Tia Texada: Maritza Cruz
Quotes
-
Aaron Noble : I was doing research, for a book.
Bosco : Oh my gosh. You know what? Please accept our apologies. Sarge! Sarge stop searching the car. He was only doing research for a book.
Cruz : Oh, didn't somebody already write Dumb and Dumber?
-
Prison Guard : I need a next of kin.
Cruz : I don't have one.
Prison Guard : Cousin? Aunt?
Cruz : I understand the concept. I don't have one.
-
Martiza : Remember one thing: I'm not Faith Yokas.
-
Cruz : Sorry to interrupt kindergarten, but I need, um, Boscorelli.
Lt. Swersky : For the whole tour?
Cruz : I'll get him back when I can.
Bosco : Duty calls, boys. Think of me fondly with every parking ticket you issue.
-
Dispatcher : Complainant still does not wish to be contacted.
Cruz : Oh, well then beautiful! Then why don't we just leave, huh? Why don't we just let you figure this out all by yourselves, huh? I mean, it bothers you enough to call, at least have the balls to say that it was you!
[Monroe laughs]
Cruz : What?
Monroe : Bosco said the exact same thing.
-
[about Mikey's deal]
Cruz : You don't tell me what's what, Boscorelli.
Bosco : Make alternate arrangements. He's not doing it.
Cruz : Yeah, we'll see about that.
Bosco : He's not doing it!
Cruz : What the hell you gonna do about it?
Bosco : Leave him the hell alone, you hear me?
Cruz : I don't think so.
Bosco : You don't think so? I don't know how many times I can tell you this. Listen to me. And listen real close... If you hurt my brother I'm gonna kill you. And that's a promise.
-
[to Yokas about Mann]
Cruz : He started the day trying to put you, me, and Bosco out of commission. Now, you do what you're thinking, and he got two out of three. It's not about you, or me. It's about not letting him win. Now say it! He drew the knife and tried to stab me.
-
Prison Guard : Cruz! Cruz! Come on, come on.
Cruz : Speak up, I think a few people in Guam didn't hear you.
-
Roberta Muskos : If it wasn't her brother, it was somebody else's.
Cruz : Oh, that's brilliant.
Roberta Muskos : Are you calling me stupid?
Cruz : No. Pissing off a cop who's gonna be out of here by five o'clock is... is genius.
-
[about being raped]
Cruz : I know what it feels like. I know what it feels like to... to wanna wash the filth off you!
Councilman Daniels : Pull the trigger!
Cruz : You think it was hard for you to step up? I'm a police sergeant.
Councilman Daniels : Do it!
Cruz : I do that, they win. We can't let them win!
-
Brendan Finney : We called for backup and nobody came.
Cruz : It looks like there was response to me.
Brendan Finney : Yeah, well it took long enough!
Davis : You weren't at the original location, Finney. We had to find you.
Brendan Finney : Right.
Davis : Believe what you want.
Brendan Finney : Man, what the hell happened to you?
Davis : Sasha Monroe!
-
Cruz : Oh, see I think you've got me confused with other cops here, Maddox. I'll do just about anything to get what I want.
-
[about Michael]
Cruz : I'm half tempted to put him up for a Citizen of the Year award. Maddox is as bad as they come.
Lt. Swersky : He murdered a prisoner in the middle of my station house. That doesn't make him much better.
-
Cruz : Hey! I'm Cruz. You looking for me?
-
[to Bosco]
Cruz : Yeah, thinking seems to be where you run into problems.
-
[about Bosco]
Miguel White : I thought you had to be smart to be a cop.
Cruz : There's an exception to every rule.
-
Aaron Noble : I got my first amendment rights.
Cruz : Try using the fifth.
-
Lt. Swersky : You missed roll call.
Cruz : Yeah, I had trouble finding my costume.
-
Lt. Swersky : Here's a summons packet. I think 25 a week will do.
Cruz : I'm a sergeant.
Lt. Swersky : Then you should know how to fill them out.
Cruz : If I was a guy I would've been promoted off the work I did. I got more collars than anyone in this whole department.
Lt. Swersky : Good point. Someone like you could probably get me 50.
