Street: What are you gonna do, piss away all the hard work you did to get here?

Gamble: Piss WHAT away, Jimmy? The cage? C'mon man, we're better than that and you know it. Gonna come with me? Well, a real partner wouldn't have to ask that, would he?

Street: A real partner would step up to what he did at the bank.

Gamble: Yeah, I saved the hostage.

Street: You disobeyed the hold.

Gamble: No. I saved that hostage.

Street: [shouts] You disobeyed the hold! You made the decision yourself, and you shot a hostage, Jesus, Brian!

Gamble: [shocked] Wow, you sound a lot like Fuller. Is that what you two were talking about in there? You rat me out, you cut a deal to get back on the team, Jimmy?

Street: Did I cut a deal?

Gamble: Yeah, did you?

Street: How many times have I covered up for your goddamn stunts?

Gamble: [shrugs; picks up badge; tosses badge to Street] That's what a partner's supposed to do... You just picked a paycheck over me, bro.

Street: You just picked yourself over everything else.

Gamble: [slaps locker in anger] You wanna stay here, be Fuller's bitch? You go right ahead, but I can't do it, nope, can't do it. Goddmanit goddamnit god-'-damnit, Jimmy.

Street: Partners for five years, this is how you wanna end it?

Gamble: Nuh, uh. I didn't end it. You sold me out to the press.

Street: [tosses badge back to Gamble, who comes over and grabs Street by the shirt in anger] You know, I never realized until now how full of shit you are.

Velasquez: Captain. They're two of our best officers.

Fuller: Well I'm not sticking them back in the field after a stunt like that.

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

Fuller: [Becoming angry with Gamble] Hey, you've got a big mouth, and apparently you're quick on the trigger, and *that* is why your ass is in a sling!

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

Fuller: Fine, stick'em in the gun cage. Get'em out of my sight.
