Quotes 

• Murphy : You want to go out tonight, have a drink?

  Isabella : Two hundred cops ask me out every day. Why should I say yes to you?

  Murphy : Cause you say yes to all the others.

  Isabella : Well I guess that makes you the only cop in the Bronx I say no to.

• Murphy : [Murphy and Isabella are playing the game of you-tell-me-about-me while on their first date. Murphy starts telling Isabella about herself]  Poor family, you're the oldest. You've got a lot of brothers and sisters. You got a brother in the joint. Your mother's sick. You got a scholarship to nursing school and you did real good, but you can't get a job anywhere but here. How'm I doin'?

  Isabella : I don't know yet.

  Murphy : [continuing]  Smoke a little reefer, fool around a little bit, you wanna get married but the selection in the neighborhood ain't that good.

  Isabella : Finished?

  Murphy : Yeah. Now you.

  Isabella : OK, you come from three generations of cops. Your grandfather and your father and your brothers are all cops. All your friends are cops. It's a good thing there are some lady cops or you wouldn't have any sex life.

  [Murphy rolls his eyes knowingly] 

  Isabella : [continuing]  You get drunk every night. You think all men are thieves and all women are sluts, and you don't trust anybody but your partner.

  Murphy : [nodding in agreement]  It's my round.

  Isabella : [stops him]  No, the drinks are on me.
