Quotes 

• Bill O'Neal : A badge is scarier than a gun.

  Roy Mitchell : Would you mind explaining that for me?

  Bill O'Neal : Any nigger on the streets can get a gun, sir. A badge is like you got the whole damn army behind you.

• Roy Mitchell : I'm all for civil rights but you can't cheat your way to equality. And you certainly can't shoot your way to it.

• Bill O'Neal : Hey, listen, I'm out, Roy. I'm out!

  Roy Mitchell : Calm down. Calm down, Bill.

  Bill O'Neal : Don't you tell me to fuckin' calm down, all right? I was almost killed, man! Now, Fred's in jail, I did the damn job, and I'm out!

  Roy Mitchell : No, that's not how it works.

  Bill O'Neal : What the fuck do you mean, 'That's not how it works'? Why don't you give me one good reason why I don't just book it outta here right now?

  Roy Mitchell : Because... Because, as I've mentioned, it's a year and a half for the stolen car, and five years for impersonating a federal officer. And if you run, I will hunt you down, you understand...

• Roy Mitchell : Forgive me, I'm confused. So, this kid, Alex Rackley, was labelled an informant, and then killed... by an actual FBI informant. And we're just letting him walk for murder?

  Leslie Carlyle : It's beautiful. He's on the lam, right? So, any time he goes into a Panther office, we get a warrant for harboring a fugitive. He's in the interview room right now with our liaison guys, planning the next stop on his little tour.

  Roy Mitchell : Wow. That's, uh...

  Leslie Carlyle : Takes a thief to catch a thief, Roy.
