Leon quotes from Hollywood Homicide (2003)

Leon

Joe. K.C.

Hey, Leon.

Leon

Hey. I'm making you two primaries on this disaster. Since you made no progress in the Klepto murder, I figure you're due.

K.C.

Thanks for the confidence.

Leon

Yeah, no problem.

Joe

Commingling funds, huh? That's my crime? Commingling? Guilty. My alimony number one comes from money commingled with my beer money. My refinanced car commingled with the short-term loan to keep the second mortgage paid off, commingled with my alimony number three, commingled with every Goddamn dime I've got tied up in my Mt. Olympus property. My whole life's commingled.

Bennie

Well, I glad you brought up the property on Mt. Olympus. You're attempting to sell it without disclosing you also own it.

Joe

This isn't about real estate, is it, Bennie?

Leon

Bennie, what the hell's going on here? Look, as immediate supervisor of these men, you are bound to inform me of any investigation involving my section.

Bennie

You're so informed.

Leon

You couldn't have told me first?

Joe

Welcome to the party, Leon. I'm trying to find out what I'm guilty of, besides going to one too many airport real estate seminars.

Bennie

Well, for starters, Sergeant, you know a woman named Cleo Ricard?

Joe

I talk to her. Talks cheap.

Bennie

Because Administrative Vice, which has been watching her for two years, is on the verge of making a major prostitution bust, and you're in there making promises to her to intervene. In addition to that, you haven't registered her as an informant.

Bennie

I've got arrest warrants for Gavilan and Calden right here. Hey, separate them! I don't want them talking to anybody! Nobody talks to them until they get downtown! Christ! Shit!

Leon

Shut up and turn around, Bennie!

Bennie

What?

Leon

Cuff his ass and take him downtown.

Bennie

What are you talking about?

Bennie

Get your hands off me, you son of a bitch! You're making a big mistake, pal. You can kiss your career goodbye!

Leon

Good.

Bennie

Call my lawyer!
