Lots of good stuff in this movie, but here's my two favorites.

[when Sid Hudgens is found dead]

Bud White: What happened?

Detective at Hush-Hush Office: Somebody beat him to death and stole a bunch of files. Must've dug up garbage on the wrong guy. Got it narrowed down to a thousand suspects.

With Exley & White at the Victory Motel in a position tantamount to the end of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid....

Ed Exley: All I ever wanted was to measure up to my father.

Bud White: Now's your chance.

Bud White: [after Exley gives him a puzzled look] He died in the line of duty, didn't he?

Yours??

*Spoilers I guess*

Before killing Sid Hudgens, Dudley says "Hush hush". A bit of dark humour there, but I really lol'd at that, I mean loudly.

This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.

Every other line in the movie is a favorite. I cant choose just 2 or 3. My favorite movie of the 90's. 👍

"LAPD, sh*tbird. Get the fuq out of here or I'll call your wife to come get you."

Good one. And it was said the Crowe way. 👍

" Well, just dont shoot me" The actors were so good they made even lines like this one great.

" Shotgun Ed "

" dope fiends"

A very entertaining movie. They were smart enough to add in bits of humor here and there .

Yeah, every other line is memorable, but these are two of my faves:

White: "The Nite Owl case made you. Do you want to tear all that down?"
Exley: "With a wrecking ball.. You want to help me swing it?"

Captain Smith: "Go back to Jersey, sonny. This is the City of the Angels, and you haven't got any wings."

Dudley: It's best not to mess with a man when his blood's up.
Exley: His blood is always up.

Bud White and Exley burst into the D.A.'s office
Secretary: Should I call the police?
D.A.: These are the police.

do you have any proof?
the proof had his throat slit.

is that how you used to run the good-cop/bad-cop?

maybe that's why he's under a house in Elysian Park and he doesn't smell too good.

will someone tell that mime to shut up?

D.A.: "Dudley Smith is a highly decorated member of this police department. I'm not going to smear his and Peirce Patchet's name without..."

Exley: "Without what? Them smearing yours first? What do they have on you Lowe? Pictures of you and Matt Reynolds with your pants down?"
