• Coffy : The only cop I know to get a dislocated toe, while run over by his own squad car, while writing a ticket because the hand brake wasn't set.

  Carter : Come on, Coffy, don't tell stories like that.

  Coffy : And I had to hold your hand while they set it.

• Coffy : [getting coffee]  You want some?

  Carter : Yes. Black, please.

• Coffy : Wouldn't you want to kill somebody who had done a thing like that to your little sister?

  Carter : I sure would.

  Coffy : Then, you'd think it'd be right?

  Carter : What? To kill some pusher who's only sellin' so he can get money to buy for himself? What good would that do, Coffy? When he's only a part of a chain that reaches all the way back to some poor farmer in Turkey or Vietnam. What would you do? Kill all of 'em?

  Coffy : Well, why not? Nothing else seems to do any good!

• Carter : Coffy, is there something you want to talk to somebody about?

  Coffy : Yeah, as a matter of fact. Why don't we go some place and find a cup of coffee.

  Carter : I make the greatest cup of coffee on earth!
