Quotes

• Danny: Hey, Dutch, you think we can find time to study?

Dutch: What?

Danny: For the sergeant's exam. I feel like I'm, you know, kind of falling behind.

Dutch: Sure. Why don't we do that right now? I'll just drop my pissant serial killer thing to help you study. Because what you want always comes first, doesn't it, Danny? It comes before me, comes before everybody else here! Even comes before a dead 13-year-old girl we're all supposed to just forget about come tomorrow! So grab your books. Let's find a nice, quiet spot! We'll study for that test right now!
