Quotes

Jeff Berrier : Hey, Lieutenant Mike!
Mike Tao : Hey-hey, Jeff. Welcome to the real L.A.P.D.
Jeff Berrier : Ah, thank you so much. Thank you. Yeah, Beckin's described this place to me so well, I could probably move around with my eyes closed. Uh, oh, I got my camera here. Is it okay if I just take a few photographs?
Captain Sharon Raydor : Yeah, if you let me review them before you leave. Right, Beckin?
Rusty Beck : Oh, oh, that's my nickname at work.
Jeff Berrier : Well, it's... it's "Beck and call" because he's there when we need him, he's got a great work ethic, he, uh, he-he never complains, he's always upbeat. Just positive, positive, positive. We love it.

Andy Flynn : [sees "Application for Retirement" form on his desk] What is this? Some kind of a joke?
Louie Provenza : Heh, you... you didn't print up a retirement application?
Mike Tao : Oh, that's mine. Forgot all about it, and it's not about retiring. It's about the deferred pension program. My business manager wants to check it out.
[chuckles]
Julio Sanchez : Deferred pension?
Buzz Watson : What is that?
Mike Tao : Well, ideally, you put away more money from your paycheck, so you can save it tax-free until you retire.
Amy Sykes : What... what, you have a business manager?
Mike Tao : Well, he deals mainly with my consulting fees from "Badge of Justice".
Andy Flynn : Oh, my God, how much do you make on the show anyway?
Mike Tao : Well, my business manager said I shouldn't talk about it.
Louie Provenza : Wait, wait, wait, so you're not thinking about calling it quits?
Andy Flynn : Of course I think about it. Every day. But the truth is... I've given up so much of my life for this job, including a decent relationship with my children and most of my faith in the human race, that there's... no place else on earth that I fit in.
Louie Provenza : Now, that's the right attitude.
