Quotes
-
Herkimer : Tell me, C.C. - why in this day and age would a smart young man decide to become a flatfoot?
C.C. : Well, when I was 10 years old I fell in love with my 4th grade teacher, and *she* married a cop. And I figured if it was good enough for her, it'd be good enough for me.
Herkimer : Amo, amas, amat.
C.C. : *Yeah*. You know, I've read a lot of your stuff in the Journal.
Herkimer : Yeah?
C.C. : You'd've made a good cop.
Herkimer : *Thanks*.
C.C. : Except you're flat at the wrong end.
