Dan Stark: I'm saying that being a cop is a team sport. It's you and me. You know, in the old days, we used to catch a bad guy, we'd call all our buddies, we'd let him go and we'd catch him again. Just so we could bust him together.

Jack Bailey: Are you serious?

Dan Stark: Yeah. We called it Catch, Release and Catch Again. Look, you gotta understand the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Bad guys are just a bunch of guys running around with guns. Good guys are a team of guys running around with guns. You learn that, maybe you won't spend the rest of your career working Property Crimes with Dan Stark.

Dan Stark: The only place a woman should punch a man is in the face.

Dan Stark: Gentlemen [pause] Whatever hell on Earth we find on the other side of that door, let's remember one thing, PROTECT THE GRAY TRANS AM. [pause] . You think I'm kiddin'? Then let's roll.

Julius: Man, I've been in this stinking ass trunk I don't know how long. I'm listening to some scary-sounding and English car thieves and I'm thinking, great, I'm about to get killed, and it's not even an American that's gonna kill me.

Dan Stark: What kind of English? Keith Richards English or Elton John English?

Julius: You know what? I didn't stick around long enough to have tea.

Dan Stark: Okay, you got to cover me.

Jack Bailey: I don't have my gun.

Dan Stark: You don't have your gun?

Jack Bailey: It's in the car.

Dan Stark: You left your gun in the car? What, do they teach you that at the academy?

Jack Bailey: Well, where's your gun?

Dan Stark: [pause] It's in the car.

Dan Stark: Your ex-girlfriend is setting you up with her friend? I can see where this is going?

Jack Bailey: Oh, yeah? Where's that exactly?

Dan Stark: Straight to the hot tub. You, Liz and her friend.

Jack Bailey: Yeah, I don't think that's ever going to happen.

Dan Stark: Well, don't be so sure about that. I ever tell you about the time that me and Frank saved a bunch of NBA cheerleaders from a burning car?

Jack Bailey: Yes, and you diagrammed it for me on a bar napkin, twice. Listen, can we just do some work?

Dan Stark: Yeah, what do we got?

Jack Bailey: Code 14B, East Dallas. Burglary of a coin-operated device. We're literally going after a candy burglar.

Dan Stark: It's the broken-door theory. They were talking about it on this cop show I was watching. The one with the, uh, the leprechaun who never takes his sunglasses off.

Jack Bailey: No, I think you mean the broken-window theory.

Dan Stark: No, no, no, no. The idea is, is that you got to stop the small crimes before they become the big crimes. That's why it's called the broken-door theory, because it's a doorway to them. What we do here, it's, it's important.

Jack Bailey: No, it is the broken-window theory, right? Nowhere in that theory does it state that two detectives should run around investigating victimless crimes.

Dan Stark: There's always a victim. You just got to look behind the broken door.

Dan Stark: Next name has a local address. You know who stays in a hotel in the same city they live? Killers. Psychos with body parts in their suitcases.

Jack Bailey: I don't think we're gonna find body parts, Dan.

Dan Stark: Not if they we're dissolved by acid.

Dan Stark: Next name has a local address. You know who stays in a hotel in the same city they live? Killers. Psychos with body parts in their suitcases.

Jack Bailey: I don't think we're gonna find body parts, Dan.

Dan Stark: Not if they were dissolved by acid.

Dan Stark: Police! Drop it! I will blow your brains out the front of your face! Don't think I won't!

Gemini: That's a toy.

Dan Stark: It's not a toy! It's an orange gun!

Jack Bailey: [about Dr. LaViolette] A bit eccentric, but highly respected.

Dan Stark: Yeah, in the circus community I'm sure he's a god.

Dan Stark: I read your book. It's boring and repetitive.

Jack Bailey: And repetitive.

Jack Bailey: CDs have no depth. I mean, all the vocals have been compressed, the high end is gone...

Jack Bailey: I can't get the case open.

Jack Bailey: [Jack reveals he knows what plan "Everest" is] Dan, for better or worse, some of this stuff actually seeps in.

[repeated line]

Jack Bailey: You *tased* me, Dan!

Dan Stark: That guy's not a metal worker, he's a ninja. A ninja named Tommy.

Lt. Ana Ruiz: That's great. I've got two Dan Starks. Both of you get out of my office, you're getting my chairs wet.

Dan Stark: They were wet when we got here!

Dan Stark: You bribey bastard.

Perry Black: Bribey?

Jack Bailey: Yeah, he adds y's to the end of words. Don't let it throw you.

Jack Bailey: [trying to convince Meredith he and Dan are cops] Dan, find my badge.

Dan Stark: What's it look like?

Dan Stark: [to Julius, trying to get him to ID a dine-and-dash perp] He's a scumbag, you're a former scumbag.

Dan Stark: [after meeting Jack's former police academy partner] Yeah, I can see why you hate that guy.

Jack Bailey: [to Dan] Now, you do realize that you broke a $300 window to stop a crime worth $6.52, plus tip?

Jack: What the hell was that?

Dan: Never heard of Good Cop, Sick Cop? You're the Good Cop.

Javier Escalante: Who's the chihuahua now? Huh? Who's the chihuahua now?

Dan Stark: Let's go bust some punks.

Dan Stark: A sandwich without meat isn't a sandwich; it's just lonely bread.

Dan Stark: No offense, Doc, but the only time a man should go to the hospital is when he's been shot, and I'm not talking about the leg or the shoulder or something you can fix with duct tape. I'm just tired.

Dan Stark: Any groping you may be experiencing is unintentional. However, you do retain the right to enjoy it.

Dan Stark: [diamond dealer has mistaken them for a gay couple] Jacko, for the record, if I were a lover of men, and you were my man-lover, I would never buy you a diamond in this store.

Jack Bailey: Thanks, Dan. That's sweet.

Dan Stark: You look like you could use some Foghat.

Jack Bailey: No, thank you.

Dan Stark: Come on, kid, you still got your stones. Let's go bust some punks.

Dan Stark: Jacko, come on! We gotta catch these punks.

Jack Bailey: No. No. I'm not leaving Liz.

A.D.A. Liz Traynor: Jack go. It's fine. I'm fine.

Jack Bailey: I'm not leaving you.

A.D.A. Liz Traynor: Now is the time to put work before our relationship. [kisses Jack] Now go bust me some punks, baby.

A.D.A. Liz Traynor: Do you remember when you tried to kiss me on our second date here?

Jack Bailey: No, no. I did not.

A.D.A. Liz Traynor: Yes.

Jack Bailey: I tried to lick your face. But it was only because you had chocolate on it.

A.D.A. Liz Traynor: Close enough.

Dan Stark: Dallas Police Department! I am commando-ing this vehicle!

Lt. Ana Ruiz: Is he with you? Put Stark on the phone. Now.

Jack Bailey: I have no idea where Dan is. What's going on?

Lt. Ana Ruiz: Oh, nothing big. Just fifty thousand dollars is missing from the Narcotics division.

Jack Bailey: Fifty thousand dollars? Uh, okay. Well, this may sound like a stupid question, but are you sure it's Dan?

Lt. Ana Ruiz: Well, whoever took the money left an IOU written on a *bar napkin*!

Jack Bailey: [deadpan] Yeah, that sounds like Dan.

Dan Stark: [after being pepper-sprayed] Ahhh! Spicy! Spicy in my eyes!

Dan Stark: Julius Grant! Dallas Police Department! We got the place surrounded! I am on vacation! I got a cooler full of beers in the car! Looking for a little quality snitch-detective time.

Jack Bailey: What do you say next time Ruiz puts us on vacation, we just head down to Miami.

Dan Stark: So, you're saying there will be a next time. Nice!
