Brian Gamble: That woman is alive because of what we did.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Yeah, alive and sueing the city for millions. The Chief said that this preceinct is gonna pay for this one, too and it sure as hell it isn’t gonna be me.

Brian Gamble: C’mon Fuller we get…

Capt. Thomas Fuller: [Interrupting] Captain Fuller.

Brian Gamble: C’mon Captain fuller, we get 3 seconds to make a decision, and you get 3 months to go and tear it apart.

Velasquez: SWAT means special weapons *and* tatics. Where were your tatics out there?

Street: Saving that woman from being shot, that’s where are tactics were.

Brian Gamble: Yeah, every cop in this department knows that we did the right thing.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Sometimes, doing the right thing isn’t doing the right thing.

Sgt. Howard: What the hell does that mean.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Sargent.

[to Street and Gamble]

Capt. Thomas Fuller: You disobeyed a direct order, end of story, you’re both off SWAT.

Velasquez: Captain. They’re 2 of our best officers.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: No, I’m not about to stick them back into the field after a stunt like that.

Brian Gamble: [Becoming angry] Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t know that saving lives was goddamn stunt.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Hey, you gotta big mouth, and apparently you’re quick on the trigger, and *that* is why you’re ass is in a sling.

Velasquez: Captain Fuller, if you’re really gonna pull them off SWAT at least keep them in the division. Give’em a shot at getting back.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: [pause] Fine, stick’em in the gun cage, get’em out of my sight.

Brian Gamble: [Mumbling under his breath to Street] This is total bullshit.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: What?

Brian Gamble: [Raising his voice to Fuller] I said this is bullshit.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Really.

Brian Gamble: Yeah, really.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: You should consider yourself lucky Lieutenant Velazquez is standing up for you.

Brian Gamble: [Looks back at Velazquez and walks towards Fuller] No. I’m lucky I don’t have to work for an asshole like you.

[Shoves a few things off of Fuller's desk and pushes him back]

Capt. Thomas Fuller: [shouting over Gamble] That’s it, you’re outta here, Gamble, you’re gone, Gamble, you’re gone!

[Gamble is pushed out of the office]
