Quotes 

• [after the staff reads Dan's death threat, a bum walks into Harry's office, reaching into his coat] 

  Tony Giuliano : I'm looking for Fielding...

  Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : IT'S HIM, HE'S GOT A GUN!

  [He dives behind Harry's couch while Christine sprays the bum in the eyes] 

  Christine Sullivan : Eat mace, bozo!

  Tony Giuliano : Ah, geez, lady, I'm a cop!

  [shows his badge] 

  Judge Harold T. "Harry" Stone : You must be Detective Giuliano. I'm Judge Stone, the lump behind the couch is Dan Fielding. Of course you already met the lovely Christine Sullivan.

  Tony Giuliano : [still blinking off the mace]  Charmed.

  Christine Sullivan : Well, what was I supposed to think? You have... doggie doo on your shoes.

  Tony Giuliano : I'm undercover, I put it there!

• Christine Sullivan : [Dan disguised as a nun walks past Christine]  Sister?

  [Dan crouches to the floor] 

  Christine Sullivan : Sister please, I have a confession to make of a personal nature.

  Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : [Speaks in a high-pitched voice]  Oh, well, why don't we come sit down over here, my child.

  [They sit on a bench seat] 

  Christine Sullivan : Thank you, sister. Oh, I'm ashamed to say that I have just had an impulsive carnal liaison with a man.

  Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : Whoo! Yes, well, my child, tell me, all about it.

  Christine Sullivan : Well, the worst part is I was weak when a friend's life was in danger.

  Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : Yes, tut-tut, now, about this liaison, um, I need details for true forgiveness.

  Christine Sullivan : I don't know where to start.

  Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : Were you naked?

  Christine Sullivan : No! No. We just kissed.

  Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : Oh, I see, my child. Did he stick his tongue down your throat?

  Christine Sullivan : [Perplexed at the question, looks toward Dan]  What?

  Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : [Christine continues looking]  Did he make balloon animals out of your panties?

  Christine Sullivan : [Pulls back one side of the black veil]  Dan! Dan Fielding, you big pervert!

  [starts whaling on Dan and walks away] 

• Tony Giuliano : [reading Dan's death threat]  "Dear Dan... die, Pigface." Yep, sounds like our boy all right. Ex-con by the name of Norman Snite.

  Judge Harold T. "Harry" Stone : Norman Snite? No wonder he calls himself the Prince of Death.

  Tony Giuliano : Yeah, he came through your courtroom about three months ago.

  [Harry, Christine, and Dan shrug blankly] 

  Tony Giuliano : Attempted murder?

  [Another blank shrug] 

  Tony Giuliano : Enormous buck-teeth?

  Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding , Christine Sullivan , Judge Harold T. "Harry" Stone : Oh, *that* Norman Snite!

  Tony Giuliano : Yeah, well, it seems he's very sensitive about those teeth.

  [to Dan] 

  Tony Giuliano : Is it possible you might have made some comment that could be construed as inconsiderate or insensitive?

  Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : [fakes a laugh]  Well, I don't know, *maybe* I said something he misinterpreted...

  Judge Harold T. "Harry" Stone : Such as, "Snite, you're lucky you haven't been shot for the ivory"?

  Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : And Mr. Thin Skin takes it the wrong way!

  Christine Sullivan : Well, what did you expect? All his life, people have been focusing only on his physical appearance, afraid to see the true person that hides inside.

  Tony Giuliano : Let me guess: you sleep with stuffed animals, right?

  Christine Sullivan : [shifts]  I don't see what that has to do with anything.

• [after Tony explains why being a cop is so important to him] 

  Christine Sullivan : ...Do you always put this much feeling into everything you do?

  Tony Giuliano : [chuckles]  Hey, I'm Italian.

  [grows serious] 

  Tony Giuliano : Besides... what's life without passion?

  Christine Sullivan : [whispers]  Nothing.

  [They grab each other and kiss passionately]
