[after the staff reads Dan's death threat, a bum walks into Harry's office, reaching into his coat]
Tony Giuliano : I'm looking for Fielding...
Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : IT'S HIM, HE'S GOT A GUN!
[He dives behind Harry's couch while Christine sprays the bum in the eyes]
Christine Sullivan : Eat mace, bozo!
Tony Giuliano : Ah, geez, lady, I'm a cop!
[shows his badge]
Judge Harold T. "Harry" Stone : You must be Detective Giuliano. I'm Judge Stone, the lump behind the couch is Dan Fielding. Of course you already met the lovely Christine Sullivan.
Tony Giuliano : [still blinking off the mace] Charmed.
Christine Sullivan : Well, what was I supposed to think? You have... doggie doo on your shoes.
Tony Giuliano : I'm undercover, I put it there!

Tony Giuliano : [reading Dan's death threat] "Dear Dan... die, Pigface." Yep, sounds like our boy all right. Ex-con by the name of Norman Snite.
Judge Harold T. "Harry" Stone : Norman Snite? No wonder he calls himself the Prince of Death.
Tony Giuliano : Yeah, he came through your courtroom about three months ago.
[Harry, Christine, and Dan shrug blankly]
Tony Giuliano : Attempted murder?
[Another blank shrug]
Tony Giuliano : Enormous buck-teeth?
Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding , Christine Sullivan , Judge Harold T. "Harry" Stone : Oh, *that* Norman Snite!
Tony Giuliano : Yeah, well, it seems he's very sensitive about those teeth.
[to Dan]
Tony Giuliano : Is it possible you might have made some comment that could be construed as inconsiderate or insensitive?
Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : [fakes a laugh] Well, I don't know, *maybe* I said something he misinterpreted...
Judge Harold T. "Harry" Stone : Such as, "Snite, you're lucky you haven't been shot for the ivory"?
Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : And Mr. Thin Skin takes it the wrong way!
Christine Sullivan : Well, what did you expect? All his life, people have been focusing only on his physical appearance, afraid to see the true person that hides inside.
Tony Giuliano : Let me guess: you sleep with stuffed animals, right?
Christine Sullivan : [shifts] I don't see what that has to do with anything.

[after Tony explains why being a cop is so important to him]
Christine Sullivan : ...Do you always put this much feeling into everything you do?
Tony Giuliano : [chuckles] Hey, I'm Italian.
[grows serious]
Tony Giuliano : Besides... what's life without passion?
Christine Sullivan : [whispers] Nothing.
[They grab each other and kiss passionately]
