Sergio Di Zio: Constable Michelangelo 'Spike' Scarlatti

Quotes 

• Mike Scarlatti : [looking at a bomb]  This doesn't make any sense.

  Ed Lane : What?

  Mike Scarlatti : The bomb. It's good to go, set up really smart, it's a solid piece of work. But it's lame.

  Ed Lane : What do you mean?

  Mike Scarlatti : I mean, it's just propane, the kind of explosion you're going to get from this is a big flash a big boom, but a flash isn't going to take out a wall. You need something with actual force and this just it doesn't have it.

  Ed Lane : Spike those guys looked like they were good to go.

  Mike Scarlatti : No everything about this looks good to go, but to go nowhere, unless...

  Ed Lane : Unless the big boom was the whole point.

  Mike Scarlatti : Distraction?

• Sgt. Gregory Parker : Okay, we've got multiple hostages and seventy-five to a hundred inmates involved.

  Ed Lane : We're looking for knives shivs, shanks, improvised mases. Everything is a weapon so we're strictly less lethal. Gas, rubber bullets, tasers.

  Leah Kerns : A prison riot and we're less lethal?

  Ed Lane : Yes.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : No firearms in the prison. You think it's bad now, throw a loaded gun into the mix.

  Sam Braddock : And us up against a hundred cons with shanks and shivs isn't?

  Jules Callaghan : What, you ever get hit by a rubber bullet? Take anybody down.

  Mike Scarlatti : That's good 'cause it's not like we're running into a place with a dozen guys we put away or anything.
