Quotes 

• Lt. K.C. Trench : [Harry goes to get in the car with Trench and Roberts]  Oh, no, Orwell. Carrying a passenger is strictly against the rules.

  Harry Orwell : I didn't know you played by the rules.

  Lt. K.C. Trench : You are a civilian, Orwell. Possibly a model civilian, but still a civilian. And if anything goes wrong it's me they hang out to dry. Go back to your beach, Orwell. Pout in familiar surroundings.

  Harry Orwell : [voiceover]  Once when I was a little kid I built a castle out of some old soda pop bottles. Freddy was a mean kid who lived up the block. He came by and he knocked over my castle. Lt. Trench reminds me of Freddy.

  Harry Orwell : Only in the sunshine.

• Harry Orwell : [voiceover]  I was in the right ballpark for any kind of action anybody might want to look for: bookmakers, drugs, hookers, turning guys on, fancy places called massage parlors. For me, this action all comes under one heading. I call 'em street games.

• Lt. K.C. Trench : Let the little fish go and sometimes you get the whole school.

  Harry Orwell : Even the principal.

• Lt. K.C. Trench : I have my units checking out the whole area. What I want to know, Orwell, is how you lost her?
