The Onion Field

[the two are eating at a diner]

Det. Karl Hettinger:
You feel like another piece?

Det. Ian Campbell:
Nah, I just got my weight below 200.

Det. Karl Hettinger:
At least you're tall enough to carry it. Married life's making me feel like an avocado with feet.

[repeated line]

Jimmy Smith:
Jumpin' Jesus!

[last lines]

Boy piper:
Yeah, I think I'll play the bagpipes as long as I live.

Chrissie Campbell:
I think that's a lovely idea.

Det. Sgt. Pierce R. Brooks:
Has your conscience ever bothered you? Like feeling - guilty?

Jimmy Smith:
Mr. Brooks... I believe... I think that is something that rich white guys dreamed up to keep guys like me down. I honestly don't believe there is such a thing... such a feeling. Guilty? That's just something the Man says in court when your luck runs out.

Gregory Ulas Powell:
We told you we were going to let you go... but have you ever heard of the little Lindbergh Law?

Det. Ian Campbell:
Yes.

[Powell shoots him]

LAPD Captain:
Any man who gives up his gun to some punk is a coward. Any man who does can kiss his badge goodbye, if I can help it. You're policemen. Put your trust in God.

Dist. Atty. Phil Halpin:
Campbell's forgotten. He may as well never have lived. Hettinger's a ghost. Only the legal process has meaning. I've got to get away. You know what I was thinking? I was thinking that if it were in my power, I'd release Powell and Smith, drop all the charges. Let 'em walk. If only I could send some lawyers and judges to the gas chamber.

Det. Karl Hettinger:
[while in the onion field seeing his partner crying] That's the onions. It makes you eyes water.

Gregory Ulas Powell:
Don't waste bullets!
