Freddy Heflin: All the best girls were taken.
Gary "Figgsy" Figgis: Listen to me, I got a check in my pocket for $200,000. I got a chance to start my life again. I don't give a shit about this town, I don't give a shit about that town and I don't give a shit about your fucking justice. Bein' right is not a bulletproof vest, Freddy.
Figgs: Being right is not a bullet-proof vest, Freddy!
Moe Tilden: The case is closed, finished, over! Go to lunch! Go! Hey, go to lunch. Go to lunch! The case is closed. Everybody, get the fuck outta here. Get outta here! The case is fucking closed!

Gary "Figgsy" Figgis: You don't go down Broadway to get to Broadway! You zig! You zag!
Figgs: Look Freddy, I say it's okay to be jealous. You save this girl's life, right? From it, from risking yourself, from saving her sorry ass, you go deaf as a result.
Sheriff Freddy Heflin: In one ear.
Figgs: In one ear. Then you have to watch this girl you saved, this beauty queen, marries this cocksucker.
Deputy Bill Geisler: I don't know about Ray, but not everyone in Garrison is a murderer.
Sheriff Freddy Heflin: No, they just keep their eyes closed and their mouths shut, just like me.
Moe Tilden: Can't do anything now! Hands are tied now!
Figgs: Shut the fuck up, would ya, please? Sh - fuck!
Moe Tilden: That cupcake makes a mess and we got a case again.
Figgs: Don't shut me out, Ray! You found us a sweet little town. You got us the low interest, and I'm grateful. But don't forget who it was that you came to two years ago to cover your ass.
Ray Donlan: Get him outta here Freddy.
Sheriff Freddy Heflin: Come on.
[as he tries to pull Figgs out of the bar but is pushed away]
Figgs: It's not my fault that you can't look at him! You sit in this chair with your back to 'im. You want it to go away, but I'm still here. In for a penny, in for a pound. Don't shut me out, Ray.
Moe Tilden: I gave you a chance to be a cop and you blew it

Ray Donlan: What are we, like the Amish now?

Ray Donlan: You think I'm all that, huh, Joey?
Ray Donlan: You're just a child, Freddie.
Ray Donlan: You know the difference between men and boys? Boys bet everything on everything! Boys think every hand is a royal flush! You play cards with a man, he knows his limits.
Ray Donlan: See officer, in Garrison, when the car you're gonna tag has got a PDA sticker, I'd advise you to think to yourself, "Hey, that's one of the good guys. I think I'll go catch me a bad guy."
Deputy Cindy Betts: If we didn't pull over P.D., there wouldn't be any violations in this town.
