U.S. Marshals quotes
Catherine Walsh Never one to be afraid of the obvious. I admire that in a man, Sam.
Sam Gerard
Have I done something?
Catherine Walsh Yeah. You hit your prisoner while he was in handcuffs; that's against the rules. If he had any brains, he'd sue us.
Sam Gerard
He bit one of my kids; he got smacked on the head! So what?
Catherine Walsh So what?
Sam Gerard
Yeah. So what?
Catherine Walsh 27 stitches is "so what."
Sam Gerard
He needed a smack on the head. That's what he got.
Sam Gerard
Who's got my clothes?
I do.
Bobby Biggs [Cosmo shows a purple jacket]
I told you.
What?
Bobby Biggs He doesn't like it.
But I got this last Christmas.
[showing Marie pictures of the dead agents]
This is Sam Harmon, one of my friends, Sheridan killed him with his own bare hands. So was Neil Kazunski. Kazunski had three little kids.
Marie Bineaux
Stop doing this to me. Even if I knew this man. It's not a crime, he's done nothing wrong. I haven't heard from him.
Noah Newman So, you do know him.
You just lied to us.
Noah Newman That's a federal offense.
Sam Gerard
Cosmo, where are you?
[shouting over the New York traffic]
I'm in traffic! I'm in New York City! Where the hell do you think I am? We're on our way!
Sam.
Sam Gerard
Cosmo.
We're still at the Chinese Consulate. No sign of Chen since he went in.
Sam Gerard
Get the N.Y.P.D. on him. I want you and Royce here at Queens Hills Cemetery.
Where the hell is Queens Hills Cemetery?
Sam Gerard
Ask a cop.
Know what? You look like hell.
Sam Gerard
I'm tired. I'm beat up.
Get some rest, I'll wake you.
Sam Gerard
I'll be all right. That must be the gun that shot Newman.
You are really on my very last nerve. You are a mind-boggling pain in my ass. Why couldn't you just die at the cemetery? Or on the plane? Cut yourself out of the rest if you want. Sit up. You know the job. You had the same training. We eliminate threats. You are the threat. Guess what? I'm down to my last option here.
It was you. You set me up. You were the traitor.
Yeah. I'm the man, Mark. You're the delivery boy. I needed a fall guy to make the bag drop in case things went south. Like the two DDS agents you gunned down at the U.N. Their blood is on your hands. If it's any consolation, I chose you because you're the best. That was my mistake. But I'm going to fix it now. You'll put that knife down like a good boy and... (Sheridan falls from his bed) Good night.
Sam Gerard
What are you doing?
He tried to escape. Better shoot him, then.
Sam Gerard
Want to use your old gun?
It's Sheridan's.
Sam Gerard
No, it's yours. You filed off the serial number. The gun he took from you, the gun he shot me with. The one you've carried since. I bet the bullets we pulled from my vest match those that killed Newman. Why did you shoot that boy?
Didn't have a choice, really, Sam. He interrupted while I tried to put into Sheridan. (points his gun to Sam Gerard) What'll your story be? You caught me turning him loose? I'll think of something.
Sam Gerard
[after killing Royce]
Welcome home, Mark, wanna start running again?
I think I'm going back to bed.
You know, you owe me an apology.
Sam Gerard
Yeah, I know, Cosmo, I know. But uh...
But what?
Sam Gerard
[exhales]
But I don't even like you, man.
Sam Gerard
[everyone laughs]
Come on, let's go drink a toast to a good deputy named Noah Woodrow Newman.
Deputy Marshal Bobby Biggs If we're going to drink to Newman, we better use milk.
What the hell is the matter with you? Sam, you can't do this. I know how you feel. Look, I feel the same way. I loved that kid, too, but this is wrong. I'm telling you this as your friend.
You're not my friend.
[enraged]
Fine. Forget it. You wanna kill Sheridan, go ahead, you do it. But remember this: You forget everything you taught me about this job. The rules, the regulations, the code. You do this, and it's all about you. It's not about Newman. It's about you. The great Sam Gerard.
And you always have to win.
Lamb I admit it was wrong to withhold information from you, but the fact remains, Sheridan killed those agents. He's still at large. He's armed, he's dangerous. Until we have him, we won't know the extent of the leak. Now you have your precious information. What do you intend to do?
Son of a bitch, why'd you do it?!
Barrows
What are you talking about?
You don't know what I'm talking about? You're selling secrets to China. An American response to an invasion of Taiwan. Strategic defense of South Korea. Make sense now?
Barrows
Why should it? I swear I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't lie to me!
Barrows
Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'll do what you want.
I won't kill you. You're gonna make me righteous again. Why'd you set me up? Huh? Why'd you set me up?!
Barrows
Lamb was closing in. We needed a fall guy. With you caught red-handed, we were free and clear.
"We"? Who's "we"?
Barrows
I can't--
Who is "we"?
Barrows
If I tell you, he'll kill me.
He won't have a chance.
Poe [to Samuel]
Uh, what do you think?
Set perimeter to extend downstream from Brookport to Mound City! Every bridge across the Ohio River, from Golconda to Metropolis to Cairo, needs to be closed down! Extending south from Alexander and Pulaski county lines, have every house, hotel, hospital, back road and backwater searched for Mr. Mark J. Roberts!
Poe Seems we have ourselves a bona fide federal fugitive out on the lam. Name of Roberts, Mark J. Uh, somebody give me a map. Who's got a map around here?
Earl I got one.
Poe Oh, all right. Thanks, Earl. Okay. Okay. Now, uh... I want you setting up roadblocks, general radius of, uh...ahem, uh, 10, 12 miles--
Twenty.
Poe What?
He's got a real big head start.
Poe Oh, okay, 20 then. That sounds good. And...In all directions, just like a big--
Perimeter.
Poe Uh, circle deal. Uh, which should start somewhere near, uh... Uh...
All right, could I have your attention? We're gonna divide up and search this swamp. One officer with each of you. [to a group of volunteers] Who knows most about this terrain?
Volunteer 1 [hand raised]
That's me.
Volunteer 2 [hand raised]
Right here.
All right, which one of you is the ugliest, most inbred, country son-of-a-bitch here?
[Volunteers laugh with their hands raised, except one who spits on the ground] [points to the spitter]
You come with me.
[Gerard finally catches up to Sheridan, who is standing at the edge of the rooftop about to jump] [Gun pointed at Sheridan]
Sheridan! Sheridan! Turn it around! Get down from there and face me!
You'll have to shoot me!
TURN...AROUND!
...Can't...I can't be caught. [Jumps off the roof]
I guess you'll just have to slap the cuffs on me, and take me in...
OK, Michael. Regular or extra crispy?
Remember, Sheridan could be anywhere people, stay alive.
These things are so cool. They can shoot underwater, pour sand in them and they'll shoot. They shoot every time.
You are really on my very last nerve. You are a mind-boggling pain in my ass.
You play any tricks, I gotta shoot you!
