Sam Braddock : You want to see two guys get blown up by giving Spike a chance?
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Okay.
[turns on radio]
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Spike, Spike, maybe we should slow this thing down.
Mike Scarlatti : No, no, boss. There's no time.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Spike... Spike...
Mike Scarlatti : I'm coming back to the truck, okay? We're going to need something flat, like... like a shield. Somebody grab a shield.
Ed Lane : We can't let him go back out there.
Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : He's made up his mind.
Jules Callaghan : He's emotional. He's panicking. He is not thinking straight.
Ed Lane : And you are?
Jules Callaghan : I'm just... I'm saying he can't make that decision. We cannot let him.

Sam Braddock : [arguing over whether or not to let Spike try and save Lewis] Lou's leg is shaking, his muscles are going to spasm, and when that happens...
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Sam.
Sam Braddock : You gotta make the call.
Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : I'm not gonna be the one to hold him back from saving a friend.
Ed Lane : And I'm not gonna lose 'em both!
Sgt. Gregory Parker : So what are we gonna do, just wait for Lou to get tired?
Ed Lane : What's the option here Greg, you tell me?
-
Mike Scarlatti : Coming out there, Lou.
Lewis Young : No, you can't have two men downrange, Spike.
Mike Scarlatti : [starts walking towards Lewis] Oh, what's our fifth rule, Lou? Fifth rule is break the rules when you have to.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : [to Spike] He's not wrong.
Mike Scarlatti : [to Parker] Job's about what? Yeah. Saving lives.
-
Sgt. Gregory Parker : [Enters command truck] Okay Spike, read me the tea leaves.
Mike Scarlatti : [Looking at x-ray image of bomb] Okay, you see that shadow top left? That's looking like a digital clock so it is set to trigger by timer.
Ed Lane : Lets set up transport and move this bomb off site, we got twenty-one minutes.
Mike Scarlatti : Except you see those two shadows bottom left? Those are mercury switches.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Motion sensitive.
Mike Scarlatti : Motion very sensitive, can't move it. Gonna take human hands not to set it off. I'm going in.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Whoa whoa whoa whoa, Spike... okay, okay.
Mike Scarlatti : Copy that.

Ed Lane : [Over headset as Spike is trying to save Lou from landmine] Spike what do you see?
Sam Braddock : What do we got Spike?
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Spike?
Mike Scarlatti : It's a bounding mine. It's a CR-38.
Lewis Young : I think you should just get outta here Spike.
Mike Scarlatti : Doesn't change a thing man, not a single thing.
Ed Lane : Spike we gotta strategize here.
Mike Scarlatti : Nothin' to strategize, I'm gonna diffuse the landmine and Lou's gonna walk away.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Diffuse it, how?
Mike Scarlatti : I'm gonna excavate around the mine and then I'm gonna render it safe.
Lewis Young : Spike?
Mike Scarlatti : Shut up. I'm gettin' you outta here, we're all goin' home today.

Foreman : [answering his cell phone] Yeah.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : This is Sergeant Greg Parker with the police. We've received a bomb threat targeting your construction site.
Foreman : Speak up. I can't hear you.
[yelling to worker running a saw]
Foreman : Jimmy, kill it!
[to Parker]
Foreman : Yeah, go again?
Sgt. Gregory Parker : This is the police. We've received a bomb threat. You need to evacuate.
Foreman : Come on. I haven't got the time for this. Who's this?
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Sir, this is not a prank! We've received a bomb threat. You need to evacuate now!
-
Sgt. Gregory Parker : [after second bomb threat] Priority one: we profile the subject, locate the target, intercept it in time.
-
Lewis Young : [on radio from first bomb site] Ion scanner's identified the explosive. It's TNT.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Can we trace it?
Mike Scarlatti : Yup. The residue - it has tracer elements embedded into it. The lab can trace it right to the manufacturer, right down to where the shipment was delivered, and from there...
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Okay, you had me at "yup." Let's do it.
-
Young Activist : [to Greg and Jules as they walk in the headquarters of an Enviornmentalist group] Hey, let's see your warrant.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : We don't need a warrant to walk through an open door.
Young Activist : Oh, no warrant? Yeah, then you can turn around and walk right out that open door.
-
Sgt. Gregory Parker : All right, team. Our subject, may he rest in peace, has left us juggling an unidentified accomplice and two scheduled detonations.
-
Ed Lane : [sarcastically] This guy wants to save the world, make a big statement. "Oh, I know. Let's blow up some college students. That'd be good."
Sgt. Gregory Parker : It's not just that. Halliwell College just signed a huge funding deal with the Lyrium Think Tank.
Jules Callaghan : The global-warming deniers.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : The way he saw it, they're brainwashing a new generation of climate killers.
Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : Sarge, Halliwell? Lyrium? Is there anything you don't know?
Sgt. Gregory Parker : It's the burden I bear, Wordy.
Jules Callaghan : That, and it was a feature article in the Star last weekend.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Ouch. Thank you, Constable Callaghan.
-
Lewis Young : [looking down at the bomb as he stands on a land mine] Boss, how much time we got left on this bomb?
Sgt. Gregory Parker : [looking at Lewis through his binoculars] We got, uh, we got... We got time, Lou.
-
Ed Lane : Pretty quiet.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Yeah, great for writing reports.
Ed Lane : I was thinking I'd go down to the range. I got some new ammo for the remmy.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Homework first, then go play.
Ed Lane : How did I know you'd say that?
Sgt. Gregory Parker : 'Cause you know me.
-
Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : We'll take Sam to help handle the bomb sweeps, split the targets with the bomb techs from Team Two and Team Five.
Ed Lane : [to Parker] While you guys shake down the tree-huggers.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Environmental Activists.
Ed Lane : Whatever.
-
John Martens : We staged a lawful, non-violent protest action.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Foreman said that you uttered threats to take it to the next level.
John Martens : I threatened him? Have a look. You tell him "take it to the next level" means unleash the most badass Internet petition in history. We don't do bombs. We start with the carnage, we lose the public. No more donations, our revenue streams dry up. Violence runs counter to our business model.
Jules Callaghan : [leaving the building] Business models and revenue streams?
Sgt. Gregory Parker : The times, they are a-changin'.
