    Liquor Store Owner: If I ever get held up, you guys better be here.

  • Ray Pinker: Bud White - what brings *you* to the basement?

    Bud White: I got a couple Nite Owl questions.

    Ray Pinker: I don't know if you'd read the papers, but that case is closed.

    Bud White: Is there anything bothering you about it, Ray?

    Ray Pinker: Yeah, the fact that the pack-up boys haven't carted this shit out of here yet.

    [Bud sees all the boxes of case files, and starts to look through the crime scene photos]

    Ray Pinker: I got three shotguns, taken from the suspects, that match the strike marks on the shells from the Nite Owl. What more do you want?

    Bud White: [suddenly spotting a detail in a photo] There's blood on the wall here. I thought everybody but the cook got shot in the men's room?

    Ray Pinker: That is Stensland's blood.

    Bud White: Stensland?

    Ray Pinker: He took a blow to the head. Was probably unconscious when they dragged him in the john.

    Bud White: Did they hit anybody else?

    Ray Pinker: No. But he was a cop, he probably tried to "do something."
