• Lt. Roy Devitt, SFPD : Now listen...

  Detective Lt. Mike Stone : No, you're right, Roy, I was way out of line. But a policeman's been shot - a brother. And there's some born scum out there laughing about it right now and I want to see him nailed.

  Lt. Roy Devitt, SFPD : Yeah, I understand.

  Detective Lt. Mike Stone : I just want to make sure that the law stands by a man who spent his whole life trying to make it work.

  Lt. Roy Devitt, SFPD : Okay, you call the shots.

• Detective Lt. Mike Stone : [rousting an ex-con]  He used a .38 to cut down a cop.

  Eddie Suslow : Shot a cop? He can't be all bad.

  [Stone begins to boil with anger] 

  Eddie Suslow : Okay, take it easy.

  Detective Lt. Mike Stone : Now you know what's walking, running, and crawling. You know who's hard up and wo's holding on. I want you on the street with your ear to the pavement, and I want the name of that punk who pulled the trigger. You just call me every hour on the hour.

  Eddie Suslow : Or what?

  Detective Lt. Mike Stone : You just be two minutes late and I'll show you "or what."
