The First Deadly Sin (1980)

Anthony Zerbe: Captain Broughton

Quotes 

• Captain Broughton : I was put in here because this precinct has become a shit-house. Sloppy, inefficient, antiquated... They needed somebody to clean it up, put it in touch with the 20th century. That's me. Now Delaney, I have made my reputation kickin' ass and never suckin' up to the brass. And I intend to make the 27th a shining example of how mechanization and good old-fashioned discipline can turn a piss-hole back into a police station. I dote on absolute loyalty, dedication, and everybody doing what they're told to do, and when I order people to do a certain job, I don't want anyone takin' 'em off for a special assignment. Now, that brings us to you, Delaney

  Edward Delaney : Captain, I been workin' on the Gilbert murder, and I think there's a link between his killing and several other killings that have been happening all over this town...

  Captain Broughton : Wa-wa-wa-wa-wait! Delaney, you're not listening. I don't want to hear theories about murders taking place in other parts of the city.

  Edward Delaney : But if I'm right, Captain, there's a psycho runnin' around the town!

  Captain Broughton : Delaney, I'm tellin' you for the last time, I don't want to hear it. All I care about is cleaning up the garbage in *this* dump. I got enough whores, pimps, queers, freaks roamin' around out there to start my own Macy's parade. So if you got Jack the Ripper goin' down on Lizzie Borden in the middle of Times Square, *I* don't wanna' know about it!
