Robert John Burke: Officer Patrick Simmons

Quotes 

• Officer Patrick Simmons : Petersen, surprised you dragged your ass out of bed.

  Detective Petersen : I was told there was a chance to shoot people. Imagine my disappointment, suit's a no-show. Probably laying low. Doubt he's gonna stick his head out again.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : Our pal stormed a judge's house. Subtle he ain't. He's hiding, all right, but you can bet it's in plain sight.

• Officer Patrick Simmons : [Reading fortune cookies]  Hey, Fusco, want to know your fortune? Huh? "You will be unusually successful at your career". You know, I don't think that one's true.

  [Reads another] 

  Officer Patrick Simmons : "A thrilling time is in your future". We're getting close now. Oh, here we go. "Tell your friends what they want to know, or they will break you apart limb by limb". That's more like it. So what's it gonna be, Fusco?

• Detective Lionel Fusco : The hell am I?

  Officer Patrick Simmons : Someplace no one will hear you scream, since you'll be doing a lot of that. Meet your new best friends.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Petersen, right? Always remember a pretty face.

  Detective Petersen : [Holds up the key Carter gave Fusco]  How about this? Look familiar?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : You emptied my pockets. Think there's some lint in there too.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : You're a funny guy, Fusco. Must have had your ex-partner in stitches. When's the last time you saw Carter?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : I don't know. Let me check my day planner.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : We know you met with Carter tonight. She handed you something, looked an awful lot like this. What does it open? See, Carter has information on our organization, hidden it somewhere. From the size and shape of this key, I'd say it opens up a safe deposit box.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : It's my locker at the Y. You're welcome to my dirty jock.

• Officer Patrick Simmons : Do we have a problem, Your Honor?

  Judge Andrew Monahan : Do you consider a felony murder charge a problem? Because if that bitch cop and her gun-wielding cohort get Alonzo Quinn into federal custody, that's what we'll all be facing.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : No one is gonna be charged. We have checkpoints on all the roads. They'll never make it downtown.

  Judge Andrew Monahan : Carter said she had evidence on HR, pictures, recordings. She has me on tape working with you people!

  Officer Patrick Simmons : We have a team tossing her place. No one is gonna kill her until we get that evidence. We need to come up with a story. Do you have a firearm in the house?

  Judge Andrew Monahan : In that far drawer.

  [Simmons gets it] 

  Judge Andrew Monahan : Fine, what's the story?

  Officer Patrick Simmons : Robbers broke into your home, they looted the place, and shot you.

  [Shoots the judge] 

• Officer Patrick Simmons : Bring me Officer Carter and Alonzo Quinn alive. And if Quinn gets so much as a hangnail, I will come after you. Do you understand?

  Officer Brady : What about our pal in the suit?

  Officer Patrick Simmons : I should've ended him a long time ago. Tell our friends, shoot to kill.

• Detective Lionel Fusco : [Being tortured]  That the best you got?

  Officer Patrick Simmons : No. You know us, Lionel. It's gonna get so much worse.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : What are you gonna do, read some more fortune cookies? Huh? Bore me to death?

  Officer Patrick Simmons : See, that's the problem with you, Fusco. You never listen. It's like talking to a child. You have a kid, don't you? What's the little guy's name? Lee. I feel sorry for that kid, I do. He's got defective genes, just like you.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : You touch him, and I'll send you to hell.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : Is that a promise? Huh? Because when I make a promise, I keep it. Where's the safe deposit box? Which bank? Or I kill you and your kid.
