Jack Van Meter: Get the hell down from there. While you're grandstanding here the city is starting to burn. Jimmy for Christ sakes.
Det. Sgt. Eldon Perry Jr.: If the city is starting to burn, Jack, it's partly because of guys like you and me. And I may be a goddamm alcoholic but that doesn't mean I can't tell the truth - and I've got all the deep deep dirt right here. Somebody put the cufs on me - let me start talking.
Jack Van Meter: Fuck L.A.
Det. Sgt. Eldon Perry Jr.: That's my daddy's gun... and the only reason this city's here is because they built it with bullets.
Bobby Keough: Well, she's black, Eldon, that's why I don't talk about her.
Det. Sgt. Eldon Perry Jr.: Oh, you be dating a sistah.
Bobby Keough: Yeah.
Det. Sgt. Eldon Perry Jr.: I didn't know you were into ebony and ivory.
Bobby Keough: I do'nt wanna hear a bunch of black jokes, Hey, no I really don't.
Det. Sgt. Eldon Perry Jr.: Hey amigo, you think I care about the size, shape, color or political party of some sweet thing you're rolling around with?
