• Coffeeshop Cop #1 : [after Doc playfully insults him]  You can run, but you can't hide, Parker.

  Monte Parker : Hide? I drive a giant red and white van with flashing lights and a siren. What are you, stupid?

• Carlos Nieto : [to Doc]  What happened?

  Monte Parker : I don't wanna talk about it.

  Carlos Nieto : You interferred with an arrest?

  Monte Parker : They threw us on the ground and handcuffed us.

  Carlos Nieto : Why? What did you do?

  Monte Parker : I didn't do anything.

  Carlos Nieto : Prison's full of guys who say that.

• Monte Parker : You know, they had a couple of guys handcuffed against the cars in front of their kids, and I pulled over to tell them that the kids were afraid.

  Carlos Nieto : And you didn't know up front that... that was gonna get your ass slammed? Come on, what world did you grow up in?

  Monte Parker : You know, I know about all that. That's just not the world that I wanna live in.

• Monte Parker : [to Davis when he stops by the firehouse]  What the hell are you doing up here?

  Tyrone Davis : Just came over to see if you were all right.

  Monte Parker : Fine. Is there anything else?

  Tyrone Davis : Well, Doc, you know, it's not too smart to get in the middle of an arrest.

  Monte Parker : Of course that's the way you heard it.

  Tyrone Davis : Well, they were arresting two guys, you stop your car and you get out...

  Monte Parker : And that's illegal now?

  Tyrone Davis : No, it's just not smart.

  Monte Parker : Have you been paying attention to what's going on out there?

  Tyrone Davis : Doc, we're cops. We're coming down on bad guys.

  Monte Parker : You're coming down on black guys.

  Tyrone Davis : There were black people who got shot in that restuarant too, Doc. We're trying to find the people that did that.

  Monte Parker : Oh, well, by all means, let's beat every black guy in New York until there's no more crime. You of all people...

  Tyrone Davis : Don't lecture me.

  [walks off] 

  Monte Parker : Yeah, well, you better leave that uniform on, 'cause that's your "leave this nigger alone" card.

• Kim Zambrano : [to Doc]  Come on, Doc. You're not gonna get all black on us now, are ya?

  Monte Parker : I'm not black?

  Kim Zambrano : Well, not Al Sharpton black.
