Quotes
-
Connolly : What's all this Indian junk?
Heffernan : Well, you know the precinct is nicknamed 'Fort Apache'...
Applebaum : The men put that up, Captain. Guy goes on vacation, he brings back some kind of souvenir, you know?
Connolly : It makes the place look like a fraternity house... take it down, lieutenant.
Applebaum : It's not a good idea, Captain.
Connolly : And let's see about getting this place painted.
Heffernan : Well that's kind of a problem, painters won't come up here.
Connolly : We'll have to get all those civilians out from in front of the precinct.
Applebaum : We can't do that.
Connolly : [stops, turns and looks Applebaum in the eye] Excuse me?
Applebaum : This is the only place the old folks can go without getting mugged. See, it's not a police station, it's a fort in hostile territory, you understand?
Heffernan : [agreeing] 'Fort Apache'.
