Quotes 

• Bob Hodges : [to his new partner]  There's two bulls standing on top of a mountain. The younger one says to the older one: "Hey pop, let's say we run down there and fuck one of them cows". The older one says: "No son. Lets walk down and fuck 'em all".

• Danny McGavin : Hey you know, if you just cut me half as much slack as you do the rest of those assholes, I might just owe you one.

  Bob Hodges : I have, you do.

• Bob Hodges : Do you need anything?

  Officer Rusty Baines : [sarcastically]  Jeez. I don't know Hodges. Maybe some of your valuable expertise?

  Danny McGavin : Hey, I doubt that. You guys are doing such a fine job that's why they call us out here at 3 o'clock in the morning.

  Officer Rusty Baines : Hey, why don't you flying CRASH guys go take a flying fuck.

  Danny McGavin : Hey, fuck you.

  Officer Rusty Baines : [scoffs at McGavin] 

  Danny McGavin : Fuck you.

• Danny McGavin : [Intimidated and backing down]  Hey, Hodges, Uncle Bob. I don't have any problems with you.

  Bob Hodges : [Angrily]  You got problems with the whole fuckin' world, and I'm in it... and I don't like it!

• [first lines] 

  Diaz : Hey Hodges, what do you think about all those hot shot jitter bugs, huh?

  Bob Hodges : What about 'em?

  Diaz : You never went for this shit, did you?

  Bob Hodges : No way.

• Bob Hodges : Who are you?

  Danny McGavin : Rocky 6.

• Leo 'Frog' Lopez : I know the routine, Homes. I owe you. You know, that's what makes this country great, hey, Homes?

  Bob Hodges : What's that?

  Leo 'Frog' Lopez : Credit! You got your Visa card. I got you, Homes.

• Bob Hodges : You wanna look at pussy or learn about this job?

  Danny McGavin : Not yet.

  Bob Hodges : Not yet.

• Bob Hodges : And there they are. The Ville. Crips. Crip de Ville. Stone fuckin' killers. They'll walk into your house, blow you away, sit down, eat, then leave.

• Bob Hodges : [to McGavin]  You can try to be a professional! That's the best you can fuckin' do!

• Danny McGavin : Is 21st street on our list?

  Bob Hodges : Nah. Poor fuckers are professional victims. Get their ass kicked constantly. Kind of a mixed gang. You got Diamond street there, the ville, and the projects on the west so they gotta fight their way in and fight their way out.

  Danny McGavin : They're fucked, huh?

• Bob Hodges : [1:49:50]  Been lookin' for you, Frog.

  Frog : Are we gonna have a rapport, Hodges?

  Frog : Who'd you tell, Homes?

  Bob Hodges : Huh?

  Frog : Who'd you tell?

  Bob Hodges : Nobody.

  Frog : You're a fuckin' liar. I go and do a favor for your lousy partner.

• Bob Hodges : [sitting upside down after crashing their car]  My wife wants to meet you. She says, uh, you can bring a date.

  Danny McGavin : Okay...

• Danny McGavin : Listen, about the other day...

  Bob Hodges : This has nothing to do with the other day.

  Danny McGavin : Shut up! What, I don't get to talk here?

  Bob Hodges : Talk.

  Danny McGavin : I'm sorry about the car. I fucking wiped out, what do you want me to say? Do you want me to say I'm sorry, and it will never happen again? I understand what you're saying. I understand what you're trying to do. But, I didn't sign up for CRASH to play nice to these assholes. You think you get respect? They just laugh, and bump somebody off, and I can't deal with that. And if you can't deal with me, well, I understand that, too.

• Bob Hodges : Do you want to second guess me?

  Danny McGavin : No, I want to go and bust... him.

  Bob Hodges : So what do you want to do, pull a fire extinguisher out of his ass?

  Danny McGavin : Well, I'll plant one there if I have to, and then you can pull it out, so you don't have to be dicking around in the car all the time!

• Bob Hodges : Somebody call my wife and tell her to come get me. Get my wife... Okay, I'm gonna rest my head a minute. Let me catch my breath.

• Frog : [29:17]  So, you back in the jungles, homes?

  Bob Hodges : The jungles? This ain't the jungle, this is Disneyland, man.
