• Sam McCloud : The shortest distance between two points is a row of corn.

  Sergeant Joe Broadhurst : Is this your idea of a shortcut?

  Sam McCloud : Just think of 5th Ave. during rush hour.

• Peter B. Clifford : Sergeant, I use that title in this temporary sense, I thought I said I didn't want to see the two of you around here?

  Sergeant Joe Broadhurst : It seemed important, chief.

  Peter B. Clifford : It always does. Alright, spit it out.

  Sam McCloud : Two of Straker's men just worked me over. Doesn't that strike you as rather odd?

  Peter B. Clifford : Not really, I've suppressed the thought myself on many occasions.

• Sergeant Joe Broadhurst : I suppose it didn't occur to you that you'd be getting the both of us, if you'll pardon the expression, into a heap of trouble?

  Sam McCloud : Ya got to boil the hog to get the lard!

• Sheriff Matheson : Some cops go bad.

  Sam McCloud : Not this one. He's so straight it makes you cry.

• Sam McCloud : I just had a run-in with a couple o' eighteen-wheelers across the highway there, did ya see 'em? They tried to kill us!

  Second Officer : You sure you didn't just try to cut in front of 'em? Truckers don't like that.

• Sam McCloud : Ya know, a lot's happened t' me since I seen ya last, Bonnie. I've embarrassed the New York Police Department, I've been suspended from the force, I've been handcuffed to a fellow officer, I've been beaten up and sprayed with DDT. But since I've come this far, that is if you don't mind, I'd just as soon talk to ya alone.

• Sam McCloud : You're a cog in Clifford's machinery! You're the butt end of his cigar!

  Sergeant Joe Broadhurst : I'm gonna make you eat those words, McCloud. Every one!

• Sergeant Joe Broadhurst : My promotion is at stake. I'm not blowin' 15 years on the force and 8 years of marriage just to help make you a hero.

  Sam McCloud : You don't have to worry about your promotion, you're not gonna make Lieutenant. Do you know why? Huh? Do you know why?

  Sergeant Joe Broadhurst : You'd better spell it out for me, McCloud.

  Sam McCloud : [shouting]  Because you have no guts. No guts! That's the trouble with you city policemen, you gotta have an order to breathe. You know, where I come from, when we get on the trail of something, we just mount up and ride off.
