Movie quotes

  • (..) Do you wanna be a cop, or do you wanna appear to be a cop? It's an honest question. Lot of guys want to appear to be cops. Gun, badge, pretend they're on TV. A lot of them just wanna slam a nigger through a window... I'm set without your own personal job application, sergeant. - What did you say? (..)
