A scene from Soylent Green 1973
Det. Thorn

Something stinks here.

Hatcher

Look. You'll sign this. And I'll bury it.

Det. Thorn

Like hell you will. A member of the board of the Soylent Corporation was torn apart with a meat hook! You can't sweep that carcass under the rug. Who bought you?

Hatcher

You're bought as soon as they pay you a salary.

Det. Thorn

Yeah, well, who is "they?"

Hatcher

High and hot, and they want this case closed permanently, their way, now you sign this!

Det. Thorn

You sign it! If my name closes this case and someone higher and hotter wants to know why, it's my job!

Hatcher

Sign it, I'll cover for you!

Det. Thorn

I won't put my job on the line for you, Hatcher...

Hatcher

But...

Det. Thorn

Not my damn job!!
