Acceptable Risk (2010)

Michael Cram: Constable Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth

Quotes 

• Ed Lane : Boss she set a fire.

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : We must be closing in.

  Mike Scarlatti : [From truck]  Guys there's gonna be an automatic lock down.

  Ed Lane : Wordy go, go, go.

  [Unable to get to door before it locks] 

  Ed Lane : Damn it! Wordy get the fire, Spike override this lock down now, she's buying time!

  Mike Scarlatti : I'm trying but they just renovated the museum.

  Ed Lane : I don't care!

  Mike Scarlatti : No you do, the security system upgraded...

  Ed Lane : [Banging on the door]  Spike do it now!

  Mike Scarlatti : [Frustrated]  I haven't dealt with the 2700 before!

  Jill Hastings : [Flash to present inside briefing room]  At which point, your team leader responded with some colorful language.

  Mike Scarlatti : Ed says what he thinks.

  Jill Hastings : Profanity is an expression of loss of control. Not very reassuring for a team leader.

  Mike Scarlatti : Well he didn't lose control.

  Jill Hastings : He didn't make it harder for you to think clearly under pressure?

  Mike Scarlatti : No, he didn't.

  Jill Hastings : You sure?

  [Spike nods] 

  Jill Hastings : Active shooter, direct to threat imperative, and you cost your team valuable seconds trying to open a door.

  Mike Scarlatti : That wasn't 'cause of Ed that was because I didn't know this particular system.

  Jill Hastings : Doesn't your team count on you to be familiar with all the advances in security technology?

  Mike Scarlatti : I am, I stay on top of every release, but the 2700...

  Jill Hastings : The Bereeve don't want to hear about the 2700. They want to know whether charges of criminal negligence should be brought against the leaders of your team for the deaths that occurred after your arrival.

  Mike Scarlatti : When I was unable to override the security system and unlock the door, Ed took care of it.

  Jill Hastings : When you failed?

  Mike Scarlatti : When I failed, Ed succeeded. The team succeeded. We all have our roles, our strengths, and our weaknesses. We work together, we're not a bunch of guys, we're a unit.
