• Inspector Perkins : [Angrily throws personnel file in front of Sledge]  Look at this! You ran a counterfeiter through his own printing press. He was almost killed!

  Sledge Hammer : Yeah, but he looked like a million bucks.

  Inspector Perkins : You have violated twenty-five of the twenty-six amendments to the Constitution!

  Sledge Hammer : I missed one?

• [an inspector from Internal Affairs reviews Hammer's file] 

  Inspector Perkins : We're going to talk to that suspect you've just arrested! I want to see if he wants to file a formal complaint against you.

  [Down in the jail:] 

  Inspector Perkins : Mr. Slag, I want to know if Inspector Hammer has mistreated you in any way.

  [Slag holds up his hands, which are shackled] 

  Inspector Perkins : What are these? Are these shackles really necessary?

  Sledge Hammer : I'm just trying to make his stay in Hotel Hammer a little more uncomfortable.

  Inspector Perkins : Remove these shackles.

  Sledge Hammer : You don't want me to remove them.

  Inspector Perkins : Inspector Hammer!

  [Slag smirks and holds up his hands. Hammer sighs and unlocks the shackles] 

  Inspector Perkins : There. Does that feel better, Slag?

  [Slag immediately starts throttling Perkins. As he chokes and gasps, Hammer stands by calmly] 

  Sledge Hammer : Just, uh, tell me if you want me to help you. You know, just say, "help me, Hammer" and I'll...

  [He leans forward, as though trying to hear] 

  Inspector Perkins : [manages to croak]  Help.

  [Hammer nods and draws his gun] 

  Sledge Hammer : All right, heel, ratboy.

  [Slag drops Perkins, and shrugs innocently] 

• Sledge Hammer : Who are you?

  Cultist : I'm a soldier of the evil!

  Sledge Hammer : Finally, someone I can talk to! At least I know where he's coming from.

• Sledge Hammer : While you were all playing around on the roof, I made a little run to the arsenal. And now - it's HAMMER TIME!

• Captain Trunk : Hammer, this is Inspector Perkins from Internal Affairs!

  Sledge Hammer : A cop who busts cops, huh?

  Inspector Perkins : Does he work here?

  Dori Doreau : This is Inspector Sledge Hammer.

  Inspector Perkins : I don't recall seeing that name. Who is this man you're so clearly abusing?

  Slag : The name is Slag.

  Sledge Hammer : Slag. This rodent is the leader of a bloodthirsty cult of Satan worshippers. And so far, I like him better than I like you.
