• [first lines] 

  Casey Jones : This is the 22nd Precinct. Some people call it "The Jungle Patrol." In this place where rowboat rides lead to safe harbors, the only crime committed should be a stolen kiss. There were no kisses in the park that night - unless you want to count the kiss of death.

• Casey Jones : Six bullets. There were six slugs in him. A cop can make a mistake, but nobody's going to pin a medal on him when it happens.

• Casey Jones : She must have really hated him to empty the gun into him.

  Lt. Tim Doyle : What do you have on your mind?

  Casey Jones : Well, it always sets me to wondering when a woman kills a man.

  Lt. Tim Doyle : That's so different from a man killing a woman?

  Casey Jones : Yeah, I think it is...

• Lt. Tim Doyle : You better go on over to the victim's mother... give her these personal belongings. We have no use for 'em.

  Casey Jones : I wonder what use his mother will have for 'em. Ken Morgan, address... the morgue.

• Susan Connor : I don't know why I'm chattering on like this. I guess if I didn't talk, I'd cry and I don't want to cry. I don't believe tears are a measure of grief.

  Casey Jones : Well, sometimes tears makes grief easier to bear.

• Casey Jones : She'll need somebody when she wakes up. That's a terrible moment that first waking moment when you realize that the one person you lived for is gone.

• Susan Connor : Is that what love does to a woman - degrades her?

  Casey Jones : No, I don't think it degrades her. I think that without someone to love, you're really only half alive.
