Quotes 

• Dave Brown : [to Kyle Timkins]  Bear in mind that I am not a racist. Fact is, I hate all people equally. And if it helps, I've slept with some of your people. You wanna be mad at someone, try J. Edgar Hoover. He was a racist. Or the Founding Fathers, all slave-owners.

• Dave Brown : I don't cheat on my taxes... you can't cheat on something you never committed to.

• Dave Brown : Every shooting testimony contains inconsistencies. Otherwise you wouldn't have a job. No man whoever shoots and kills another man is entirely cogent in the moment. No plan survives contact with the enemy.

  Joan Confrey : Did you learn that with the first man you killed?

  Dave Brown : I learned that serving my country as a non-electric pop-up target in an often misunderstood crusade for liberty and justice, turned puppet-show for politicians, known as the Vietnam War.

• Dave Brown : You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

  Linda Fentress : [consternation smile] 

  Dave Brown : In this bar.

• Dave Brown : I want you to know, I never hurt any good people.

  Helen : What about us?

• Helen : Hey, Date Rape.

  Dave Brown : Don't call me that.

• Dave Brown : This used to be a glorious soldiers department. And now it's... you.

  [indicating Jane] 

• Dave Brown : [giving driving lessons]  You aim for the shortest wetback and watch him skedaddle. Plow the dice and the Schlitz Malt Liquor cans. And hit your siren as well. Let's see what we got...

  [accelerates into pedestrians] 

  Dave Brown : [screeches to a halt]  You'll get the hang of it.

  Jane : Aren't you worried?

  Dave Brown : About?

  Jane : Getting a 1-28?

  Dave Brown : Okay, listen, this is the most important thing I've told you so far. Everything you learned at the academy - bullshit. Illegal is just a sick bird. Just a military occupation, kid. Emergency law. Alright, let's have some fun...

• Dave Brown : [to Kyle Timkins]  I've been up the river, motherfucker, when you were still sucking on your mama's tit.

• LAPD Union Rep : Why do you still want to be a cop?

  Dave Brown : Because I'm a dutiful hard-charging motherfucker and I want to explicate the LAPD's somewhat hyperbolized misdeeds with true panache regardless of my alleged transgressions. Capiche?

• Dave Brown : You wanna cuddle later?

  Barbara : I have a boyfriend.

  Dave Brown : Cheat on him!

  Barbara : Like you cheat on your taxes?
