Line Up or Shut Up (2013)

James Hiroyuki Liao: Jay Lee

Quotes 

• Al Burns : Nice ride, huh?

  Jay Lee : "Nice" hardly covers it. This slice of heaven goes from 0 to 120 in eight seconds.

  Al Burns : Yeah, I had a Dodge Dart Swinger in high school that was pretty fast.

  Jay Lee : A Swinger? With the flower over the "I" logo?

  Al Burns : Yeah, that's right. I'd forgotten. Aw, I loved that car.

  Jay Lee : Okay, boss, if we're gonna work together on this case, there's something you got to understand: the Ferrari 458 is perhaps the highest achievement of automotive engineering known to man.

  Al Burns : I noticed it didn't have, like, a cup holder for the Super Big Chug from Stop & Fill. See, I got to have that in any car I drive.

  [Jay shakes his head in dismay] 

  Al Burns : So, when you're done "examining" the evidence, be nice if we had an ID on our victim.

• Jay Lee : Our vic's prints aren't in the system, but it turns out the car was involved in a chase last night. Simple traffic stop; ran through the signal, then took off.

  Al Burns : So, what, some... rich kid on a joyride?

  Jay Lee : Maybe. Uh, DMV confirms our Swiss guy bought it this week. That's why there are no plates; it's still too new. My money, I'd say Emminger's our best lead.

  Al Burns : Which is why we're heading to his place in Mamaroneck for a chat. Jay, stay on the dead kid. Sooner or later, someone's gonna miss him, file a missing persons.

  Jay Lee : You got it.

  [Al turns to leave] 

  Jay Lee : Come on, a Dodge Swinger? Really?

  Al Burns : Yep, really.

• Al Burns : I ran a search on all the garages in the area, cross-referenced - that's the term you use, right, Jay? - cross-referenced with criminal violations and found... Juno's on 11th Avenue. Auto body shop registered to Alma Delaney. Convicted in Jersey on a variety of charges, including receiving stolen goods. Recently moved her shop from North Bergen.

  Jay Lee : That's, uh, incredible.

  Al Burns : Yeah. Carrie and I are headed over there right now.

  Jay Lee : Oh, no, I meant it's incredible that, uh, you did all this computer stuff by yourself.

  Al Burns : What's the matter, Jay? Afraid you're gonna be obsolete?

  Jay Lee : [awkward laugh]  Yeah. Yeah, right. Did you help him?

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : No.

• Jay Lee : So, faux watches, sunglasses, we all know about those, but the world of fake luxury cars is a multimillion-dollar business. Cars shine on the outside, engine parts not so much. Faux-raris, right?

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : Buyers know what they're getting?

  Jay Lee : Maybe. I'm gonna say most don't. Most folks probably can't tell the difference. I mean, some people think that a Dodge Swinger is a slick ride.

  Al Burns : [playfully shoving the back of his head]  Okay, so you put down half a mil on one of these, then you find out you've been ripped off. Guys have been shot for less.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : Yeah, but why take it out on the delivery boy? I mean, I'd go after the guy who sold me the car.

• Jay Lee : You guys okay? I heard about Castigan.

  Al Burns : Oh, the place was trashed, but whoever did Castigan was long gone.

  Jay Lee : And, uh, how were the cars?

  Al Burns : [sarcastic]  I think they're gonna pull through.

• Jay Lee : You didn't really have a Dodge Swinger in high school, right?

  Al Burns : Sure. Why not?

  Jay Lee : I don't know, just... not how I imagined you, I guess.

  Al Burns : Well, people will surprise you.

  [Jay moves to leave] 

  Al Burns : Jay. I had a '65 Shelby Mustang. 428 under the hood, with a top-loading four-speed and a Traction-Lok rear end I built myself. Ran it into a tree night of my senior prom.

  Jay Lee : Still... that's more like it.
