Denis Arndt: Sgt. Howard

Quotes 

• Capt. Thomas Fuller : Sometimes doing the right thing isn't doing the right thing.

  Sgt. Howard : What the hell is that supposed mean?

• Brian Gamble : [getting chewed out by Fuller for his stunt at the bank]  That woman is alive because of what we did!

  Capt. Thomas Fuller : Yeah, alive and suing the city for millions. The Chief said if he's gonna pay, somebody else does, too, and it sure as hell isn't gonna be me.

  Brian Gamble : C'mon Fuller we get...

  Capt. Thomas Fuller : [Interrupting]  *Captain* Fuller.

  Brian Gamble : Captain Fuller, we get two seconds to make a decision! You get two months to sit there and tear it apart!

  Velasquez : SWAT means "Special Weapons *And* Tactics". Where were your tactics out there?

  Street : Saving a woman from getting shot. That's where are tactics were.

  Brian Gamble : Yeah, every cop in this department knows that we did the right thing.

  Capt. Thomas Fuller : Sometimes, doing the right thing isn't doing the right thing.

  Sgt. Howard : What the hell does that mean?

  Capt. Thomas Fuller : Sergeant?

  [Fuller turns to Street and Gamble] 

  Capt. Thomas Fuller : You disobeyed a direct order, end of story. You're both off SWAT.

  Velasquez : Captain. They're two of our best officers.

  Capt. Thomas Fuller : Well I'm not sticking them back in the field after a stunt like that.

  Brian Gamble : [Becoming angry]  Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that saving lives was goddamn stunt!

  Capt. Thomas Fuller : [Angry]  Hey, you've got a big mouth, and apparently you're quick on the trigger, and *that* is why your ass is in a sling!

  Velasquez : Captain Fuller, if you're really gonna put them off SWAT at least keep them in the division. Give'em a shot at getting back.

  Capt. Thomas Fuller : [pause]  Fine, stick'em in the gun cage. Get'em out of my sight.
