Gonzalez
[about quitting the force]

I've been doing a lot of thinking about it. I have a teaching credential and I figure, what for, you know?
...

Gonzalez's wife

I thought I could take it...Whatever it takes to be a cop's wife, I'm just not sure I'm making it. He really tries and these bastards, you know, Pig this, Pig that. Ah, but maybe it's when I watch him walk out that door at night, and I think, what if this is the last time I ever see him again...doesn't it drive your wife crazy?

Nope.

Gonzalez's wife

You mean she got used to it.

No, she never did really.

Gonzalez's wife

Well, what then?

She's dead.

Gonzalez's wife

Oh, please forgive me.

She was driving home late one night and a drunk crossed the center line. There was no reason for it really.

Gonzalez's wife

I'm so sorry.

That's o.k. Look, I want you to tell Chico that I understand, you know, him quitting. I-I think he's right. This is no life for you two.

Gonzalez's wife

Why do you stay in it then?

I don't know, I really don't.
