Authority and Respect in Conflict
Redneck What kind of cop are you?
Reggie You know what I am? I'm your worst fuckin nightmare, man. I'm a nigger with a badge which means I got permission to kick your fuckin ass whenever I feel like it!
Reggie Well, looky here, Hoss... you start running a respectable business and I won't have to come in here and hassle you every night. Know what I mean? And I want the rest of you cowboys to know something, there's a new sheriff in town. And his name is Reggie Hammond. Y'all be cool. Right on.
[to bartender as he's taking his cowboy hat, in mock Southern accent; to the bar patrons; throws bartender his hat back]

Car Deal Between Jack and Reggie
Jack I need a car. How about loaning me a couple thousand when you get out?
Reggie What kind of car do you want?
Jack A convertible. I'm a rag top man.
Reggie Deal.
[pause]
Jack Good. But even if you do give me the money for a car don't mean shit. If I ever hear that you're crossing the line, I'll bust your ass.
Reggie Now Jack, the both of us know that I'm gonna be an honest man from now on. Right?
Jack Good.
Reggie But if I did decide to be a thief, what makes you think you can catch me?
Jack Can I have my lighter back, Reggie?
[pause]

The Value of Class Over Appearance
Jack Class isn't something you buy. Look at you, you've got on a 500-dollar suit and you're still a low-life.
Reggie Yeah, but I look good.

Frustration and Conflict Between Unlikely Partners
Jack This sucks! A maniac gets ahold of my gun and runs all over the streets killing people with it. So, instead of being where I ought to be, home in bed with my gal giving her the high hard one, I'm out here doing THIS shit: roaming around the streets with an overdressed, charcoal-colored loser like you.
Reggie Look, man. If you don't like it, why don't you just leave? I can take care of Ganz by myself, all right?
Jack Hey, don't make me laugh. You can't take care of this shit. You been dicking me around since we started this turd hunt! The only thing you're good for is GAMES. So far, what I got out of you is nothing!
Reggie Yeah. Well, I'm real impressed with you too, man. It takes a real-skilled cop to kick in the bedroom door of a couple of dykes!
Jack Luther knows more and he told me and so do you. I want to know what the fuck this is all about! I gave you 48 hours to come up with something and the clock's running!
Reggie Yeah. Well, maybe I don't like the way you asked me, all right?
Jack Who GIVES a goddamn what YOU like? You're just a crook on a weekend pass! You're not even a goddamn NAME anymore! You're just a sprearchucker with a number stenciled on the back of his prison fatigues! And I'm through fucking around. You tell me the truth or you're going to get the living shit beat out of you.
Reggie Oh, you're going to kick MY ass now? I think you lost your mind, Cates. Just put your gun back in your holster and get in the car and let's go. I'm serious. I'm not in the mood and I'm just going to end up fucking you up out here and it's going to be an embarrassment to you and the police force.
Jack Let me explain one thing to you, nigger: I fight DIRTY!

Jack Now, get this! We ain't partners. We ain't brothers. And we ain't friends. I'm puttin you down and keepin you down until Ganz is locked up or dead. And if Ganz gets away, you're gonna be sorry YOU ever MET me!

Tension Escalates in Search for Ganz
Jack I'm looking for Ganz. Where is he?
[''Interrogating Luther'']
Luther Ganz? Haven't seen him in years, and that's the truth.
Jack Look asshole, you took a shot at me so I think you know where he is!
Luther Well, who gives a fuck what you think?!
Reggie Yo Luther man, you better tell this boy what he needs to know, he's having a ball with his car door.
Reggie Luther, are you angry with me?
[''Smiling'']
Jack I don't what you're smiling about, watermelon! Your big ass move turned out to be shit!

Conflict Over Criminal Protection and Accountability
Capt. Haden A bus! You goddamn Whiskey McCop! You lost a stolen bus! I got 5 deaths related to Ganz, and you blow it for a lousy nigger convict! That's right! I called him a nigger! You bet I did!
[''angry that Reggie and Jack did not capture Billy Bear and Ganz'']
Jack Come on.
[''to Reggie, handcuffing him'']
Capt. Haden Now I saw the report on that little piece of shit. If he spends one legal day in his life, it'll be a record! And this is it for you! Suspension, review board! You've had it! When it gets round you protected a con rather than...
Jack Alright, goddamn it! I'm gonna tell you something about this man! He's got more brains than you'll ever know! He's got more guts than any partner I ever had.
Capt. Haden Just cause you say it with conviction, it don't mean shit to me!
Jack Let's get out of here.
[''to Reggie'']
Capt. Haden And where the Christ do you think you're going?
Reggie Don't you think you're kind of being hard on the guy?
Capt. Haden You go fuck yourself, convict!
