->'''Cole''': What's his problem?
->'''Commander''': That's Biggs. He's an institution.

->'''Earle''': Hi, Phelps. I'm keeping an eye on you. I could spend a little time basking on reflected glory. Make a change from busting hookers and dope fiends.

->'''Cole''': Who was that, Commander?
->'''Commander''': Roy Earle, chief detective of Ad Vice.
->'''Cole''': [[SharpDressedMan Do they all dress like movie stars]]?

->'''Earle''': We got better things to do than spending time with two dead junkies.
->'''Colmyer''': Did I ask your opinion, Detective? Two army men junkies dead on Army surplus morphine! ''That'' makes it an Ad Vice case! Beat it!

->'''[[spoiler:Earle]]''': I have a human interest story. It involves a certain LAPD cop, a hero from the war [[spoiler:who has let his beautiful wife and kids down, who betrayed America for a German junkie whore, who has abandoned his pledge to the LAPD, and his commitment to the public we all serve]].

->'''[=McKelty=]''': Phelps, I'm partnering you Herschel Biggs.
->'''Biggs''': I don't do partners. You know that, Cap.
->'''[=McKelty=]''': You do ''now'', Biggs.

->'''Cole''': We're about to go and visit Elysian Fields Developments.
->'''[=McKelty=]''': You're about to do what? Leland Monroe, he's a personal friend of the Mayor and the Chief. Are you out of your mind?! [[IWarnedYou I'm warning you, Phelps]].

->'''Earle''': Buy me a drink, Cole?
->'''Cole''': No!
->'''Earle''': Not even for old time's sake?
->'''Cole''': Not even for that.

->'''Earle''': Stay away from Elysian Fields.
->'''Cole''': I should have known you were playing errand boy.
->'''Earle''': You and your doofus partner. You have been warned.
->'''Cole''': [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Thanks for your cooperation, Officer]].

->'''Biggs''': You're not the biggest asshole around, Cole.

->'''Cole''': [[spoiler:Courtney Sheldon]] was a corpsman, Roy. He served his country! He went out with a medical kit and an Army .45 and into places that made the Valley of Death look like a picnic. He was either naive enough or dumb enough to get involved in the [[spoiler:Suburban Development Fund]] along with [[spoiler:the mayor, the D.A., Monroe, and a certain crooked cop]]. He was involved in the [[spoiler:morphine heist]], but he has a puncture wound in his jugular, which makes this a murder case. He was a better man than you'll ever know. ''You say one more word about him and I will blow your '''[[PrecisionFStrike FUCKING]] HEAD OFF!'''''
->'''Earle''': You've finally lost it, partner.

->'''[[spoiler:Hogeboom]]''': You're Sergeant Jack Kelso, aren't you? Where's your uniform, Sarge?
->'''Jack''': At home in my locker, [[spoiler:Hogeboom]]! War's over, soldier!

->'''Elsa''': He killed that man.
->'''Cole''': He was [[MercyKill doing him a favor]], Elsa.

->'''[[spoiler:Earle]]''': We're gathered here to honour [[spoiler:Detective Cole Phelps]]. [[spoiler:Cole Phelps]] was the best kind of man. A war hero who lead his men with true valour, and, through his personal bravery, achieved one of his country's highest honours. A cop, wrongly accused, who never lost his faith in the LAPD and the system. A detective who fought to expose the evil corruption of [[spoiler:the murderous Dr. Fontaine]], and [[spoiler:rapacious property tycoon Leland Monroe]]. A reformer who recognised the need to remove the odd bad apple from a department made up of good men. A man who never gave up, who continued to fight the good fight... the fight that cost him his own life. A good husband, a good father, and, [[AntagonistInMourning may I say, a good friend]].
