Bad Influence (1987)

Holly Robinson Peete: Officer Judy Hoffs

Quotes 

• Captain Adam Fuller : It seems a gym teacher working at Lincoln overheard his boys talking about a hooker who's working the school.

  Officer Doug Penhall : Hookers in the class room? An idea whose time has come.

  Officer Judy Hoffs : It sounds like a story a bunch of guys like Penhall would make up.

• Officer Judy Hoffs : [undercover as Judy Morris]  Do you mind if I sit here?

  Lauren Carlson : No, go ahead.

  Officer Judy Hoffs : [undercover as Judy Morris]  This is a great library. The one over at Jefferson was only half the size.

  Lauren Carlson : You're a transfer.

  Officer Judy Hoffs : [undercover as Judy Morris]  Yeah, it's my first day. I'm Judy Morris.

  Lauren Carlson : Lauren Carlson. I transferred in last semester. It's pretty cool here.

• Officer Judy Hoffs : Hi, I'll catch you later, okay.

  Officer Harry Truman Ioki : Hi.

  Officer Judy Hoffs : What's up?

  Officer Harry Truman Ioki : Listen, I got a date with Lauren for tomorrow night.

  Officer Judy Hoffs : You still think she's a hooker?

  Officer Harry Truman Ioki : I don't know. We didn't say very much.

  Officer Judy Hoffs : Harry, come on, you've dealt with working girls before. Does she really strike you as one?

  Officer Harry Truman Ioki : That's it, I don't know yet. Besides what makes you sure that she isn't?

  Officer Judy Hoffs : It's the same old story, Harry. A bunch of guys get together making up stuff. "She's hot. She can't get enough. She swings through chandeliers." And nobody ever stops to think about how it affects the girl.

• Officer Judy Hoffs : Lauren, I know there's no house in Connecticut, no horse, no father. I know what you're doing.

  Lauren Carlson : Let me tell you something. What I do is no different to what every other woman winds up doing.

  Officer Judy Hoffs : It's a lot different. Most women don't sell their bodies, Lauren.

  Lauren Carlson : Like heck they don't. They just sell it for high priced dinners, theatre tickets, mink coat, and maybe even a wedding ring. All I'm doing is taking mine upfront, and in cash.

  Officer Judy Hoffs : Is that what your Mom taught you?

  Lauren Carlson : You leave my Mother out of this.

  Officer Judy Hoffs : I have a feeling she's a big part of this, Lauren.

  Lauren Carlson : Part of what? All I'm doing is taking care of my family. No ones getting hurt.

• Lauren Carlson : Okay, so what happens now?

  Officer Judy Hoffs : We book you for suspicion of conspiracy in the Belmont robberies. We've got a pretty good case. You'll probably be sent to a J.D. school.

• Officer Judy Hoffs : We will find out who Lauren's partnered with. Just let me try talking to her first before we arrest her.

  Captain Adam Fuller : Wait, wait, wait. I want to know what she's done to deserve this special handling besides lie to you from the start?

  Officer Judy Hoffs : Her mother's a pro, her father's non existent. The girl probably was raised in the back room of a massage parlor, she never had a chance.

  Captain Adam Fuller : Hoffs, we are police officers not social workers.

• Officer Harry Truman Ioki : Okay.

  Officer Judy Hoffs : Look, I'm sorry I've been acting like such a jerk. Let's just forget everything I said before, okay?

  Officer Harry Truman Ioki : Yeah, it's forgotten.
