A scene from Lethal Weapon 2 1989
Captain Ed Murphy

I got something special for you boys. A guy by the name of Getz, Leo Getz has been placed in protective custody. And you two guys are gonna babysit him until Washington sends out the feds.

Martin Riggs

How long?

Captain Ed Murphy

Soon as all the red tape is processed. Couple, three days. This guy Getz is gonna testify before a commission of inquiry. Drugs, laundered money, et cetera, et cetera. This is not a shit assignment.

Martin Riggs

[Riggs starts smoking]

Yes, it is.

Captain Ed Murphy

No, it isn't.

Captain Ed Murphy

It isn't.

Roger Murtaugh

Captain, it's a shit assignment.

Captain Ed Murphy

Shut up, the both of ya.

Captain Ed Murphy

[Another cop comes in and hands the Captain a file.]

I guaranteed this guy's safety.

Roger Murtaugh

Why us?

Captain Ed Murphy

Because you two are the most qualified for the job. And, after last night, you could use the break.

Roger Murtaugh

I can handle last night.

Martin Riggs

What are we supposed to do with him?

Captain Ed Murphy

How the hell should I know? Take him to Disneyland.

Martin Riggs

Oh, this stinks. This stinks. This stinks!

Captain Ed Murphy

I don't give a ****, Riggs. That's why I don't have an ulcer, because I know when to say, "I don't give a ****." Now here's where he's staying. It's a nice hotel; all the expenses are being picked up by the Justice Dept, so enjoy yourselves. :[They start to leave] And Riggs, one more thing!

Martin Riggs

[Turning back]

What?

Captain Ed Murphy

[Tosses him a small 'no smoking' sign.]

You know what that says?

Martin Riggs

Yeah, yeah, same thing as that. [Points to the large 'no smoking' sign next to him on the door, smirking.] But I don't give a ****. [Throws the small placard back and walks out.]

Roger Murtaugh

You're lucky. I have to live with that.
