- [discussing Lou Gordon's case]
- Capt. Gus Nonochek: Lou Gordon has pulled himself up a long hill and this business is knocking him right back down again. Now I happen to believe he's innocent. I owe to him to protect him if I can.
- Matt Gower: You can't protect him!
- Capt. Gus Nonochek: Well, if I can prove out his story early enough... I'll work on it on my own time.
- Matt Gower: Look, a police officer's time is never his own. He's on duty 24 hours a day!
- Capt. Gus Nonochek: Well, then I'll have to find a 30-hour day, Matt.

- Matt Gower: I know - you'd do it again. Come on, let's get out of here.
