- Insp. Joe Dominguez: Hey, Bettina, I haven't seen you since you got fired from the S.I.U.; heard you moved to Vegas.
- Rick Bettina: I didn't get fired, I was downsized.
- Insp. Joe Dominguez: Can't we go anywhere without chicks hitting on you?
- [after a girl gives Nash her number]
- Insp. Nash Bridges: Chicks don't hit on me.
- Insp. Joe Dominguez: Please, have you had an eye exam lately?
- Insp. Nash Bridges: Stop it.
- Insp. Joe Dominguez: I'd like to be able to flirt every once in a while.
- Insp. Nash Bridges: Well, then, do it. There's no harm in it; you're married, not dead.
- Insp. Joe Dominguez: Are you kidding, man? I'm branded. That is chick repellant right there.
- [holding out his hand and showing off his wedding ring]
- Rick Bettina: You know, Nash, I used to be a fearedand respected cop in this town, remember?
- Insp. Joe Dominguez: I don't know about the respected part, but I was sure afraid every time I went out with you.
- [laughing]
- Insp. Nash Bridges: Bubba, I am only going to say this five or six hundred more times: tell her the truth.
- [refering to Ingrid]
- Insp. Joe Dominguez: I can't tell her the truth.
- Insp. Nash Bridges: Why not?
- Insp. Joe Dominguez: Because I want to stay married, that's why.
- Insp. Nash Bridges: You know what's amazing? Not only do you come up with these schemes, you actually follow through with them.
