hottest chick there ever was, man!
TTripp
Her? That's a par. Got me another in Detroit, goddamn BIRDIE.
Big deal, she's probably spread her legs for half the league.
TTripp
Too bad you can't make a jump shot.
They stitch you up okay?
CConnie
Between this and my cesarean, I'm a god damned road map.
[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.
[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.
We killed a cop.
Get over it, don't bring it up again.
[Dutch is ogling a stripper's bare behind, where she has sustained a minor bullet wound]
Dutch, how many times I gotta tell you--you can't feel up the victims.
She took one in the ass, but it's--
--not the first time. Right. That's a good one.
