You pick up one more piece of paper and you're gonna be arrested for obstruction of justice.

You have no right to intimidate...
You wanna hear all about rights? He'll read 'em to ya.

SRSenator Ralph Bowen
Will you accept some advice, Mr. Keller?
Sure.
SRSenator Ralph Bowen
Let Fred Marshall rest in peace.
That's exactly the same advice I got from Marshall's assistant.
SRSenator Ralph Bowen
And with good reasons.
I'd like to know them.
SRSenator Ralph Bowen
Oh, come now. You've seen them all your life. The people love a good smear campaign. They delight in having someone's name dragged through the mud.
And that's the same public that's elected you to Washington all these years, isn't it, Senator? Just seems strange that you above all people wouldn't respect their ability to tell the difference between a lie and the truth.
RBReid Bradshaw
[Riled in response to Stone's aggressive questioning] You really like your job, don't you, Lieutenant? Gun on the hip, instant authority. Come to a place like this, collar the head man, roust him a little, give him the third degree. Pretty heady stuff, isn't it?
Look, Mr. Bradshaw...
RBReid Bradshaw
No, you look! Take a look at all this. I laid everything I had on the line to build it from a bankrupt corporation to a big money company while you hid behind the city payroll. The authority I got, I earned. And I'm not about to stand here and listen to loaded questions from somebody who's pulling his clout from my taxes.
[Examining a logo on a piece of evidence] Whaddaya call it?
It's a unicorn.
Unicorn, that's it. What do you know about unicorns, buddy-boy?
Unicorn. Singular. Not more than one. Used a lot in ancient myths. There's only one way to catch it.
How's that?
Well, it lays its head in the lap of a virgin.
Well, now, you would know that. Information like that's gonna get you right to the top, buddy-boy!
AHAbel Hoffman
Two cops were shot with this gun.
FJFather Joe Skarn
You did that?
AHAbel Hoffman
Same as. I was there.
FJFather Joe Skarn
No, it's not the same. Not if you didn't pull the trigger.
AHAbel Hoffman
It is to the law.
FJFather Joe Skarn
Not God's law.
AHAbel Hoffman
I don't know nothin' about God's law, Scarne. But I do know what cops do to guys they think killed cops.
AHAbel Hoffman
[to Father Skarn] Don't talk to me about dreams, okay? I heard the dreams you dish out to those losers over at your mission. Nothin' matters now. "It'll be better in Heaven." Well, I want it now, and I'm gonna get it.
FJFather Joe Skarn
Look, we're both pros, Mike. We both go to the book for all our answers, only there's a difference in the books.
[Discussing Big Jake] Y'know, for a guy who's had his bell rung as many times as this Wilson, he thinks pretty good.
If we're on the right track, buddy-boy, he's not the headwork; he's the muscle.
[Considering cops to go undercover on skid row] How do you feel about Avarczech?
Are you kidding? That fuzz-faced kid? Why, he'd stick out like a harp polisher in a house full of hookers.
