Dooley

 * Alright, let's get one thing straight: The woman is mine! Now we're both members of the animal kingdom. You know that and I know that. And we both know that this thing is really primal. So if you think you're such a badass, you just try that one more time and you're gonna end up in a pet cemetery! You remember the movie Old Yeller? You remember when they shot him in the end? I didn't cry! Now come on!
 * [helicopter pilots are shooting up Dooley's car] Well, it's not the Eyewitness News Team. [flames erupt underneath Dooley's car] I think somebody is mad at me. [Dooley's car explodes] DEFINITELY somebody is mad at me.

Dialogue

 * Lyman: Dooley, what is it about me that makes you so passionate?
 * Dooley: Well, it's not your looks, Lyman. I guess it's your job.
 * Lyman: And knowing your methods of law enforcement, I don't suppose that you have a search warrant?
 * Dooley: Dog ate it. You can hang around his tail for an hour.


 * [Dooley meets Jerry Lee]
 * Brannigan: There he is, the best nose on the force. He could stick that snout in the wind right now and lead you to a stash in the middle of Tijuana.
 * Dooley: Listen, I gotta be up front with you. I got a real bad feeling about this dog.
 * Brannigan: Hey, tough shit. That's all I got. Not I want you to take care.
 * Dooley: Don't worry about the dog.
 * Brannigan: It's not the dog I'm worried about.


 * [Jerry Lee has just single handedly taken out an entire bar of thugs who were roughing up Dooley]
 * Dooley: I want you to know that I'm the officer in charge here, Michael Dooley not Jerry Lee.
 * Jerry Lee: [looks at Dooley]
 * Dooley: Don't you ever... [pause] *ever* pull anything like that again, without talking to me first.
 * Jerry Lee: [puts his head down]
 * Dooley: You lost it in there you know that, you lost control, we could be killed. :[pause] I needed you back here.
 * Jerry Lee: [slowly lifts his head and looks at Dooley]
 * Dooley: What if they ran out? [pause] You could've got them here. You understand?
 * Jerry Lee: [looks down]


 * Tracy: Do you know you have an animal growing out of your pants?
 * Dooley: Thanks, hon. I also have a dog here.
