• Sledge Hammer : Doreau, that was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. It was poetry in motion.

  Sledge Hammer : You hear that? I'm off suspension. Looks like they can't keep a good man down.

  [beat] 

  Sledge Hammer : Or me, either.

• Reporter : We're here at the scene of a liquor store robbery that was thwarted by the man beside me, Inspector Sledge Hammer. Inspector Hammer, tell us what happened.

  Sledge Hammer : Well, Miss, I was in this store when two thugs entered and threatened the owner with shotguns. At that time, I drew my Magnum and killed them both. Then I bought some eggs, and some milk, and some of those little cocktail weinies.

  Reporter : Inspector Hammer, was what you did in that store absolutely necessary?

  Sledge Hammer : Oh, yes, I had no groceries at all.

• Captain Trunk : You couldn't resist it, could you, Hammer? You just couldn't resist blowing up a building on your way to work this morning, could you Hammer?
