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: 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!

Earle: I have a human interest story. It involves a certain LAPD cop, a hero from the war 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?! 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: Thanks for your cooperation, Officer.

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

Cole: You say one more thing about him and I WILL BLOW YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!

Earle: You've finally lost it, partner.

Hogeboom: You're Sergeant Jack Kelso, aren't you? Where's your uniform, Sarge?

Jack: At home in my locker, Hogeboom! War's over, soldier!

Elsa: He killed that man.

Cole: He was doing him a favor, Elsa.

Earle: We're gathered here to honor Detective Cole Phelps. Cole Phelps was the best kind of man. A war hero who led his men with true valor, and, through his bravery, achieved one of the country's highest honors. A cop wrongly accused, who never lost his faith with the LAPD and the system... A detective who fought to expose the evil corruption of the murderous Dr. Fontaine and the rapacious property tycoon Leland Monroe. ...the fight that costs him his own life. A good husband, a good father, and may I say, a good friend.
