- Antonio Dawson: You know how we work? Let's say Atwater did go up to Wilkes, tap him and say 'Excuse me, sir, I saw you selling illegal narcotics, would you mind coming with me downtown so I can lock you up for the next 30 years?' and you know what happens then? The guy takes a .22 Glock from his waistband and that's all she wrote.
- Peter Stone: I would advise you to remember you are no longer at CPD.
- Antonio Dawson: Believe me I won't. You know, Atwater's just a guy, worse than some, maybe, but better than most. What kind of prick would go out of his way to ruin a man like that?
- Kevin Atwater: Really I didn't have to do anything. I should've just let Wilkes alone, let him go on selling his drugs, kill somebody's kid.
