Quotes 

• Sgt. Joe Fink : [voice-over]  Now we were on the case. Officer Frank Stoolie and me. My name is Fink. Sergeant Joe Fink. I'm a Fink.

• [first lines] 

  Sgt. Joe Fink : [voiceover over a panning shot of a drawing of a sleazy neighbourhood]  My name is Sergeant Joe Fink, working the 24-hour shift out of homicide. And this is my workshop. The part of town that everybody knows about, but that nobody wants to see - where the tragedies are deeper, the ecstasy's wilder and the crime rate consistently higher than anywhere else. Skid Row... my beat.

• Sgt. Joe Fink : How's the wife, Frank?

  Officer Frank Stoolie : Not bad, Joe.

  Sgt. Joe Fink : Glad to hear it. The kids?

  Officer Frank Stoolie : Lost one yesterday.

  Sgt. Joe Fink : Lost one, eh? How'd that happen?

  Officer Frank Stoolie : Playing with matches.

  Sgt. Joe Fink : Well, those are the breaks.

  Officer Frank Stoolie : Yeah, I guess so.

• Sgt. Joe Fink : We just want to ask you a few questions.

  Mushnick : I didn't do it.

  Officer Frank Stoolie : Do what?

  Mushnick : Whatever.

• Audrey : I wish you'd break out and tell me.

  Mushnick : All right, I'll tell you tomorrow right after I am telling the police.

  Sgt. Joe Fink : [voice-over]  But Mushnick didn't come to the police. If he had, that might have been the finish of the unhappy story. It was not.
