Hugh Dillon: Constable Ed Lane

Quotes 

• Delia Semple : Not a bad vacation for the guys who get to fly over, at least.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Well, if you like jumping over the ocean in a metal coffin, sure.

  Delia Semple : So, there's something that you guys are actually afraid of.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Well, you know what? We all have our weak spots. Could be anything... flying,

  [looks at Ed] 

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : cats.

  Ed Lane : It was one cat; it was mean!

  Mike Scarlatti : [nodding]  I was there; it was mean.

• Ed Lane : Lewis, accompany the sarge.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Eddie, that's not necessary. I'm just making a statement.

  Ed Lane : We know the new route. Those people out there don't and if one of them's planning on taking a run at our guy, that puts you in their way.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Look, hey... Sorry about that cat thing.

  Ed Lane : [mock seriousness]  We will talk about that later.

• Mike Scarlatti : [talking about Donna]  We could put chili peppers in her smoothie?

  Lewis Young : No, shaving cream in her locker. Put shaving cream in her locker.

  Ed Lane : That is a great idea. What, are we in summer camp? We gonna short-sheet her bed next? Come on. She's a 10-year vet. She's been hazed by the best. We gotta come up with something good, something real good.

• Ed Lane : Five minutes is a long time to be walking through that crowd of people, we have no legal ground to restrain, who want to kill this guy.

• Sam Braddock : [discussing options of getting the prisoner safely transported through the airport crowd]  Boss, why don't we take him through customs and then double back to a loading area and have a truck waiting there?

  Ed Lane : Our turf, take custody there, but we gotta keep that crowd preoccupied or they'll follow the truck.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : I can give 'em a little press conference, a little distraction while you guys are getting Elvis out of the building.

  Delia Semple : So, you want to take the prisoner along a non-vetted route, through an international area, where he's back under my jurisdiction, lie to the press and evade the public?

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Pretty much.

  Ed Lane : Pretty much.

  Delia Semple : Let's make it work.

• Ed Lane : [while escorting the prisoner the team comes under fire]  Get down! Get down! Get down!

  Kevin Wordsworth : I'm hit!

• Ed Lane : Wordy, you still need medical assistance.

  Kevin Wordsworth : I'm fine; we need to get Sam.

  Ed Lane : I hear you, I hear you, but with the rounds you took, you're not running after anything.

  Kevin Wordsworth : I'm not sitting this one out.

  Ed Lane : So I'm gonna put you on protection. We can't move that prisoner until we've neutralized the shooter and secured the area. We need you, Wordy, we just need you where we can use you.

• Ed Lane : [on radio]  Boss, we've got a big problem.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : What, you can't take the shot?

  Ed Lane : No, I can take the shot. But if I do, I kill Sam.

• Mike Scarlatti : [Discussing pranks to do to Donna]  Guys after the escort today we take all the Kevlar out of her vest, we fill it with cream cheese, then we do the obstacle course. First time she falls flat on her face,

  [smacks hands together] 

  Mike Scarlatti : instant hilarity.

  Ed Lane : You know what you're a genius.

  [Spike laughs] 

  Ed Lane : Alright Wordy you get a camera for that.

  [Wordy seems un-amused] 

  Ed Lane : What are you Mr. Mature all of a sudden, who's the guy that put the pepper spray in Spike's gear his first day?

  Mike Scarlatti : [Spike and Ed point]  Wordy!
