Quotes 

• Captain Logan : You are the detectives. Go and detect.

• Captain Logan : [to Ray and Danny]  Hey! That jumper yesterday? Just got a flash from the coroner on the cause of death!

  Danny Costanzo : Oooh, let me guess. Deceleration trauma.

  Ray Hughes : Cement poisoning.

  Captain Logan : He drowned.

  Danny Costanzo : Oh, poor guy couldn't swim or fly, huh?

• Captain Logan : You're gonna what?

  Danny Costanzo : Quit. Leave. Depart. Vamoose. Amscray.

  Ray Hughes : Retire! This is our official 30 day notice.

  Captain Logan : Let me tell you something. When you've been cops this long, you are not fit for anything else. What are you gonna do, open a bar?

  Ray Hughes : [gives Danny a sidelong glance]  We're looking for some new career challenges.

  Danny Costanzo : Yeah, something with a future.

  Captain Logan : Show me another career they let you shoot people.

• Captain Logan : I hear you two watched 'em mop up the pancake today.

  Danny Costanzo : Hi, Captain.

  Captain Logan : You two weren't, uh, interrogating a suspect up on the roof, were you?

  Ray Hughes : We got an alibi, Captain. Snake, tell him where we were or we'll kill you, too.

• Captain Logan : You had to be rescued like a couple of rookies. Maybe you need a rest.

  Ray Hughes : We don't need a rest.

  Captain Logan : Well, I need a rest from you. I'm approving your request for vacation.

  Danny Costanzo : No! We got too much goin' on!

  Captain Logan : [chuckles]  You know, it's a very bad sign when a cop thinks that Chicago will fall apart without him. You're on vacation, effective now.

  Ray Hughes : We're not goin'!

  Captain Logan : Let me tell you something. If I find you in the city, I'm gonna have you arrested. If you step one foot in this station house, I'm gonna have you shot.

• Captain Logan : Your pal Gonzales is back on the street.

  Danny Costanzo : What?

  Captain Logan : He made bail. And if he gets the right lawyer, he probably is gonna go free. Right now, he's a private citizen, just like you two wanna be.

  Ray Hughes : Private citizen? The man shot Snake in front of four police officers!

  Captain Logan : You witnessed him pull the trigger?

• Captain Logan : You two may be quitting too late instead of too early. I have seen it before: short timers' disease. You're already looking forward to the good times. You're getting careful, aren't you?

  Ray Hughes : We are not!

  Danny Costanzo : What's wrong with being careful?

  Captain Logan : Careful gets you killed in this line of work. You think about getting shot and you get shot.
