Jack Warden: Matt Gower

Quotes 

• [discussing Lou Gordon's case] 

  Capt. Gus Nonochek : Lou Gordon has pulled himself up a long hill and this business is knocking him right back down again. Now I happen to believe he's innocent. I owe to him to protect him if I can.

  Matt Gower : You can't protect him!

  Capt. Gus Nonochek : Well, if I can prove out his story early enough... I'll work on it on my own time.

  Matt Gower : Look, a police officer's time is never his own. He's on duty 24 hours a day!

  Capt. Gus Nonochek : Well, then I'll have to find a 30-hour day, Matt.

• [last lines] 

  Capt. Gus Nonochek : Matt, if it happened again to someone else, a friend, and I believed him...

  Matt Gower : I know - you'd do it again. Come on, let's get out of here.
