Bosco quotes from Third Watch

You stopped them?

Bosco

Swerved across a double yellow.

So what was their interaction like?

Bosco

Ordinary, considering she was getting friendly with his johnson.

Friendly?

Bosco

Very.

And she didn't appear to be in distress.

Bosco

[looking at Faith] Absolutely not.

Great, my own cops will be the defendant's best witnesses, there's no case.

Faith

This is bad.

Bosco

What makes this different, Faith?! Women cry rape if they're bumped too hard in the subway. How's anybody supposed to take it seriously?

Faith

Because we're supposed to figure out the difference! That's our job! What if we left a kid in a car with a rapist?

Bosco

That did not happen, Faith. You hearin' me? I did not do that.

Faith

Not you, we. We.

Bosco

Didn't happen. Didn't happen.

Man, this girl is known. Whores all over the projects then goes to church with her mom. You know what I'm talkin' about? She's like an expert at deception, man. You cannot believe a word. She's trippin'.

Faith

So you were entrapped in extramarital sex with a girl who was recently a minor?

You never wanted a little somethin' something on the side, Officer?

Faith

[to Bosco] Enjoy yourself with Mr. Smooth Talker here. I'm gonna go upstairs and see how the statements are goin'. [walks off]

You know what she needs, don't you?

Bosco

Yep. Yoga.

Bosco

I can't be that guy.

Faith

Bosco...

Bosco

I can't be that guy. I can't be the guy who helped the girl get raped.

Faith

We didn't know.

Bosco

But I can't. I can't.

Faith

We didn't know.

Bosco

I can't be the guy. See? I can't be the guy. I can't. (walks away, clearly upset)

Bosco

You don't look so good, writer boy.

I learned something about being an informant.

Bosco

Yeah?

It's probably not a good idea for one to give up all their own personal connections.

What?

Bosco

I'll only talk to you alone.

Bosco

I tried to go along. To play the game But I couldn't do it. I couldn't let a guy go away for a murder he didn't do. Cruz let Noble keep the gun he shot the guy with so Yokas was helping me get it back from Noble's apartment. Cruz figured out what we were doing. I got there just after she did and she squared off with Yokas. Then Noble comes in...it's a big circle jerk. I see Noble, behind Cruz, pull a gun from his jacket pocket. So I shot him once. I think I hit him in the chest.

Swersky

He died a little while ago.

Bosco

Cruz shot her.

Swersky

Sergeant Cruz shot Yokas?

Bosco

I told you...she'll do anything.

Swersky

Damn.

Bosco

So I shot Cruz.

Swersky

You?!

Bosco

I'll take whatever I got coming. Faith was only there trying to help me boss. She didn't do anything. It was me. I went along with Cruz from the beginning. Can I go see her now?

Swersky

You're not going anywhere.

Bosco

Look, I'll make all the written statements you want. I just need to look at her. To say I'm sorry.

Swersky

You're sorry? I have to explain this to the Commissioner's office!

Bosco

Just for a minute.

Swersky

You admitted to shooting a police sergeant and participating in the arrest of an innocent man, Bosco. You better worry about yourself here.

Bosco

I was sleeping with her and I was fooled. How's that for stupid?

You don't seem too rattled considering the can of crap you just stepped in.

Bosco

As long as Faith is all right, I really don't care what happens to me.

Monroe

You know, why don't you let some of what Davis has rub off on you?

Bosco

You know what? Davis can keep his sunshine all to himself.

Oh, come on Officer, that's pretty close. Cut me a break, man. That's close.

Bosco

Look, the law does not say "pretty close." It doesn't say "somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 feet from a hydrant."

Monroe

Bosco, you don't understand the pressure of having to have the right toy, the right clothes...

Bosco

Oh, come on. I've watched Yokas go through this every year for the past ten years. I thought Talking Elmo was gonna kill her.

Bosco

Anonymous caller. What the hell is that?

Monroe

Why are we always driving in the wrong direction when we get a job?

Bosco

If it bothers you enough to call, at least have the balls to say it was you.

Monroe

You know, maybe we should just start driving in reverse. At least we'd be facing the right direction.

Bosco

Watch this guy.

Monroe

I see him... [wails siren]

Bosco

[over PA] Move to the right, you moron.

Monroe

Bosco, hang on. Don't be going on the PA thing calling people morons!

Bosco

He is a [over PA] MORON.

Bosco

Some days.

Tommy

So, uh, you like it then?

Bosco

Except when people ask me a bunch of stupid questions.
