Captain Howard Cheney
- Captain Howard Cheney: You got a smart mouth, and it's gonna get you in trouble someday.
- Thelma: Yeah, and it also may bite your ass if you don't stop tryin' to aggravate my patient!
- Amelia: Shit! Cheney's here.
- [puts the evidences into her pocket]
- Captain Howard Cheney: You talking to Rhyme on that thing? Give me the radio. Now, listen, Linc. This is Cheney, man. What the hell do you think you're doing? Stealing evidence is a goddamn felony. You know that.
- Lincoln Rhyme: To my understanding, there's no chain of evidence voucher.
- Captain Howard Cheney: Oh, yeah? Well, I got some news for you. You are not a cop anymore. You understand that? What you are is a fucking meddling cripple. Now, I'm gonna place your little gofer here under arrest. You don't mind that, do ya? Lock her up.
- [looks back and finds Amelia gone]
- Paulie: Where'd she go?
- Amelia: Excuse me, but the victim was already dead when we arrived.
- Captain Howard Cheney: And you, half-assed patrolman working a crime scene... those days are over. I'll take that evidence bag now, thank you.
- Amelia: You can take it with a chain of custody voucher, sir.
- Captain Howard Cheney: Are you out of your mind? Hmmm? Let's go. You're coming with us.
- Amelia: What? Are you arresting me?
- Captain Howard Cheney: You just get in the car, and keep your mouth shut to the press.
- Captain Howard Cheney: You the one who stopped the train?
- Amelia: Yes, sir. I thought it would disturb physical evidence.
- Captain Howard Cheney: So, why not shut down Grand Central while you're at it, hmm, Patrolman Donahue? Is that right?
- Amelia: Donaghy.
- Captain Howard Cheney: A rookie, I take it?
- Amelia: No, sir.
- Captain Howard Cheney: Pretty dumb.
