    Alonzo: Why? It's an easy fix. I'll just cash in on an account.

  • Roger: [in his home] You figure that joke out, you'll figure the streets out.

    Alonzo Harris: There ain't nothing to figure out, that's just some senseless bullshit. Don't listen to him.

    Jake Hoyt: You know, I already figured 'em out.

    Alonzo Harris: Really?

    Roger: You already figured the streets out.

    Jake Hoyt: It's all about smiles and cries.

    Alonzo Harris: Put the drink down, man, the motherfuckers out of his mind.

    Roger: Hold on, Alonzo, hold on. Smiles and cries, smiles and cries, I hear ya.

    Jake Hoyt: Yeah. You gotta control your smiles and cries, because that's all you have and nobody can take that away from you.

  • Alonzo Harris: One time. What's up Bone?

    Bone: What's up, Alonzo? - What's happenin' with you, Damu?

    Alonzo Harris: It's all good.

    Bone: I wanna tell you man: I appreciate what you did for my nephew, that's some real shit.

    Alonzo Harris: For sure. For sure.

    [Alonzo walks away]

    Bone: I'm sick of this shit I can't stand that motherfucker.

  • [Bone is smoking a cigarette with his friends]

    Bone: You got business here, Rookie?

    Jake Hoyt: I'm here for Alonzo.

  • Bone: [while pointing a gun at Alonzo] Jake, go ahead and bounce, homey. Get up out of here. We got your back.

    Alonzo Harris: What?

    Bone: It's like that.

  • [last lines]

    Alonzo Harris: What a day. What a motherfuckin' day.

  • Alonzo: [bruised and bloodied, and turns his head back to see Jake pointing a gun at him while dragging away from him with a lit cigarette in his mouth] , you gonna bust your cherry killing a cop? You know what you get for that, Jake? The gas chamber. You know what the gas chamber smells like? Pine oil. I'ma send you to a pine oil heaven. I'ma get that gun and I'ma get that gun and I'm going to get that money, and your not going to shit because you're not going to shoot a cop in the back.

  • Alonzo Harris: I had lunch with the Wise Men today. They say you gotta render unto Caesar.

    Roger: [in his home] Fuckin' vampires want my pension!

  • Alonzo Harris: [Explaining his orders to raid Roger's house] There's nothing I can do about it, you know, I'm just a lowly civil servant.

    Roger: Ehhh, you're their bitch!

  • Alonzo Harris: [to Roger after shooting him] Breathe dawg... breathe.

  • Roger: Hoyt. Hoyt. Hoyt... Strong Saftey. North High. I follow all the good players.

  • [first lines, after he shuts off the alarm clock]

    Jake: It's time.

  • Alonzo Harris: Boom!

    [before and after Jake tells him the DUI story inside the coffee shop]

  • Jake Hoyt: Police Department! Let's see your hands!

    Alonzo Harris: Put your hands up! Put 'em up! Put 'em up! Driver, right side passenger, hands on the windshield!

    Jake Hoyt: [to female] Rear seat passenger, palms on the glass. Look that way!

    Alonzo Harris: Put it in park!

    Alonzo Harris: Fork it over!

    College Driver: What are you talking about?

    Alonzo Harris: You know what I'm talking about. The marijuana. Give it to me! Give it to me!

    [to front passenger]

    Alonzo Harris: Gimme that pipe underneath your seat.

    Male College Passenger: My mom gave it to me.

    Alonzo Harris: I don't care who gave it to you. She can pick it up in jail. What else you got? C'mon, c'mon, gimme, gimme, gimme.

    [female removes hands from glass]

    Alonzo Harris: [to Jake] Hey, control your suspect!

    Jake Hoyt: Miss, palms on the glass!

    Alonzo Harris: [to female] You move those hands again, I'll slap the taste out of your mouth. Put your hands over there. Right there.

    [to driver]

    Alonzo Harris: Now what are you doing out here? You know this is a gang neighborhood?

    College Driver: Yeah.

    Alonzo Harris: Then don't come down here again. I catch you down here again, I'ma take your vehicle. I'ma make you walk home. I'ma let the homeboys up the hill run a train on your girlfriend. You know what a train is, don't you?

    College Driver: Yeah.

    Alonzo Harris: All right, thanks for your cooperation.

    [to Jake]

    Alonzo Harris: Let's go. Safe your iron, son.

    Male College Passenger: Shit!

  • Jake: [Telling Alonzo a story in a coffee shop] There was a DUI stop.

    Alonzo Harris: A DUI stop, let me load up my guns a DUI stop, OH SHIT!

    Jake: Listen man, its a good one, we were on watch.

    Alonzo Harris: We?

    Jake: Me and Debbie, my training officer

    Alonzo Harris: [Intrigued] You have a female training officer? What was she? Black or White?

    Jake: She was white

    Alonzo Harris: Liquor License?

    Jake: A what?

    Alonzo Harris: "A Liquor License", was she a dyke? A lesbian?

    Jake: I don't know.

    Alonzo Harris: Was she good looking?

    Jake: Yeah, pretty good.

  • Jake: [Telling Alonzo a story in a coffee shop] It was a quiet night we were rolling on Van Nuys I'm driving this Acura comes out a side street all over the median in excess I light it up hit the whaler guy drives on like I'm invisible for ten blocks before he pulls over plates were unclean so I'm watching from our unit and she's tossing the Acura she calls me over to the vehicle a snub 38 two shotguns fully loaded so she calls our supervisor and I keep searching and I find five hundred grams of meth turns out this DUI is on bail for distribution and is on his way to smoke his ex-partner before trial so we prevented a murder.

  • Jake: [Driving away from Sandman's house after the shooting] God damn it that was not cool opening fire in the middle of a neighborhood where was the Sandman? What the hell were you doing back there?

    Alonzo Harris: I was checking for narcotic activity drugs, guns, and baggies

    Jake: Cash

    Alonzo Harris: Speak on it

    Jake: She's screaming about money

    Alonzo Harris: She's just talking shit, she's talking about us getting killed

    Jake: I'm going to be on the six o'clock news in an orange suit in hand cuffs because of you with the scandals and what not it is open season on misconduct they will nail us to the wall

    Alonzo Harris: Listen, you're in a privileged position to learn a thing or two keep your mouth shut and your eyes open you say you're serious about doing some real police this is the place to learn but if this kind of shit shakes you up maybe you should go back to your division you have to decide if you're a wolf or a sheep

    [Alonzo shows Jake his tattoo, after pulling over on the side of the highway]

    Alonzo Harris: Get your ink

  • Smiley: [to Jake, after playing poker with him, Sniper, and Moreno in their kitchen] Alonzo pulled off a miracle. Times are tight, he jacked up a lot of cash from Roger, he blasted the fool, that's why I never shake his hand he don't respect nothing you know what the money's for? Alonzo's a hot head, last week in Vegas some Russian starts talking shit, Alonzo just snaps beat that guy to death, turns out that Russian is a somebody, now his into the Russians for a million they gave him until tonight to pay up. his name is still on the list. Nobody thought he could get cash that quick, good thing he did because there's a crew on standby, if he doesn't turn up downtown with the money by midnight and not a minute after, he's a dead man.

  • Jake: [Jake kick opens the bedroom door and finds Alonzo packing money into a bag and Sara lies naked on the bed] Take the money and put it inside that bag and take your weapons and put it inside that pillow case

    Alonzo Harris: [Clapping with the packs of cash] Congratulations son, you passed the test you're a narc put the gun down before you give my girl a heart attack

    Jake: I said put the money inside that bag and take your weapons and put it inside that pillow case, fuck your appointment with the Russians you're not going to make it

    Alonzo Harris: [while he puts his guns inside the pillow case Sara gave him] so you're going to hook me and book me? You're the one that was smoking the dust, you're the one who ran out like a maniac and you're the one who shot Roger

    Jake: How about the gun in your ankle?

    Alonzo Harris: You want the one in my back pocket?

    Jake: Yeah I would

    Alonzo Harris: You got one problem though, you got no witnesses, who are your fucking witnesses? Roger? Smiley? You think my troops are going to help you? What can you prove? Where's your evidence?

    Jake: [points to the bag filled with money as Alonzo flicks a cigarette into Jake's face] It's right there

  • Doug Rosselli: [telling Alonzo a story in a steakhouse restaurant with Lou, and Stan present] There's a serial burglar we're chasing him for twelve months, a real slickster and he gave up nothing. His sentencing was today so before the hearing he gets a hold of some peanut butter and he packs his ass crack with it, he's standing tall before the judge and he's ready to give a statement, he shoves his hand down his pants and it comes out with a glob of extra chunky Jiff, bailiffs won't come near him. Now he's looking at the judge in the eyes and licks his fingers clean, so the judge says "this poor man is insane, he can't go to prison", orders him to get a psychiatric evaluation and by the time the judge found out it was sandwich spread, the order was already signed and the guy had already been transferred, after six months in the puzzle factory they call him "normal" and let him loose, he'll never do a day in prison. One day I'm going to find this guy on the street and I'm going to kill him.

  • Alonzo Harris: [repeated line to several people on different occasions] You wanna go to jail or you wanna go home?

  • Alonzo Harris: [repeated line to Jake, referring to police, procedures, rules and regulations don't apply to all situations therefore police officers need to make their own judgment and discretion when in the field] You did what you had to do.

  • Alonzo Harris: [repeated line to several people in different situations] It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.

  • Alonzo Harris: Yeah, I know you got secrets. Everybody got secrets. Didn't know you liked to get wet, dog.

    Jake: What's "wet"?

    Alonzo Harris: Butt-naked. Ill. Sherms. Dust. PCP. Primos. P-Dog. That's what you had. That's what you were smoking, you couldn't taste it?
