[Jerry Lee has just single handedly taken out an entire bar of thugs who where roughing up Dooley]
Dooley: I want you to know that I'm the officer in charge here, Michael Dooley not Jerry Lee.
Jerry Lee: [looks at Dooley]
Dooley: Don't you ever...
Dooley: [pause] *ever* pull anything like that again, without talking to me first
Jerry Lee: [puts his head down]
Dooley: You lost it in there you know that, you lost control, we could be killed
[pause]
Dooley: I needed you back here.
Jerry Lee: [slowly lifts his head and looks at Dooley]
Dooley: What if they ran out?
[pause]
Dooley: You could've got them here.
Dooley: You understand.
Jerry Lee: [looks down]
[Dooley meets Jerry Lee]
Brannigan: There he is, the best nose on the force. He could stick that snout in the wind right now and lead you to a stash in the middle of Tijuana.
Dooley: Listen, I gotta be up front with you. I got a real bad feeling about this dog.
Brannigan: Hey, tough shit. That's all I got. Not I want you to take care.
Dooley: Don't worry about the dog.
Brannigan: It's not the dog I'm worried about.
Lyman: Dooley, what is it about me that makes you so passionate?
Dooley: Well, it's not your looks, Lyman. I guess it's your job.
Lyman: And knowing your methods of law enforcement, I don't suppose that you have a search warrant?
Dooley: Dog ate it. You can hang around his tail for an hour.
Dooley: Alright, let's get one thing straight: The woman is mine! Now we're both members of the animal kingdom. You know that and I know that. And we both know that this thing is really primal. So if you think you're such a badass you just try that one more time and you're gonna end up in a pet cemetary! You remember the movie Old Yeller? You remember when they shot him in the end? I didn't cry! Now come on!
[Helicopter pilots are shooting up Dooley's car]
Dooley: Well, it's not the Eyewitness News Team.
[Flames erupt underneath Dooley's car]
Dooley: I think somebody is mad at me.
[Dooley's car explodes]
Dooley: DEFINITELY somebody is mad at me.
Tracy: Do you know you have an animal growing out of your pants?
Dooley: Thanks, hon. I also have a dog here.
