Babysitting a Key Witness in Protective Custody
Captain Murphy
I got something special for you boys. A guy by the name of Getz, Leo Getz has been placed in protective custody. And you two guys are gonna babysit him until Washington sends out the feds.
Riggs
How long?
Captain Murphy
Soon as all the red tape is processed. Couple, three days. This guy Getz is gonna testify before a commission of inquiry. Drugs, laundered money, et cetera, et cetera. This is not a shit assignment.
Riggs
Yes, it is.
Captain Murphy
No, it isn’t.
Murtaugh
It is.
[coughs from Riggs' smoke]
Captain Murphy
It isn’t.
Murtaugh
Captain, it’s a shit assignment.
Captain Murphy
Shut up, the both of ya.
Captain Murphy
I guaranteed this guy’s safety.
Murtaugh
Why us?
Captain Murphy
Because you two are the most qualified for the job. And, after last night, you could use the break.
Murtaugh
I can handle last night.
Riggs
What are we supposed to do with him?
Captain Murphy
How the hell should I know? Take him to Disneyland.
Riggs
Oh, this stinks. This stinks. This stinks!
Captain Murphy
I don’t give a fuck, Riggs. That’s why I don’t have an ulcer, because I know when to say, "I don’t give a fuck." Now here’s where he’s staying. It’s a nice hotel; all the expenses are being picked up by the Justice Dept, so enjoy yourselves. And Riggs, one more thing!
Riggs
What?
[turns back]
Captain Murphy
You know what that says?
[tosses him a small "no smoking" sign]
Riggs
Yeah, yeah, same thing as that. But I don’t give a fuck.
[points to the larger sign next to him on the door, smirking; throws the small placard back and walks out]
Murtaugh
You’re lucky. I have to live with that.
[wafts the smoke away from him]
