Episode Quotes
John Cooper: You're a cop because you don't know how not to be one. If you feel that way, you're a cop. If you don't, you're not. You decide.

John Cooper: This is a front row seat to the greatest show on earth.

John Cooper: It seems like it changes nothing. But every once and awhile, you get to take a bad guy off the streets for good. And that, my friend, is God's work.

Ben Sherman: Taking a life is a big deal to me.

Cooper: I doubt that Ritchie Rich. You've got 90210 written all over your face.



Cultural References
Cooper: I doubt that Ritchie Rich. You've got 90210 written all over your face.

Cooper is referencing Richie Rich, a 1994 film about the richest kid in the world.
