Lieutenant, you've got a whole big city here. The switchboard down there's loaded with calls, your file cabinets with complaints. You take care of the city. You let me take care of Artis Pierce.
Detective Lt. Mike Stone
No, I won't. I can't lay a hand on you until you break the law, commit a crime. You know it, and I know it. But the crime you're about to commit... well, that crime's the worst crime of all.
Robert Alan Hobbes
That's right. That's absolutely right. But Artis Pierce committed it first.
