- [discussing the wife of a murdered police officer]
- Gus Honochek: Mary Schaab's taking it pretty good.
- Matt Gower: By that you mean she's only crying now and then instead of five or six hours at stretch?
- [discussing their interrogation of Theresa Gomez]
- Sgt. Danny Keller: I always thought a police officer had a certain amount of humanity, Commissioner.
- Matt Gower: Well, that's the question. What's the line between humanity and involvement when you can't see straight?
- Matt Gower: That's the line to watch. My feeling is you crossed it.
- [last lines]
- Matt Gower: You made the mistake of not judging a human being for what he is. Is he a decent person or the reverse? All you knew is he came from Blenheim Street and he had some kind of claim on you.
- Gus Honochek: A claim he could work for his own advantage and did. Loyalty - you look at it hard and it's not so simple.
- Matt Gower: You were a good nurse, I understand.
- Teresa Gomez: I try to be... until this.
- Matt Gower: Well, you caught him for us. We'll see what we can make of that when the time comes. Think we ought to do that, Keller?
- Sgt. Danny Keller: Well, if I express an opinion, will you think I'm too... involved?
- Matt Gower: Well, he's learning, Gus... Maybe too fast. All right, come on.
