• Dennis Becker : [Becker's in the break room trying to console Rita, who's crying because she feels Dennis and all the other cops only want her for info, and aren't sincere when they say they're her 'friends']  Rita, you're looking at things the wrong way. I'm your friend.

  [Between sniffles and tears, Rita just shakes her head 'no'] 

  Dennis Becker : McRainey's your friend.

  [More head shaking] 

  Dennis Becker : Rita, you got nothing but friends here.

  [the door opens; it's Lt. Chapman] 

  Lt. Doug Chapman : Becker?

  Dennis Becker : What? Uh, yes, sir.

  Lt. Doug Chapman : [In an authoritative, annoyed voice]  I want you to get down to the squad room. Get Rockford out of there. Get him out of this station. And whatever he came here to ask you, the answer is 'no'. You got that?

  Dennis Becker : Yes, sir.

  Lt. Doug Chapman : Good.

  [Chapman turns to leave, and notices Rita's sniffling] 

  Lt. Doug Chapman : What the hell are you crying about, Rita? You didn't have change for a five?

  [Rita slams the table, Chapman walks out]
