Quotes
I just wanna get closer to George.- Mike Locken
(laughs) So you find him and you zap him. Will that change Weyburn's mind? Will that give you back your knee and your elbow?- Cap Collins
No, no, but, uh, wherever they are I know they'll be a lot happier.- Mike Locken
No, hold, hold it Jerome. Jerome. Don't, uh, don't pull down on a cop.- Mike Locken
Do what he says, Jerome.- Fake Officer
Oh, are you crazy? Now you just made me an accessory.- Mike Locken
Mike, there's a garbage truck blockin' the alley and no garbage in sight.- Mac
Yeah I know, I wish Miller were in it.- Mike Locken
Oh, wait a minute. I, I understand it now. Y'see, he wants to go back to die on his own native soil. It's that salmon-up-the-river shit.- Mike Locken
Shoot him!- Tommie
He happens to have a gun at your head.- Mike Locken
You wouldn't shoot an 18 year old girl. Would you?- Tommie
(gleefully) You bet I would. You bet I would.- George Hansen
You just retired, Mike. Enjoy it.- George Hansen
