Third Watch quotes

Bosco (to Lester): You killed my brother!

Lester: I didn't know your brother was dead!

Bosco: And for what?! For what?! For money?! For leverage?! For... for what!?

Carlos (to Grace): Look. I respect how much you loved your old detail. But we aren't any country club.

Grace: Yeah. Okay.

Carlos: Don't walk away from me. Come here. You know what? None of us were born the day that you got here. You don't know anything about us. You have no idea how many calls we take. How many lives we've saved, and lost, how many bullets we've ducked, no matter how minor you manage to make it all sound. I don't care whether you came from Bed-Stuy or Baghdad. You're not gonna minimize my experience here just because it's not yours. So you either learn to respect us the way that we respect you, or just keep your mouth shut until you've clawed your way back to that warzone where you'd rather be. You got that?

Grace: {to Kim} Guy's got stones.

Cruz (to Bosco): I'm sorry.

Bosco: You're what? You're sorry? You? I told you what would happen. I told you to slow down. But you didn't care about Mikey. You didn't care what would happen to him. None of you care!

Cruz: I honestly don't think that those guys suspected him.

Bosco: Really? Honestly? And how the hell would you know?

Cruz: I don't know.

Bosco: No, you don't. But you should. You're no better than a criminal yourself. You don't get to cry! You don't get to cry!

Donald Mann: You did well.

Lloyd: Thank you, Mr. Mann.

Mann: And you actually saw the cop learn of his brother's death?

Lloyd: Witnessed the whole thing with my own eyes. He even saw the body. What was left of it.

Donald Mann: And he suffered... Boscorelli?

Lloyd: He still is, sir. If you saw the way he went after this lawyer guy. Trust me sir, he was crying.

Mann: Good. He's going to cry a lot more before he dies.

Yokas (to Fred): I'm not doing this because I'm trying to prove to the city that they were wrong about me, or because I'm worried about Cruz knocking me out of the box. I'm doing this because I can help people. Defenseless people like that little girl. True victims. And I can make it better for them. I mean, what would you expect me to do, turn my back on them?

Fred: Like you did us?

Mann: Besides Boscorelli, Yokas and Cruz of the 55th, Sergeant Wynn and Dombroski of Narcotics. I want them all dead before they put my Joey in the ground tomorrow.

Jelly (to Swersky): Something wrong?

Swersky: Is that a new suit?

Jelly: Yeah.

Swersky: You're wearing a new suit?

Jelly: So?

Swersky: Looks expensive.

Jelly: You don't think I can afford a suit?

Swersky: No, I didn't think you had the taste.

Cruz (when Yoshi decides to skip the raid to go to the wake): You're gonna leave your partner hanging?

Yoshi: My partner?

Cruz: Glenn's back.

Yoshi: He is?

Cruz: Yeah, he's getting his gear.

Yoshi: He wasn't supposed to be back until next week.

Cruz: Yeah, well, uh, I guess he's dedicated to the mission, unlike some people I know.

Yoshi: Maybe you should just call this one off, huh? Go to the wake, too.

Cruz: First of all, most of the third watch is gonna be there. Somebody's gotta stay back and watch the shop. Second, I don't call off a raid like this for anyone. Or anything. Third, I wasn't invited.

Carlos: I was thinking that it would probably help you to switch it up some.

Grace: Is that so?

Carlos: Vary the experience.

Levine: Watching Carlos scream at other drivers all night can really help your résumé.

Carlos: They're idiots.

Mann (about his son): He had a nightmare when he was five. A monster was chasing him. I said there was no such thing. He fell asleep in my arms. I held him there, looking down at his face. I fell in love with him that night.

Butler: Well, that's a happy memory.

Mann: But the night I fell in love with my son, I lied to him.

Butler: Sir?

Mann: There are monsters.

Grace: God, when does anything ever happen around here?

Kim: Oh, haven't you been doing this long enough to know you don't say things like that?

Grace: I am gonna jump out of my skin.

Kim: Oh, I'm sorry, Grace. You want me to run someone over so you can go out and patch them up?

Grace (to Kim): You ever pull that stick out of your ass?

Kim: Excuse me?

Grace: Just curious.

Carlos: "Watching Carlos yell at other drivers is good for your résumé"?

Levine: Oh, come on.

Carlos: Ha ha. What? What? Are you jealous or something? Huh?

Levine: You have to be kidding me.

Levine (to Carlos): You know what? You're right. That's what keeps Grace from jumping all over you.

Carlos: So stop it, all right?

Levine: No way is it that stupid haircut or the disgusting way you lick your lips when you're talking to her, or the way you never look higher than her chest or lower than her ass, or just your general creepiness you get whenever you're around any woman. That slimy look you get in your eyes like we're all just hunks of meat in a deli display case and you haven't eaten in years. That is all very attractive. In fact, I'm sure that you're the man Grace Foster's been looking for all her life.

Carlos: I don't have a stupid haircut.
