Quotations
Jeff, excuse my partner. He's new and he's [Jeff attacks T] kind of stupid.
How about we do the good cop, dumb dog thing, and you just shut up?
Jeff, I am so not in a mood for you! Get back in the subway! Right now!
Yeah, every Saturday night you'd be like, "Flush me J. Flush me." and I'd be like, "Naw."
I never worked in a funeral home. Something I can do for you, Slick?
Get a mop, and escort all civilian personnel from this site immediately.
Silly little planet. I could rule the place with the right set of mammary glands.
An hour ago, a man I've known my whole life vanished in front of my eyes because of a woman with things coming out of her fingers and a two-headed guy with the IQ of a cannoli. So yeah, everything's okay.
