Diel: Well, even if I had an extra man, who would want such a bullshit assignment? Well, it's a disgrace to me. It's a disgrace to my department. It's a disgrace to...Dan, I'm sending someone right over.
Carter: Captain, I know you read the paper, But they lying. You know I wouldn't do nothing like that. They over exaggerate. You know how the paper is. They just want a story.
Diel: 2 officers were shot. One man lost a pinkie.
Carter: But didn't nobody die.
Diel: You destroyed half a city block.
Carter: That block was already messed up.
Diel: And you lost a lot of evidence.
Carter: We still got a little bit left.
Diel: What you did was dangerous and completely against policy. And not only that...you did a good job.
Carter: What?
Diel: Everyone around here is so image-conscious. Everybody's so afraid of their own goddamn shadow. It's nice to meet an L.A. Detective who's willing to lay it on the line.
