HARRY: May I make a statement, McKay?

McKAY: Go ahead.

HARRY: Your mouthwash aint makin' it.


HARRY: Marvelous.


DiGEORGIO: What do they want?

CALLAHAN: They want a car.

DiGEORGIO: What are you gonna do?

CALLAHAN: Give them one.


DiGEORGIO: What makes a man crazy enough to join the cops?

CALLAHAN: If you find out, you let me know, huh?


McKAY: I'm not gonna debate this with you, Inspector. I've been on the phone with the mayor twice this morning. He went right through the ceiling over this.

CALLAHAN: Did you tell him about the meeting?

McKAY: What meeting?

CALLAHAN: The meeting right here in your office two months ago when you said high priority was to run the hoods out of San Francisco.

McKAY: I never said to use violence!

CALLAHAN: Well what'd you want me to do? Yell "trick or treat" at them?

BRESSLER: Come on, Harry.

McKAY: I expect you and every other man on the force to behave with restraint or turn in his resignation. You're on notice, Callahan. This little Wild West show of yours yesterday is exactly the kind of thing this department is no longer prepared to tolerate. Is that clear?

BRESSLER: Yes, sir.

CALLAHAN: If that's all, Captain, I've got work to do.

McKAY: But not in Homicide.

CALLAHAN: What?

McKAY: You've been transferred to Personnel.

CALLAHAN: To Personnel? That's for assholes!

McKAY: I was in Personnel for ten years.

CALLAHAN: Yeah.


MRS. GREY: His Honor intends to broaden the areas of participation for women in the police force.

CALLAHAN: Well that sounds very stylish.


CALLAHAN: Hypothetical situation, huh? All right, I'm standing on the street corner and Mrs. Grey here comes up and propositions me... that if I come home with her, for five dollars she'll put on an exhibition with a Shetland pony.

MRS. GREY: If this is your idea of humor, Inspector...

BOARD EXAMINER: All right, what are you trying to do here, Callahan?

CALLAHAN: I'm just trying to find out if anybody in this room knows what the hell law's being broken... besides cruelty to animals.


CALLAHAN: If she wants to play lumberjack, she's gonna have to learn to handle her end of the log.


CALLAHAN: Captain, if you want to jerk all these people off you can, but don't do it with me.

McKAY: That's it Callahan. You just got yourself a sixty day suspension!

CALLAHAN: Make it ninety!

McKAY: 180. Give me your star!

CALLAHAN: (Hands over badge) Here's a seven-point suppository, Captain.

McKAY: What did you say?

CALLAHAN: I said stick it in your ass!


CALLAHAN: I'll be down there in five minutes, and you'd better have that file open, you pencil-pushing son-of-a-bitch!


CALLAHAN: Does everything have a sexual connotation with you?


MUSTAPHA: You really are a dirty bastard, ain't ya, Harry?

CALLAHAN: The dirtiest.


CALLAHAN: You're not making us feel too welcome.

MUSTAPHA MEMBER: Oh, you're welcome. About as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool.
