Memorable Quotes from Gilbert R. Hill
4 quotesConflict over Undercover Operations
Inspector Todd
You mind telling me where the fuck you come off going undercover without authorization from me? What the fuck's this all about? You wanna play some fucking bullshit cowboy cop? Go do it in somebody else's precinct!
Axel Foley
Don't you wanna hear my side of the story?
Inspector Todd
What's your fucking side of the story?
Axel Foley
Let's hear your side of the story.
[pause]
Inspector Todd
Hey Axel, I'm not takin anymore of this shit from you. You know how much this little stunt of yours is gonna cost this city?
Axel Foley
I don't think cost is the issue here, sir. I think the issue should be my blatant disregard for proper procedure.
Inspector Todd
You damn right, wise ass! The mayor called the Chief, the Chief called the Deputy Chief and the Deputy Chief just chewed my ass out! You see I don't have any bit of it left, don't you? Where the fuck did you get a truckload of cigarettes from anyway?
Axel Foley
From the Dearborn Hijacking.
Inspector Todd
From the Dearborn Hijacking? That fucking bust went down last week! That truck's supposed to be in the damn pound!
Jeffery
I tried to tell you.
Inspector Todd
Jeffery, this is none of your fucking business!
Jeffery
This is not my locker!
[Pointing to a random locker]
Inspector Todd
Listen Axel, no more of these set ups, you understand? You're a good cop, and you got great potential, but you don't know every fucking thing. And I'm tired of taking the heat for your ass. One more time and you're out on the street. Do you understand me?
Axel Foley
Look, Boss, let me tell...
Inspector Todd
Do you understand me?!
[emphatically]
Axel Foley
Yeah, I understand. Boss. The Chief ain't chew it all out. You still got a little ass there.
Inspector Todd
Don't fuck with me, Axel! Not now! Go on. Go home.

Disagreement Over Case Assignment and Expertise
Axel Foley
Look, I heard a rumor that you're gonna use Rand on this case, and between the 2 of us, the guy doesn't know the time of day.
Inspector Todd
Don't mess with me now, Axel.
Axel
It's the first time he's left his desk in 12 years.
Todd
At least he's HAD 12 years! Anyway, it's a Homicide case and it belongs to Rand. Now, go to the hospital!
Axel
Well, you don't mind if I ask around a little bit, do you?
Todd
Don't do a DAMN thing; it's Rand's case. Yo ass is SKATING on thin ice as it is!
Axel
Hey, look, we're talkin about a FRIEND OF MINE HERE!
Todd
Yes, we are, aren't we? Now, let's take a close look at that: 1, a hoodlum friend. 2, a professional hit. 3, in a cop's apartment. This whole thing stinks to high Heaven.
Axel
How you know it was a professional hit?
Todd
I didn't just walk into this town from the cotton fields! Whoever killed your friend wasn't worried about yo little narrow ass; if they were, you'd be lyin beside him in that meat wagon! Just don't do a damn thing. Stay outta this!
Axel
Well, look, I got some vacation time comin to me; I wanna take my vacation now.
Todd
... Stay away from this case, Axel.
Axel
No, it's just that I feel I need a little vacation, that's all.
Todd
Alright... as soon as you're finished at the hospital, you're on vacation.
[gives him a hesitant look]
Axel
Thank you.
Todd
But if you decide to butt into this case... it'll be the LONGEST vacation you ever heard of.

Determined Commitment and Skepticism in Law Enforcement
Foley
24 hours a day I will be in the car. I will sleep, eat, drink, shit. I will- No, I ain't gonna shit. You thought I was gonna really shit. I wouldn't- Wh-what would I look like shitting in the car? I ain't gonna shit. Don't worry about a thing, though. I am on the job. Don't worry about a thing. I'm on the job!
[laughs]
Inspector Todd
THAT'S what I'm afraid of!

Unexpected Expenses and Inquiries
Foley
Inspector T, how you doin'?
Inspector Todd
Where the fuck you been, Foley? And what the fuck is this?
Foley
It's a blue slip.
Inspector Todd
Wh-what in the hell do you need a thousand dollars for?
Foley
A little flash money.
Inspector Todd
Flash money. Well, let's see here - $2,000 for a suit, $200 for a tie, a requisition order for a Ferrari. I'm don't wanna see any more of these blue slips. When am I gonna see some arrest slips?
Foley
I know that you're getting upset. And I know that you have reason to be upset. But let me tell you something, chief. I am close, I am so close now. I'm closer than I've been, and it-it's makin me crazy. Cause I can smell it, it's in the air. And I smell it. It's... I sm- Do you smell it? Cause I smell it.
[sniffs]
Inspector Todd
All I smell is your bullshit. For six months, I been pourin money down a bottomless hole. Where the bad guys at the end of this rainbow?
Foley
Wait a second, look. I just thought, that if there was a problem-
Inspector Todd
Don't think, Axel! It makes my dick itch. The truth is, this department has fronted you a fortune. And my ass is on the line. I okayed all this shit!
