Fort Apache the Bronx (1981)

Michael Higgins: Heffernan

Quotes 

• Connolly : What's all this Indian junk?

  Heffernan : Well, you know the precinct is nicknamed 'Fort Apache'...

  Applebaum : The men put that up, Captain. Guy goes on vacation, he brings back some kind of souvenir, you know?

  Connolly : It makes the place look like a fraternity house... take it down, lieutenant.

  Applebaum : It's not a good idea, Captain.

  Connolly : And let's see about getting this place painted.

  Heffernan : Well that's kind of a problem, painters won't come up here.

  Connolly : We'll have to get all those civilians out from in front of the precinct.

  Applebaum : We can't do that.

  Connolly : [stops, turns and looks Applebaum in the eye]  Excuse me?

  Applebaum : This is the only place the old folks can go without getting mugged. See, it's not a police station, it's a fort in hostile territory, you understand?

  Heffernan : [agreeing]  'Fort Apache'.
