S.W.A.T. Leader : All right. We have ground entrances and exits here, here and here. There's a second story fire escape on the north end. Sharpshooter Team One will be posted at 2401. Team Two, 2403, Team Three, 2400, Team Four, 2402. Tracy, you and your unit will handle the tear gas grenades. Coordinates will be alerted when we give our first warning with the horn.
Detective James Crockett : Whoa. Wait a second. Do you have any idea what you're dealin' with here?
S.W.A.T. Leader : Yeah, terrorists.
Detective James Crockett : You start in with that bullhorn routine, and Lamont's a dead man.
S.W.A.T. Leader : None of my men are risking their hides for some lowlife. Unless you've a better idea in mind, I'd like to move on now.
Detective James Crockett : Yeah, well, he's my lowlife, pal, and we put him into this spot, and I don't want him dead.
Detective Ricardo Tubbs : The man's sayin', we got somethin' else in mind.

Detective Ricardo Tubbs : [handing him a large box] I brought you a present.
Nugart Neville 'Noogie' Lamont : You know, you guys are somethin' else, you know that? You try to get me bumped by three crazed Jamaicans, and you buy me a box of candy and you think everything's cool? Let me see what kind of candy this is.
Nugart Neville 'Noogie' Lamont : [opens the box] Turtles? I HATE turtles, man! You know what I'm sayin'?
