Quotes

Gabriel Cash : You wanna cut my throat, go ahead. You wanna cut my fuckin' head off and use it for a fuckin' basketball? You can *bowl* with the motherfucker for all I care! Just don't let HIM do it! I don't wanna get killed by this limey, immigrant JERKOFF! I wanna get killed by an AMERICAN jerkoff!
Requin : [English accent] You fucking wanker!
-
Gabriel Cash : I don't know about you, but I have an aversion to getting F.U.B.A.R...
Ray Tango : What's F.U.B.A.R.?
Gabriel Cash : Fucked-Up Beyond All Recognition.
-
[Tango grabs a hefty submachine gun and hands Cash a pistol]
Ray Tango : Here.
Gabriel Cash : Aw, c'mon, how come yours is bigger than mine?
Ray Tango : Genetics, peewee.
-
Ray Tango : When this is over, we have to pay Jabba the Hutt here a visit.
Gabriel Cash : I'll bring the chainsaw.
Ray Tango : I'll bring the beer.
-
Gabriel Cash : Lucky for me this place is soundproof. That way nobody gets to hear me beating the truth out of you.
-
Gabriel Cash : You know, it's a free country, Tango.
Ray Tango : Yeah.
Gabriel Cash : And people are free to do whatever they want.
Ray Tango : So?
Gabriel Cash : Well, your sister is very, very free.
Ray Tango : I'm going to kill you.
-
Gabriel Cash : You're getting a little radical here, don't you think?
Ray Tango : What's radical?
Gabriel Cash : Blowing a man's head off with a fucking hand grenade is a touch much, don't you think?
Ray Tango : You got your way, I got mine. You know, I'm kind of glad you didn't want to talk, Requin...
Gabriel Cash : You know what? I'll just shoot him in the goddamn leg, he'll talk!
Ray Tango : I don't want the leg, I want the whole package!
Gabriel Cash : Maybe he doesn't know anything, okay?
Ray Tango : I don't really care!
-
Assistant Warden Matt Sokowski : What's widdya friend?
Gabriel Cash : He's a little upset. He misses his wardrobe.
[then as they leave the room]
Ray Tango : I DO miss my wardrobe.
-
Interpreter : Detective Cash assaulted me. He put a chair on my chest and sat on it.
Gabriel Cash : [Tango looks at Cash, surprised] I couldn't find a piano.
-
Owen : Your Honor, the defendants wish to change their plea.
[Crowd is stunned. Judge McCormick bangs his gavel]
Judge McCormick : Order! Very well, Counselor. What is the plea?
Ray Tango : Your Honor, may I approach the bench, please?
Judge McCormick : Proceed, Mr. Tango.
Ray Tango : [Gets up, looks at Owen] It's okay.
[Tango approaches the bench]
Ray Tango : Your Honor, I have been a policeman for 12 years, and I think it's the best organization in the country. At times, I've been accused of being too aggressive at taking criminals off the streets. Well, if that's a sin, then I guess I'm guilty. All the cops I've worked with are good cops. They are... doing a tough job. And I only hope that the outcome of this trial is such, that the whole department is not judged by what has transpired here. Thank you.
[Tango returns to his seat]
Judge McCormick : Do you have anything to add, Mr. Cash?
Gabriel Cash : [Nods] Yeah.
Ray Tango : [Grabs Cash's arm] No!
Gabriel Cash : Yeah.
Ray Tango : No-no.
Gabriel Cash : Yeah.
Ray Tango : No.
[Cash gets up]
Gabriel Cash : Mr. Tango has, uh, spoken very eloquently. I wish I could be as forgiving. But I can't, because... this whole thing... fucking sucks! I mean, this is the biggest pile of shit I've ever...
[Crowd applauses]
Judge McCormick : Order! Order!
-
Ray Tango : Do you think he's telling the truth?
Gabriel Cash : I don't know. But it's not raining and he's standing in a puddle.
Ray Tango : Disgusting.
-
Ray Tango : What are you doing? What are you doing?
Gabriel Cash : Relax. Soap. And don't flatter yourself... Peewee.
-
Gabriel Cash : I've got good news and bad news.
Ray Tango : What's the bad news?
Gabriel Cash : We're almost out of gas.
Ray Tango : What's the good news?
Gabriel Cash : We're ALMOST out of gas.

[after Requin breaks down and confesses]
Gabriel Cash : You know, Potato Head, you just fell for the oldest routine in the book: bad cop...
Ray Tango : Worse cop!

Gabriel Cash : When this is over, remind me to rip Jumbo there's tongue out.
Ray Tango : With a tow truck.

Ray Tango : There's a party up on the roof.
Gabriel Cash : Can I invite Mr. Potato Head here?
Ray Tango : Sure! Wouldn't be a party without Potato Head.

Ray Tango : Your Honor, I have been a policeman for 12 years and I think it's the best organization in the country. At times I've been accused of being too aggressive at taking criminals off the street. Well, if that's a sin, I guess I'm guilty. All the cops I've worked with are good cops.

Gabriel Cash : Hold on. Give me a name, Death-Breath, or you're going back to fucking England in a fucking baggie!
Requin : Up yours, arsehole! You ain't worth a toss! Go on, drop me! Do it!
Gabriel Cash : Plan "A" is definitely a loser.
