Tequila Sunrise

Jo Ann:
What is it? You need some chap stick or lip gloss or something? Because your lips keep getting stuck on your teeth. Or is that your idea of a smile?

Carlos:
Don't worry, buddy. I won't kill her unless you approve.

McKussic:
And if I don't approve?

Carlos:
Then we'll talk until you do...

Dale McKussic:
Nobody wants me to quit. You know, don't quit. Don't get caught. Stay on top long enough for us to knock you off. I mean, that's the motto around here. Nobody wants me to quit. The cops want to bust me. The Colombians want my connections. My wife, she wants my money. Her lawyer agrees and mine likes getting paid to argue with him. Nobody wants me to quit. I haven't even mentioned my customers here. You know they don't want me to quit.

Jo Ann:
That is completely paranoid.

Dale McKussic:
Hey, I'm just talking here. I'm not trying to convince you of a goddamn thing. And I may be paranoid, but then again nobody wants me to quit.

Jo Ann:
I'm sorry. I was just joking. I didn't mean to hurt you.

Dale McKussic:
Aw, come on. It didn't hurt that bad. Just looking at you hurts more.

Carlos:
By the way, you f*** like a world champion. Four f***ing hours! I got hungry just watching you.

Nick Frescia:
Let's not talk about my business, or his business or your business.

Jo Ann:
That leaves us nothing to talk about.

Nick Frescia:
Let's eat.

Nick Frescia:
Generally I recommend my men stay away from vodka, and stick with scotch and bourbon.

Jo Ann:
Why is that?

Nick Frescia:
So the brass will know they're drunk and not stupid.

Jo Ann:
So you thought Andy Leonard would give you respectability.

Dale McKussic:
Yes, ma'am.

Jo Ann:
Well what do you need it for?

Dale McKussic:
... You.

Escalante:
You go to a good deal of trouble to explain an inconsequential event, Lieutenant.

Nick Frescia:
What?

Maguire:
A gun. What can I say? He's Mexican.

Nick Frescia:
You don't lose sight of the facts. Not unless you're nuts. You just... You lose sight of your feelings. Mac knows how he feels: he's crazy about you and he doesn't want to get caught. For a crook it's crystal clear. On the other hand for a cop it's confusing. Mac's my friend and I like him. Maguire's my associate and I hate him. I probably have to bust my friend if I'm going to do my job. But I *hate* drug dealers and somebody's got to get rid of Carlos. How do I do that?

Nick Frescia:
You mean "arrested" don't you, Hal?

Carlos:
No, No, No! Under the circumstances she would have said anything...she would have f*cked a snake!

Carlos:
Friendship is the only choice in life you can make that's yours!
