Good Cop (2011)

Enrico Colantoni: Sergeant Gregory 'Greg' Parker

Quotes 

• Sgt. Blount : You still think you can target their leaders?

  Gregory Parker : It's hard to pin them down when they're using black-block techniques.

  Sam Braddock : [Watching security footage of protesters swarming Spike in the SUV]  Dress in black, hide your face, vandalize, agitate.

  Jules Callaghan : And then blend right back into the block. Or ditch the black gear and disappear back into the civilians.

  Mike Scarlatti : Except I recognize him. Guy with the eyebrow scar, he got right in my face. I can do a facial recognition search from the INTERPOL database.

  [Isolating face of protester with scar] 

  Jules Callaghan : Check out his body language, even the civilians are following his lead.

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : But we get too close, he disappears. We'd have to round up everyone who's dressed like him.

  Mike Scarlatti : Isn't that fashion profiling?

  [Sam chuckles] 

• Ed Lane : Gentlemen.

  Sam Braddock : Look who drops in.

  Ed Lane : How are you?

  [Ed shakes Sam's hand] 

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : Didn't bring Isabelle?

  [Wordy and Ed shake hands] 

  Ed Lane : Nah, I left her at home. She gets too much attention, this is my entrance.

  Mike Scarlatti : Get her in here sooner we're staging a raid.

  Ed Lane : How are ya

  [Spike and Ed hug] 

  Mike Scarlatti : Oh, sorry don't want to pop a stitch.

  Ed Lane : It's good all the stitches are gone. I'm good.

  Gregory Parker : Well you're a sight for sore eyes.

  Ed Lane : Still in one piece without me?

  Gregory Parker : We get by.

• Gregory Parker : [regarding a mob outside a courthouse]  Remember, they look at us today, they're not seeing the good guys, so no mistakes.

• Gregory Parker : Mr. Buteau, I can't imagine what you're feeling right now, but your son wouldn't want more violence.

  Jean Paul Buteau : No, no, you don't get to tell me what my son would want!

  Gregory Parker : I know he was a good kid, straight-A student. He was a leader, believed in peace.

  Jean Paul Buteau : And what did peace get him?

  Gregory Parker : Sir, you can set the tone here, right now. You can lead by example, like your son did. Honor his memory by walking away with your head held high. Come on.

  Jean Paul Buteau : Walk away now? That's not peace, that's surrender!

• Gregory Parker : You flex your muscles, you might push 'em past the tipping point.

  Sgt. Blount : Crowd psychology has its own rule. The collective IQ drops by half and people do crazy-ass crap they'd never do alone, which is why we have to keep our message real simple.

  Gregory Parker : Tim, this isn't your everyday mob here. There are innocent people.

  Sgt. Blount : Greg, I'm sorry, I'm working here. Sign me up for your workshop on a training day.

• Gregory Parker : Eddie, anarchists target property; guns target people. There's something wrong with this picture.

• Ed Lane : Bill Greeley was my responsibility. I lost him, Greg.

  Gregory Parker : So what? You're human.

  Ed Lane : I got to make good on this call, Greg.

  Gregory Parker : Why is that?

  Ed Lane : Because it's my last.

• Gregory Parker : Okay, team, we're at an emotional ground zero here. Full circle. No one's gonna be thinking rationally today.

• Gregory Parker : If it comes down to his life or hers, we're gonna have to shoot your friend. Unless you... help us get through to her.

  Ed Lane : Happens fast. That's a single shot to Pippi's brainstem.

  Gregory Parker : Officer Lane here is a sniper. He can do it from two kilometers away.

  Ed Lane : I never miss.
