Constable Karen Pelly : Davis, I know you're my senior officer, so I say this with all due respect: how stupid are you?

Karen Pelly : How stupid are you? You can't just fire your gun off willy-nilly!
Davis : It wasn't willy-nilly, it was at crows.

Constable Karen Pelly : Lacey, so what if Brent doesn't want to go out with you? It's not you. You are plenty good looking. You are way better looking for girls than he is for boys. Way.
Lacey Burrows : Oh, Karen, thank you!
Constable Karen Pelly : No problem. I mean, that's what friends do, right?
Lacey Burrows : Mm hm!
Constable Karen Pelly : They say things that aren't exactly true to make their friends feel good about themselves.
Lacey Burrows : Is that what you just did?
Constable Karen Pelly : Yeah.
Lacey Burrows : Usually you don't tell the person.

Lacey Burrows : Think about the men of Dog River. Do you see? We've adapted our standards because of what's available to us. Brent, because he's not tragically flawed, is seen as beautiful when held up against the average.
Wanda Dollard : Well, I see what you're saying, but...
Lacey Burrows : You see? Wanda agrees with me. Oh, I am so glad that's settled. Now I've got to get back to work.
Constable Karen Pelly : Was that as big a load as it sounded?
Wanda Dollard : Huge load. She's living in a dream world.
Constable Karen Pelly : Yeah. Brent's not hot. Whatever!

Karen Pelly : "... and any firing of the sidearm shall warrant a full and thorough internal report to be executed and filed by a fellow officer."
Davis Quinton : How are we supposed to know what's right and what's wrong, when they keep adding new rules?
Karen Pelly : This was published in 1964.
Davis Quinton : I wasn't even a cop in '64, how am I supposed to know that stuff?
