Battle Creek Quotes
You kidnapped yourself to smoke crack?
Milt
Milt: Russ, I want you to know that I agree with you.
Russ: That's very reassuring.
Milt: The digital crime board is just a piece of technology, it's a tool, nothing more.
Russ: It's a piece of useless technology, it's a crutch and you're a tool.
Mayor: Agent Chamberlain, sit right here. We have a seat of honor for Battle Creek's newest guest!
Russ: He's not a guest. Guests leave. [chuckles]
Good things change and become not so good. I like to leave while they're still good.

I was based in New York City, Tuesday, September 11, 2001. And I slept through it, literally. I had been up late the night before. I wasn't supposed to work that Tuesday. Forgot to set my alarm. Never charged my phone. What difference does it make? While people died and police officers and firefighters and hundreds of other people tried to save them and died, I just, uh, I never got a call. I never did anything. I just slept. So after that, I made a commitment that whenever I had a chance to do something, I'm gonna do it. Without asking why. And yes, Battle Creek is probably a demotion and yes, that probably means that someone doesn't like me but I don't ask those questions anymore. I just do what I'm asked to do to the best of my abilities.
Milt
I start an investigation, Milt, because I'm a cop. We're cops. That's what cops do. I smell something funny, I don't shrug and walk away, I try to figure out who farted.
Russ
Russ, you know, I think you're good and moral, but I think you hide from everyone. You're a good cop and a good partner, but you have no interest in being a friend.
Milt
[to Milt] Only you could take the case of a dead prostitute and make it about love.
Russ
