Third Watch, Season 1

Sully:
How do you do it everyday?

Yokas:
I just think of him as one of my kids. Puts it in whole new perspective.

Sully:
Most kids grow up.

Bosco:
Is that your jag out there?

Drunk Woman:
What?

Bosco:
Is that your jag out there?

Doc:
You ever think about quitting?

Sully:
About 25 times a day.

Doc:
Why wouldn't you?

Sully:
The day is not over yet.

Officers:
Get out the car! Now!

Bosco:
(to officers) Weapons down! Weapons down!

Bosco:
Hey Rick? Big Rick? Shift is over, bud.

Bosco:
You can turn over the squad now. You don't have to drive around anymore.

Bosco:
Lets go back to the station, have some donuts, swap some stories, that's what cops do. You are a cop, right?

Bosco:
You did a good job, partner.

Sully:
If you give everyone a beating who deserves it your arms are gonna be mighty tired by the end of the night.

Davis:
What do you do?

Sully:
What do you mean "what do I do"?

Davis:
To, like uh kick back, have like uh, sully fun, what do you do? I sort of picture you sitting at home in your boxer shorts watching old movies on black and white TV.

Sully:
This is what you do, conjure up images of me in my underwear?

Davis:
I'm not saying its pretty.

Sully:
You are way off, you know.

Davis:
About what?

Sully:
I got a color television.

Carlos:
It's a milk run.

Doc:
No lights, no siren.

Carlos:
I promise I'll bring it back with a full tank of gas Dad.

Carlos:
Oh!

Doc:
What the hell was that?!

Carlos:
Oh my god....

Paramedic:
What have we got?

Doc:
We, hit him by a bus.

Carlos:
I didn't see him...

Paramedic:
Damn, bro.

Bobby:
Do you know her name?

Girl:
Sunny, you know, like Sunshine.

Bosco:
Justice delayed is justice denied.

Yokas:
Justice? What? Beating on a defenseless prisoner? I don't know if that's what our founding fathers had in mind.

Bosco:
Oh, so now we only dispense street justice when you think it is appropriate.

Yokas:
What's that supposed to mean?

Doc:
Takes the stockings off, too.

Carlos:
Is that you talking?

Bosco:
21st century and this city still has buildings with no elevators.

Yokas:
Well, a little stair climbing will keep you warm.

Bosco:
So will the car heater. And you know what? It's conveniently located in our car!

Kim:
We may walk upright, buy CDs off the internet, but when it comes down to it, deep under, we are animals. Instincts. We can't get away from instincts.

Bobby:
National Geographic?

Kim:
Discovery Channel.

Yokas:
Okay, let's talk about my sex life. Last night my husband was too drunk to get it up, and it's kinda bugging me, you know?

Bosco:
Wow, wow, wow! That is a little more information than I needed to hear. Now I have a picture.

Yokas:
No kidding.

Priest:
Excuse me, we are closed.

Kim:
A church closes?

Sully:
That's the problem, see? That's exactly how you lose your mind on this job. There's so much tragedy. Feeling is the first thing that goes. After that, losing the rest is easy. Compassion, empathy, sympathy…It's funny, you can become a much better cop by becoming less of a human being.

[When nobody is answering the door]

Davis:
You want me to kick it in?

Sully:
I tell you what, Tarzan. Why don't we keep that as a backup plan, but let's see if the super has keys first.

Davis:
Yeah, that could work too.

Sam:
When I was a kid, fireman's all I wanted to be.

Jimmy:
Yeah, I wanted to be a running back. What the hell are you doing here?

Kim:
Game get a little rough?

Coach Capri:
That's why they call it hockey.

Kim:
If that's a joke, I don't get it.

Bosco:
I'm starting to change my mind about the Himalayas. I think it would be a pretty good place to go. No pollution, no BS with the legal system. Just ice, mountains, the South Pole.

Yokas:
The South Pole?

Bosco:
What?

Yokas:
Nothing.

Bosco:
It's probably only nice until you get used to the place. After that, I'm sure you run into some crackhead Eskimo using kids or something.

Yokas:
Eskimos? In the Himalayas?

Bobby (to Matty):
You're gonna get out of my car. You're gonna walk across that street and when you get there if you turn right, you walk into that precinct, I'll spend every dime I got to get you the best lawyer I can find. If you end up doing time I will be there every week to make sure you got everything you need and the day you get out I'll be parked out front waiting to bring you home. If you don't, Matty, if you cross that street and you go left, I'm through with you. I don't ever want to see you again. I don't want you to call or come by, ever. You'll be dead to me. I won't have a brother. That's it. That's the deal.

Carlos (about Morales):
I told you I was interested.

Doc:
So what? What, now we're in the eighth grade and you called dibs?

Carlos:
"Dibs"!? What the hell is dibs?

Davis:
I was scared Sully. I was too scared.

Sully:
We all were.

Davis:
Not Bosco. He was fearless, running around like a madman.

Sully:
He is a madman and he's stupid to boot. There's some guys that think they're invincible and they believe that right up until the moment they get shot. And then they all end up with this stupid-ass look on their faces like there's been some kind of terrible mistake.

Yokas (to Bosco):
We're supposed to be different from them.

Bosco:
We didn't try to hold up a check cashing store with automatic weapons and kill everybody we ran into this afternoon.

Yokas:
No, but you let a man die when you could have tried to save him. And you're right. Under similar circumstances, he would have done the same exact thing to you. So, congratulations, Bosco. Today, you and that animal were exactly alike.

Carlos (to Doc):
God, you would drive monks crazy.

Yokas (to Fred):
I'm surprised you could even find the car, let alone get the key in the ignition. You're under arrest.

Yokas:
Now I got to figure out a way to tell my kids that their mother had to arrest their father.

Davis:
God really does answer prayers.

Sully:
Yeah, I was just thinking, wouldn't it be great if two girls young enough to be my daughters had car trouble.

Davis (to Sully):
I just…I thought he was gonna kill you, man. I thought he was gonna…

Sully:
I know you did.

Davis:
Damn.

Sully:
Now you gotta go tell them that.

Sully (to Davis):
Forget about the outcome! You saved my life!

Davis:
I don't think I'm cut out for this job. I just…

Sully:
Then quit! Go to law school. Do something with your life. Hell, join the circus. I don't really give a damn. But unless you go down to that station, tonight and set this right, you're gonna go to jail.

Yokas:
Is there anything more depressing than searching basements and garbage cans for missing kids?

Bosco:
Yeah, finding one.

Bosco:
When I have kids, I'm going to have vehicle locators surgically implanted right in their asses.

Faith:
What, like a baby Lojack?

Bosco:
Yeah, why not? Your kids are definitely worth more than your Buick.

Faith (as she enters an abandoned building):
Do you think a scared little two-year-old girl would want to come in here? I mean, I don't want to come in here, and I've got a gun.

Sully:
Willy Townsend stole a communion chalice from a church. He stole it from a man that was tryin' to help him. Then Father Goodwin refuses to give the bastard up. Instead, he goes to find Willy to tell him he's forgiven and give him another chance. And then what does Willy do to this man? Maybe the only person on the face of this Earth that gives a damn about him? He breaks a three dollar bottle of Thunderbird over his head, and then proceeds to stab this gentle, loving man over and over again with what's left of the broken bottle. Father Goodwin is supposed to believe in the redemptive power of God's love, to forgive Willy. That's his place in this world. You and me? Our job is to see to it that Willie never hurts anybody else again. Ever.

Doc:
You know, every time I think I couldn't possibly have a lower opinion of you, something else pops up and I like you even less.

Carlos:
You really are a smug bastard, you know that?

Doc:
I got to say, I'm ashamed to know you.

History of the World [1.8]:
Carlos: Put shoes on 'em, stockings....

Carlos:
"This one nun, she was alright, she used to say, "Carlos, you think you are an orphan, you are not. You've got a father. God is your father and he is looking after you." And then, you know, I'd say "Well, he's not doing a very good job." Do I believe it, that god's watching? Looking down on the kid, that he sees all the stuff that we see, you know? If he does, where is he? Huh? Why doesn't he stop it?" Doc: "You don't get it." Carlos: "What is it that I don't get?" Doc: "We're on our own, man. I mean, he gave us freedom." Carlos: "Oh, right. That's a great idea to give us the freedom to get a little smack going so we can fold our kid up like an aacordian; just see how it feels." Doc: "Believe it or don't believe it. It's up to you. But you oughtta ask yourself, when you die and you meet God...." Carlos interrupts: "What will I say to him? I'll say, "How dare you!" Yeah, how dare you make a world where kids suffer and die? You let this stuff happen, And we're supposed to love you and light candles and spring for a dollar every time a guy comes around in church with a basket?" Doc scoffs. Carlos: "Hey, hey, I know. He's testing us. That's what they tell you in church. If there was an election, for God, I would not vote for the one we've got now. No, not until he rode with us in the bus, just one day. Kim: "Don't sit too close, Bobby. Ground might open up." Bobby: Yeah, or the lightning." Kim: "At least then we'd know there is something out there." Carlos: "Doc, we ride together. How can you believe in God after seeing what we see?" Doc: "I think you've got it all wrong. I mean, the question is, how can you believe in man?"
