Moral Dilemmas in Law Enforcement
Alonzo
It behooves you not to dick around on this one. Justifiable homicide in the line of duty? What happened was...
Jake
What happened was murder... and armed robbery. Wait, we had badges, so it's different?
Alonzo
Open your eyes, son. Can't you see?
Jake
That man was your friend, and you killed him like a fly.
Alonzo
Why is he my friend, because he knows my first name? Roger sold dope to kids. The world is a better place without him. This man was the biggest major violator in Los Angeles. This is the game. I'm playing his ass. That's my job. That's your job. I watched that cocksucker operate with impunity for over 10 years, and now I got him. The shit's chess, it ain't checkers. What, we all of a sudden gonna roll up in a black-and-white? Come on, man, take the money.
Jake
I told you, I'm *not* gonna take that money.
Alonzo
All right, burn it, barbecue it, fish-fry it, I don't give a fuck. But the boys'll feel better about it.
Jake
*Fuck* their feelings.
