Lieutenant Briggs: I've got nothing personal against you, Callahan, but we can't have the public crying police brutality every time you go out onto the street. Harry Callahan: Well you just might need me on a job like this. Whoever did this was very good at it. Lieutenant Briggs: You're sure one to know, Harry.
