• Hunter : Works for me!

• Hunter : Ya need a date?

  Dee Dee : Yeah. You got somebody in mind who doesn't look like a cop?

  Hunter : Uh, wait a minute now. You look more like a cop than I do.

  Dee Dee : Hunter, if you looked any more like a cop, they'd give you a TV series where you got to play one!

• Woman : I was expecting a shabby little man in a raincoat.

  Hunter : You've got the wrong television show.

• Ben : All these years, I wondered who you were, what you were like. I wondered if I was anything like you. I just wanted to know who my father was.

  Hunter : Well, now you know. You should also know that you've had a father for the past 17 years. A good man. A man that's loved you, raised you, given you a good home, worried about you. I think that's a pretty good definition of fatherhood.

• Hunter : Can you imagine what it's like to sit there for two days and answer personal questions about your sex life?

  Dee Dee : Yeah, it's like that every time I go to visit my mother.

• [Flashing his badge] 

  Hunter : I've got 16 years behind that badge, Drasso. And if it wasn't for that, I'd pound your head square. Now, you know where I live and you know when I get off. So if you want a piece of me, come on. If you don't, shove off!

• Dr. Bolin : You truly are a trobuled person.

  Hunter : Well, you should be the expert on mental disorders, being as screwed up as you are!

• Dee Dee : This guy is so intelligent, he's having his mail forwarded.

  Hunter : Oh, I love smart crooks!

• Dee Dee : Did you hear that gunshot?

  Hunter : That wasn't a gunshot. It was a branch that had fallen off of a tree due to the insurmountable weight of the snow that landed upon it.

• Hunter : Captain? Do you know how many officers have been killed because they were too busy firing warning shots?

• Carlos : [Engine reving up]  Hey Hunter. Those aren't the car keys for that car.

  Hunter : Yeah I know but McCall could hotwire a broom handle if she had to. See ya.

  Carlos : Hey wait. Hunter come back here. HUNTER!

• Hunter : I know your father married your mother when you and she had nothing. He brought you to this country, gave you a good home, loved you... and when you got in trouble he called mel.

  Ben : Yeah... yeah... why you? Why not some other cop?

  Hunter : Because he knew I was the only one that would help you.

  Ben : But he told me he never met you before.

  Hunter : He was telling you the truth, Ben. He'd never met me before... but your mother had. I'm your father, Ben.
