Sgt. Jack Colt: Nice weather? You think we're having... nice weather? I guess you didn't lose the only one that meant anything in your life. I guess you don't feel burned out by the human misery and despair perpetrated by the criminal vermin that infest every pore of this decaying city, forcing you to guzzle cheap wine and cheaper whiskey to dull the pain that shatters your heart, rips at your soul, and keeps your days forever gray.
[beat] What flavor Ice you got today?

Sgt. Jack Colt: Claire and I rode together for seven years.
Sgt. Wes Luger: York and I were in academy together. Then we partnered for five years. Before that, we dodged the draft together. Before that, we played high school football together. Before that, we were in grade school together. And before that, we breast fed together.

Captain Doyle: Don't be so fast to thank me on this, Luger, because you're going to be naked on this one. It's on the line for you. People are going to be watching. Now you blow it, you're going down. You screw up, you're going to be hung out to dry. You drop the ball, you're going to be left twisting in the wind. If you embarrass this department, your pants will be dancing with figs. Is that clear?
Sgt. Wes Luger: Everything except for the dancing with figs thing!

Miss Destiny Demeanor: This has gone far enough! First you use my affection, then you use me to sell drugs, through the Wilderness Girls! What kind of a man are you?

Gen. Morters: Is that the bra with the metal studs?
Miss Destiny Demeanor: That's the RED one! I'm talking about the black set, with the gold tread piping!
