Quotes

Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : Listen, I heard about the operation you're going for. There's nothing to worry about. It's a serious procedure, but it's something that's performed successfully every day. The biggest problem is people letting their fear and imagination get out of hand.
Det. Phil Fish : I'm not worried. I got fine doctor and it's a very good hospital
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : Of course, there's no guarantees

Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : You know how they make doughnuts, fry them in hot fat. It's Cholesterol. You know about Cholesterol. It builds up in little globules, in veins, arteries. Clogs them up, so blood can't get to your heart. No... no, they don't tell you that on the box
Det. Sgt. Nick Yemana : I thought it would be like cigarettes

Mr. Strand, Bus Driver : Listen, I got to get out of here, you know how it is

Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Yeah, thanks to you and you and your defeatist attitude
Det. Sgt. Nick Yemana : Here... Here
Mr. Strand, Bus Driver : If you get out of here, I'm warning you, stay off my bus !
