Swersky quotes from Third Watch

Swersky

What'd he do now?

Swersky

No, you're on a desk until I can get you the hell out of my precinct.

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.

I just wanted...

Swersky

Damn it, Sullivan! How 'bout we pretend you're the cop and I'm your platoon commander!

Swersky

I want an alarm out for the car and for this Mike Boscorelli. Do you know what he looks like?

Yokas

Yes, sir.

Swersky

Then do it.

Bosco

As a cop killer?

Swersky

For questioning.

Bosco

In the death of a cop. You know what that means.

Swersky

I don't have a choice, Bosco. And I'm not sure it would change if I did.

Swersky. Keep Cruz away from my people.

Swersky

Talk to your boy there, Walsh.

I intend to.

Swersky

Welcome back to all of my mandatory 72-hour vacationers. I trust that you used the time to brush up on your summons skills, because that's what One PP is screaming for now.

Nobody shoot at me out there, maybe I'll bring 'em one.

Swersky

Let's hope the shooting is done for a long, long time.

Swersky

Davis, you'll be in 5-5 David with a brand new probationary patrolman fresh from the academy.

Davis

A rookie? Seriously?

Swersky

Oh, after the fine homicide arrest you made the other day, I'm making you a Field Training Officer.

Swersky

The new officer's name is Brendan Finney.

Finney? He's gonna have a bitch of a time with that name. The only other Finney on the job I know is that filthy rat bastard Captain from IAB.

Swersky

Sully…

This guy's the dirtiest cop I know. Now he's the one that's investigating all of us.

Swersky

Sullivan! This is Probationary Officer Finney. Captain Finney's son.

You gotta be kidding me.

Vouchering property from a suicide is a good learning tool for our young officer here.

Swersky

Sure is. Handle it, Finney.

Finney

This isn't our job.

Swersky

Handle it.

{to Finney} And I bet you signed up for the glitz and glamour.

Swersky

And are all the notes addressed to you?

There's never been a note before.

Swersky

Did ya get into another fight?

Between FDNY bitching about their coffee cake and Jelly tryin' to talk them into givin' up their chips, I'd rather be out here.

Swersky

It should be over soon.
