Quotes
-
Bernard : So I get paid?
Detective Thomas 'Herc' Hauk : Yeah, you get paid, but you *don't* get paid, *we* get paid.
Bernard : Why don't they give you the money and leave me out of it?
Detective Thomas 'Herc' Hauk : 'Cause we need someone to be confidential informant #238, registered with the department. See, we get you registered, we get paid.
Bernard : So you're gonna snap my picture...
Sergeant Ellis Carver : And your Social Security number.
Bernard : And they give me money, which you guys keep, and I don't get nothin'.
Detective Thomas 'Herc' Hauk : Hey, cuz, did you do anything to deserve the money? Huh?
Bernard : Did you?
Detective Thomas 'Herc' Hauk : Yeah, we cracked the fuckin' case wide open. We brought back very significant information about a major drug trafficker. That's what *we* did.
Bernard : But that's your fuckin' job, right? You get paid a salary for that.
[Carver looks annoyed]
Detective Thomas 'Herc' Hauk : Bernard, you're upsetting my partner, man. What are you doin'?
Bernard : Ten percent.
[Carver looks at him incredulously]
Bernard : Ten percent goes to me, and I don't tell.
Detective Thomas 'Herc' Hauk : You don't tell because your ma and my ma are sisters. That's why you don't tell, Bernard.
Sergeant Ellis Carver : We're not even gonna use your real name. You're gonna be registered as Fuzzy Dunlop, a street name.
Bernard : Fuzzy Dunlop.
Detective Thomas 'Herc' Hauk : Yeah. Right.
Bernard : Ten percent.
[Herc and Carver look at each other]
Sergeant Ellis Carver : [annoyed] Wonderful, now I'm in business with the whole fuckin' family.
