Old Bill: [to Shane] Don't go crawling up my arse just yet, Constable. Haven't had breakfast yet.

Old Bill: What, you shot yourself?
Shane Cooper: No, sir.
Old Bill: Well, who did?
Shane Cooper: A kid. He was strung out. He pulled a concealed weapon, I pulled mine and...
Old Bill: You couldn't pull the trigger.
Shane Cooper: He was just a kid.
Old Bill: It was a kid with a gun.
Shane Cooper: That's one way of looking at it.
Old Bill: What's the other way, Constable?
Shane Cooper: Maybe he needed help, not a bullet.
[Old Bill scoffs]
Shane Cooper: What, you disagree, Inspector?
Old Bill: We'd be having a different conversation if you were dead.
