Sir, I'm telling you... the kid had no choice. The dog was reaching. It was kill or be killed.
Oh come on, Roy. The dog had a piece, he was gonna use it.

Is that the kid you choked out with a bottle of mustard?
Who ratted, the condiment weasel?
That kid's a novice. He was swallowing open jums of crack. I induced vomiting. Saved his goddamn life. We're still allowed to save lives right?
I want a complete report.
Sure, I'll have one for you day after tomorrow.... Oh that's right, you'll be gone. I'll mail one to ya!
Examiner: Federalies found him with a bunch of fake Mexican ID's and an expired California driver's license. [lifts sheet] Benjamin Wescotton Gilroy?
Shit!
EExaminer
That a positive ID?
How did he die?
EExaminer
Take your pick. Sclerosis, malnutrition, official cause was suffocation. Aspirated on his own vomit. Christ, this guy was the Assistant Police Chief? What happened?
Take your pick.
[addressing a group of officers] Starting today, all drug and gang related homicides will go through Vic Mackey. I've posted a list of ten detectives and twenty uni's who will work directly under Vic. You'll be leading a task force designed to learn everything we can about the roughly fifty gangs who operate on our turf. Their membership, their businesses, chains of command. Federal asset forfeiture laws will now be enforced in Farmington. A drug dealer uses a car to distribute drugs, we're gonna seize that vehicle. A gang sells crack out of their back room, we're gonna take that home.
[Vic and his team bust into Choppa's room]
Assume the position, ladies. Hands on your head right now! Hands on your head!
Choppa' : [puts hands on his head] Since when niggas kicking it a crime? Oh yeah, that's right - since around forever.
Ah, chilling's cool. Those teeth are a felony, though. [slaps Choppa's cheek]
[A gun is found]
You plottin' retribution? Huh?
CChoppa
No, man. We got a circle jerk jumpin' off. Why don't you grab some vaseline and join in?
Explain to me why taking this house was the right thing to do yesterday, and the wrong thing today.
Yesterday we had to stop the shootings.
This house was bought with drug money. The mother knew it.
You said it would be a P.R. nightmare.
Either it works or it doesn't. To make exceptions, to put a prettier face on it....sounds more like Aceveda than me. [Rawling walks out of the home and signs paperwork] Take it.
You've cost this city tens of thousands of dollars in clean-up.
RRaga
Send me a bill.
We will, but you tell me who's planning this war with Poolboys, who's giving you these messages, I can make things better. [To Danny] Bring her something to eat while she thinks it over.
RRaga
Burger and fries.
Settle a bet first. What's Raga stand for?
RRaga
Righteous Angel, Gorgeous Ass.
I don't admire the artwork, but I gotta admire the confidence.
So, you're going under with Slick, right?
Do me a favor, get somebody else.
It's our case...
Well, I'd rather not.
Well, that's great. That's fantastic. [Claudette starts to walk away] Hey! Hey, don't you walk away from me! Not after I've had your back every day, for the past six months. [Dutch walks over to her] Look. This is our way to get back into the rotation, okay? They'll never buy me in this one, it has to be you.
SSuvato
We'll check it out.
Good, look for flowers, he poses as a delivery guy to get into the house.
SSuvato
Right, homes.
Someone sees him, I want a call.
SSuvato
Hey! Aren't you gonna swear us in?
Blessed is he who delivers this asshole onto me.
[After beating up Halpern] You know what? Tell Antwon there's a new scoop law. [Pointing to Halpern] Come pick up his dog shit.
I'm busy. And stop treating me like a suspect.
You had a chat with Beth Encardi? If we carried the Webster case, maybe they'd let us out of the doghouse? Something along those lines.
Fine. I confess. At least now we're getting confessions from other people too. Real criminals, killers.
What are the errands that you have us running for the DA?
Nothing. One of us needed to manifest this.
You went behind my back?
After being ignored head on for six months, you bet I did!
But, it wasn't your deal to make.
You're the best partner I ever had, I hung in with you, waiting for you to see this through, instead you just dug yourself in further. I wasn't going to sit on my hands, and watch you wreck your career and mine along with it. I got dinged pretty good in this too you know-
But this was my fight.
And you lost. So I threw in the towel with the DA and I'd do it again. And if you wanna be pissed at me, fine. Go ahead!
[To Aceveda] Hey, press conference hasn't started yet. You still got time to figure out how to take credit for all this!
Councilman. Getting me up there under the pretext of soliciting public support and then undermining me. Huh. Thanks for the crash-course in sandbagging.
I came willing to be convinced, I wasn't.
Congratulations. You pushed half that crowd into Antwon Mitchell's hands.
Aceveda: Oh that's a slippery slope. Using the boogey-man to run roughshot over people's rights.
Don't you have enough to do on city council? Or is this some power-trip of doing my job as well?
Aceveda: Actually, my job duties now include Vice-Chairing the Police Committee. Helping oversee how these seizures are implemented.
Well... I guess we need to figure out how to get along now.
Aceveda: Learn to do what I say and we'll be just fine.
[to Shane, after shooting Angie with Shane's and Army's guns] Her body shows up, with bullets in it from your two gats? And your card in her burnt pocket? ...One time, DOIN' time, for a long, LONG time. ...From now on, when I say suck my dick, you ask 'you want me to lick your balls too daddy?'
