• Det. Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs : Who gives you the right to judge?

  Jake Manning : Nobody ever gave anything to me Rico. I took. I had to.

• Jake Manning : There's no end to my disappointment in you, Rico. I thought we'd make a great team. Maybe I expected too much, huh? Maybe words are incapable of... conveying what I feel when I do these things.

  Det. Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs : [Horrified]  God help you... you are a... sick...

  Jake Manning : [Shocked]  No no, no no no no!

  Det. Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs : ...twisted man... yeah...

  Jake Manning : No no, listen to me, listen to me!

  Det. Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs : [Screaming]  ... yes, you are sick! *SICK!*
