Chief Jesse Stone: Oh.
Abby Taylor: I hope you don't take this in any negative way, but you may be the simplest person I've ever met. You know what you know, and you do what you do, and you just keep doing it. Like a mule.
Chief Jesse Stone: Or a jackass.
Chief Jesse Stone: Suit. Write me up statement for the local paper about how we have this all under control.
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: Me?
Chief Jesse Stone: Yeah, you're good at that.
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: I am?
Bo Marino: I'm walkin' out of here.
Chief Jesse Stone: No, you're not.

Chief Jesse Stone: Maybe I'm a policeman because I am that way.
Chief Jesse Stone: They seem to have an interest in me, and maybe I can encourage them to develop it.
Captain Healy: So these to people, they have an interest in killing people, and now they seem to have an interest in killing you?
Chief Jesse Stone: Is this a great country or what?

Molly Crane: There's a dog in here.
Chief Jesse Stone: Witness protection.
