Daniel Roebuck: Sgt. Staples

Quotes 

• Sgt. Staples : We've uncovered an unacceptable pattern of behavior that absolutely has to change. Although we've cleared you of criminal charges, during the course of our on-going investigation, we found several interactions with suspects in which you displayed an unwarranted amount of physical contact.

  Louie Provenza : And, as I've pointed out, in each instance Detective Sanchez was severely reprimanded.

  Sgt. Staples : And those reprimands are not having the desired effect, it seems, are they, Lieutenant?

  Sharon Raydor : In consultation with Professional Standards, the sergeant and I have come up with a compromise that will allow you to remain on active duty.

  Sgt. Staples : L.A.P.D. requires that you attend two anger management sessions a week over the next twelve months. Detective, I urge you to follow this solution in-in the hope that it can resolve this ongoing issue you have at work, and it seems, in your life. I will forward the paperwork over. Okay?

  Julio Sanchez : Yes, okay.

  Sgt. Staples : Very good.

  Sharon Raydor : Thank you, Sergeant.

  Sgt. Staples : Captain.

  Sharon Raydor : Mm-hm.

  Louie Provenza : Julio, this anger management is a "get out of jail free" card, and the compromise that the captain has worked out...

  Julio Sanchez : I appreciate it, Captain. I do.

  Sharon Raydor : I know, Julio, but you have to follow through with it, otherwise this deal falls completely apart.

  Julio Sanchez : Don't worry, ma'am. I'm ready. In fact, I'm gonna need all the anger management help I can find.

  [sighs] 

  Julio Sanchez : Excuse me.

• Sharon Raydor : Sergeant Staples, it's good to see you.

  Sgt. Staples : Captain.

  Sharon Raydor : Although I wish it were under different circumstances.

  Sgt. Staples : Thank you for turning over the crime scene.

  Louie Provenza : Well, there's never been a rule she didn't follow.
