Yokas doesn’t like crumbly newspapers. Bosco doesn’t like the secret service. Sully doesn’t like rap. Kim doesn’t like Jimmy. Carlos doesn’t like God. Bobby doesn’t like Carlos not liking God. Davis doesn’t like mobs.

Bosco: Yokas, give me the sports page.
Yokas: I like to be the first one to read it. I don’t like it when it gets all crumbly.

Sully: I dig poetry.
Davis: You just said you dig poetry?

{about Sully and Davis}
Bobby: There goes Salt n’ Peppa.
Sully: Word up.

Bosco: There’s a time and a place for everything. My dad used to say that.
Yokas: Oh his dad used to say that. His dad the sensitive student of human nature. The dad: "I had a girl and she was mine" dad?

Doc: She was 21. It was her first day as a real grownup. See her life rolled out in front of her, nice and pretty like that dress you’re talking about. And all of a sudden it’s like somebody hands her a message: "life’s not gonna go the way you figured." You were crying because she had to learn that so young.
Kim: Ohio. Yeah, Ohio. That’s where she was from.

{to the secret service guys}
Bosco: By the way, rough break on that Dallas thing.

Kim: 25.
Doc: 25 what?
Kim: That’s how old I was when I found out life doesn’t…always turn out the way it’s supposed to. When I found out Jimmy was sleeping with my sister. I kind of got the message right there. Seems like I have to keep getting it over and over again.
Doc: It wasn’t until Deborah died that I really knew.
Kim: We don’t get to like, what, write our own story?

Doc: She died and I never had a chance to take it back. You know, it’s funny. It’s like--- It’s like having to leave a movie before the ending. The film just breaks. I wanted to see how the damn thing was gonna come out.

Bosco: Death penalty? My dad used to call it "takin’ out the trash."
Yokas: Oh God, dad again.

Yokas: Look, what happened in the street, that’s human. I mean, that’s angry and that’s ugly, but that’s human. The death penalty, no. That’s us pretending that we’re God.

Davis: I’m not afraid of much, but I’ll tell you something. I’m afraid of a mob. If I had to choose I’d take you 12 cooled down dressed up people any day of the week.

Carlos: This one nun, she was all right, she used to say "Carlos, you think you’re an orphan, you’re not. You’ve got a father. God’s your father and he’s looking after you." And then, you know, I’d say "well, he’s not doing a very good job."

Doc: Believe it or don’t believe it. It’s up to you. But you ought to ask yourself, when you die and you meet God---
Carlos: What will I say to him? I’ll say "how dare you."

Carlos: If there was an election, for God, I would not vote for the one we got now. No, not until he rode with us the bus just one day.
Kim: Don’t sit too close Bobby. Ground might open up.
Bobby: Yeah, or lightening.
Kim: At least then we’d know there’s something out there.
Carlos: Doc, we ride together. How can you believe in God after seeing what we see?
Doc: I think you’ve got it all wrong. I mean, the question is, "how can you believe in man?"

Bosco and Davis: {singing} …and on her ass, I’d hang a sign. "Keep off this ass. This ass is mine."
Yokas: That’s nice fellas. If we were outside I could throw myself in front of a sanitation truck.

Bobby: Whenever I see somebody working on their checkbook on what the city pays us, I always wanna reach for my med. bag and get a stretcher ready.

Bosco: Only two things I watch. Sports and animals.
Yokas: Animals?
Bosco: Yeah. Shark shows, elephant babies, lions, tigers, bears.
Yokas: Oh my.
Bosco: What?
Yokas: Nothin’.
Bosco: You don’t watch those shows? Best shows on the box.
Yokas: I guess I must be missing out.
Bosco: You are. A lioness with her cubs in the tall grass. No human beings around for miles.
Davis: Except for the 18 guys in the camera truck?
Bosco: You gotta ruin it for me, right?
Davis: Keep going, keep going.
Bosco: No, no, no. Forget it.
Davis: Bosco, tell your damn story.
Bosco: It’s fantastic!

{talking about animals}
Bosco: She’s be a great cop, moving in on the skels.
Yokas: And then she has to call for backup?

{still talking about the animals}
Yokas: It’s okay Bosco. I mean, think of all the ones that got away.

Yokas: Maybe that’s why you’re a cop. Even things out a little.
Bosco: Is that what we do?
Yokas: That’s what a good cop does. A cop like you.

{to Jimmy}
Kim: You never made me feel like I was somebody you had to marry. You always made me feel like a bride.
