Quotes 

• [Esposito walks into the precinct handcuffed to Joey] 

  Kevin Ryan : Okay... Care to explain?

  Javier Esposito : What? The handcuffs?

  Kevin Ryan : No, no, the stylish shoes that you're wearing. Yes, the handcuffs.

  Javier Esposito : Well, junior here tried to pull a Houdini on me last night.

  Joey Malone : Who the hell's Houdini?

  Javier Esposito : Shut up.

  Kevin Ryan : Out the window?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah.

  Kevin Ryan : Down the fire escape?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah. And then onto a moving garbage truck. Then on a skateboard for five blocks, which took him all the way to the L-train.

  Kevin Ryan : How'd you keep up?

  Joey Malone : He didn't.

  Javier Esposito : Shut up.

• Joey Malone : So, uh, you must be the good cop.

  Javier Esposito : Oh, I don't know about that. But... I could be your ticket out of this.

  Joey Malone : Yeah?

  Javier Esposito : Mm-hmm.

  Joey Malone : How's that work?

  Javier Esposito : We know you didn't kill Holly. All you did was lift a bunch of jewelry.

  Joey Malone : Man, I did...

  Javier Esposito : Just save it. We don't care about the jewelry. We can take those charges off the table. All we want is the guy who put you up to it.

  Joey Malone : I-I don't even know who you're talking about.

  Javier Esposito : Joey, come... I just gave you the winning lottery ticket. Now the right move here is to cash that in, not tear it up.

  Joey Malone : I bet this is the part where you tell me I don't know the seriousness of my situation. How unless I tell you everything I know, you can't help me. And then you'll lean in close, like you care about me, and like you're my friend... and you'll make promises you'll never keep.

  Javier Esposito : I keep all my promises, bro.

  Joey Malone : That's what everybody says.

• Javier Esposito : My parents split up when I was five. Man, get your feet off my table... Dad moved to Florida with his new wife. Most I ever got after that was a phone call or a postcard.

  Joey Malone : Postcard?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah.

  Joey Malone : How old are you anyway?

  Javier Esposito : Ancient.

• [last lines] 

  Javier Esposito : If you need, day or night, call me at that number.

  Joey Malone : Okay... You're all right. For a cop.

  Javier Esposito : I know. Now get out of my car.
