I don't wanna talk to some flunky pig tryin' to calm me, man.

Det. Moretti

Now you don't have to be calling me pig for...

Sonny

[notices other officers moving toward him]

What is he doin'?

Det. Moretti

[shouts at officers]

Will you get back there?!

Sonny

What are you movin' in there for?!

[runs toward closing officers]

Will you get the **** back there?! Get back there, will ya?!

[the crowd cheers]
