Acting Commissioner Ervin H. Burrell : We can discuss this tomorrow.
Maj. Stanislaus Valchek : No, I think we discuss it now. Or I'm gonna walk in there and tell Santoni to vote against this goddamn coronation. And more than that, I'm gonna talk some shit to some of my friends about what happened at the end of the Barksdale case. Do you hear me on that?
Acting Commissioner Ervin H. Burrell : The Barksdale case was a successful prosecution.
Maj. Stanislaus Valchek : Up until our people tried to chase the cash, maybe.

Maj. Stanislaus Valchek : I want a real detail, with real police and a real unit commander.
Acting Commissioner Ervin H. Burrell : Fine. Done.

Acting Commissioner Ervin H. Burrell : Look, I'll do what I can.
Maj. Stanislaus Valchek : Don't fuck with me, Erv. I got as many friends here in the Hall as you do. And with what I'm learnin' about the Barksdale case, I got all kinda shit I can throw.
