Fort Apache, the Bronx - Decorations and Nicknames in the Precinct
Connolly:
What's all this Indian junk?
Heffernan:
Well, you know the precinct is nicknamed Fort Apache'...
Applebaum:
The men put that up, Captain. Guy goes on vacation, he brings back some kind of souvenir, you know?
Connolly:
It makes the place look like a fraternity house... take it down, lieutenant.
Applebaum:
It's not a good idea, Captain.
Connolly:
And let's see about getting this place painted.
Heffernan:
Well, that's kind of a problem, painters won't come up here.
Connolly:
We'll have to get all those civilians out from in front of the precinct.
Applebaum:
We can't do that.
Connolly: [stops, turns and looks Applebaum in the eye]
Excuse me?
Applebaum:
This is the only place the old folks can go without getting mugged. See, it's not a police station, it's a fort in hostile territory, you understand?
Heffernan: [agreeing]
Fort Apache'.
