Quotes
-
Ed Lane : Shot fired! Officer down! Officer down!
-
Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : What, are we saving cops or we saving drug dealers?
Ed Lane : Don't let it get personal, Wordy.
Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : I'm just saying.
-
Sgt. Gregory Parker : What's his in?
Naismith : He's worked his way up through the ranks over the past eight months from a lowlife to mid-level runner. Trust factor's pretty high, so Asshat's giving Geddes a slice to sell to the neighborhood kids.
Ed Lane : Anything else we need to know?
Naismith : Yeah, you know about the double homicide, right?
Ed Lane : Yeah, yeah. How'd he beat that rap?
Naismith : Joys of the justice system. Look, if this guy feels cornered, he's gonna bite, okay?
Ed Lane : Speed and surprise. We get it.
Naismith : Yeah, you do this right, Geddes gets a shower and shave, okay?
Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : Takes Miriam out someplace nice for a change.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : I thought "junkie chic" got you into all the good restraunts.
Naismith : [ignoring Parker's joke] Good to go? Hmm?
Ed Lane : Absolutely.
Naismith : Okay.
[leaves]
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Did he say "asshat?"
Ed Lane : He said "asshat."

Ed Lane : Alpha team, we're switching up. Sam, you're gonna be three. I'm gonna take lead entry.
Sam Braddock : We're changing the tac plan?
Ed Lane : Tac plan's a thing of beauty - let's go. Jules, Spike, drop us off roof side.
Sam Braddock : Why?
Ed Lane : Because when you're democratically elected team leader, you get to make autocratic decisions. Let's go.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Be careful, children.
-
Sam Braddock : How else was it going to end?
Ed Lane : I don't know! I don't know, but that is not your call! Maybe I was wrong, Sam, maybe.
[shoves Sam against the truck]
Ed Lane : But I need to know that my team is on my side.
[walks away]
Sam Braddock : Well then treat me like I'm on your team.
Ed Lane : [walking back] What?
Sam Braddock : You want to know what happened in Afghanistan? Is that what this is about? I was taking out targets in a stronghold, 1,500 meters away. The reccy was done, I was cleared to fire. We went down to do the I.D's. One of them was my buddy, Matt. I was sniping with a 50 cal. He shouldn't have been there. I was cleared to fire. You just had to ask.
Ed Lane : [softer] You go in on my command. You keep entry formation, and you don't go in without a shield. Are we clear?
Sam Braddock : Sir.

Ed Lane : You ain't got the guts!
Sam Braddock : That's why we get the cool pants.
Ed Lane : That's what I'm sayin.'
