Nick : [Devon tried to surprise Nick with a box of donuts while being aware that Vinnie's men were determined to kill him] People are trying to kill you. Are you some kind of bonehead or what?
Devon : I'm not, and you don't have to yell!
Nick : I can't handle this anymore. I can't handle it. Look, pick a city, Cincinatti, Cleveland. You take you and your grandmother. You go there, I'll pay for it!
Devon : You call this being a father?
Nick : [softly] I'm not your father
[loudly]
Nick : and I ain't your partner, either!
Devon : Fine! I don't want you to be my father. I don't want you to be my partner. I don't want you to be anything!
[slams the box of donuts on the sidewalk, walks across the corner to catch a bus at the bus stop]
Devon : I'll just handle things myself!

Devon : Haven't you ever heard about secondary smoke?
Nick : Haven't you ever heard about minding your own business?

Nick : [throws his cigar out the window] Happy?
Devon : Now you're littering.

Rio : Hey, how you doing, farthead?
McNally : Mr. big shot with the cops, huh?
Devon : Don't you morons have anything else to do?
[Rio throws his jacket on the ground]
Devon : What'd you do that for?
Rio : Because, you called me a moron.
Devon : So, throwing your jacket on the ground makes you smarter?
McNally : This kid's making me nuts.
Devon : [Looking at Vinnie's car, then giving the two bullies a serious look] Hey, guys. I can't kid around anymore, I'm watching my grandma's car.
McNally : Oh, so you're here with grandma?
Devon : [nods] Mm-hmm.
Rio : Oh. So this is grandmommy's car, huh?
Devon : Guys, please. Bust me up. But, not the car, please.
Rio : You mean, don't do this?

Rio : Aww, too bad.

Chu : WHOA! Hey, wha... What are you doing?
Rudy : Get out of here, boys!
Chu : [kicks one of the two bullies who run off in fear] I'll break your face!
Rudy : I'm gonna get my hands on you!
Chu : That's what you are! If we find out where you at!
Rudy : We will get you, stupid little brats!
Chu : [to Rudy] Let's get back in the car. Come on, let's go.

Mr. Herman Fleming : [to Devon] Now, tell me. What have you learned today? Sit up straight.
Devon : That I can hold my breath a lot longer than I thought I could.
Mr. Herman Fleming : Do I sense... uh... a little insolence?
Devon : No.
Mr. Herman Fleming : Devon, Devon, Devon, Devon. Lies are not explanations.
Devon : I'm not lying. Every day, these big jumbos come and take my money. They put me in the toilet and they hold me upside down.
Mr. Herman Fleming : Always blaming it on someone else. You leave me no choice, Devon. I have to call your grandmother.
Devon : Mr. Fleming, please. You don't have to call her. She can't take personal calls. It makes her sick and she's on a very hard shift now.
Mr. Herman Fleming : Sit down, Devon.
[Devon sits back down]
Mr. Herman Fleming : Devon, if I don't make this call, you will never learn and I would have done you a great injustice.
[calls his grandmother]
Mr. Herman Fleming : 283, isn't it?
Devon : Yeah.
[bows his head]
Mr. Herman Fleming : What?
Devon : Yes, Mr. Fleming.
[bows his head again]
Mr. Herman Fleming : Thank you.

Devon : [to Nick] I nabbed the purse snatcher.
[Devon is holding onto a man's leg]
Purse Thief : My wife forgot her purse. I was trying to catch her before she got on the bus!
Devon : You're not a purse snatcher?
Purse Thief : No. I'm calling the cops.
Nick : I am a police officer.
Purse Thief : Great. What are you gonna do about this?
Nick : [looking at Devon] This? I'm gonna kill this.
-
Nick : [to Devon] Why do you think I spend hours and hours at the range, shooting at silhouettes, shooting the hearts right out of 'em? Every single day. I've been doin' that for years. Why do you think I do that? I do that because I don't wanna chase anybody. I don't like to run, so I want you to give me the plate number.
Devon : Hey, this is more like it. Partners are supposed to fight. Partner love/hate relationship.
Nick : We don't have a love/hate relationship! We have a hate/hate relationship.
-
Devon : At least you have each other, even though you don't have more plates.

Chu : Imagine this little punk!
[Rudy throws the crushed walkie-talkie to the floor]
Devon : You owe me $9.95!
[Rudy and Chu grab Devon and sit him between them in the front seat]
Rudy : Get over here, you little... Sit down! Don't move!
[Devon sees the George & Howell Maritime Centre main gate]
Chu : [pushes Devon back] What are you lookin' at? What's the matter with you?
