Doc Johnson : You're new here, ain't you? College boy?
Lt. Pope : Two years.
Doc Johnson : Right on, baby. Yeah. I could get you his job. They're looking for bright black boys on the force. How much are we paying this dude, Shevvy?
Shevvy : He's the guy that sent back the Christmas present.
Doc Johnson : Yeah? Mr Mattelli don't do that. We've been giving him 2,500 a month for the past two years. And he come in here, giving me orders. Shit! He works for me! He works for me, the same as the whores and the dealers.
Capt. Mattelli : I only took gambling money.
Doc Johnson : Oh, yeah, yeah, they all say that. No. No, you don't take whoring money, you don't take dirty junkie money. You only take nice, clean numbers money. Where do you think it comes from?
