District Attorney Rothko : You're lucky I'm not indicting you for assault with intent to commit murder.
Harry Callahan : What?
District Attorney Rothko : Where the hell does it say that you've got a right to kick down doors, torture suspects, deny medical attention and legal counsel? Where have you been? Does Escobedo ring a bell? Miranda? I mean, you must have heard of the Fourth Amendment. What I'm saying is that man had rights.
Harry Callahan : Well, I'm all broken up about that man's rights.

Harry Callahan : Are you trying to tell me that ballistics can't match the bullet up to this rifle?

Harry Callahan : And who says that?
District Attorney Rothko : It's the law.
Harry Callahan : Well, then the law is crazy.
