Quotes
"Being short-tempered really does run in his family. I hope he doesn't have kids."

- Referring to Richie Terrik. Terrik had just put a chokehold on a suspect.

"Tev, if anyone wants me, I'll be at a pizza place somewhere in Brooklyn."

- Taking a two or three hour lunch.

"Rivers, it has occured to me that you and your men have worked nonstop for four days. I'm putting you and your men to rest. I don't want to see you or anyone in 501st armor here for the next three days."

- Reigning in the 501st after they went on a ticketing and towing blitz.

"That annoying Imperial General and the Jedi Master are back."

- Announcing himself and Bryan Khayman to a suspect.

"New guy, Miguel Chavez. According to what Dave told me, I'm getting the best guy he can give me. But, I heard it takes time for him to adjust to new faces and settings. Dave told me that he worked constantly, took work home with him, and never got along with anyone really. Dave's sending him here because LAPD keeps harrassing him over nothing. He's been referred to as a "closer" because he makes an arrest out of 95% of his cases with an 88% conviction rate. I'm going to have him work with Tyler when he gets here since Kelly's going to be training Jess in the lab and I will not put an ex-con with a guy who's old man is on the War Criminal List."

- Telling Tevin, Richie and Tyler about Miguel.

"Davin we're still waiting for those new squad cars that were ordered and the suggestion was made from upstairs that we could use a couple of turbolasers on the roof to deter wandering aircraft. Colonel Markem spent the last week or so looking for them, but didn't find them. No, I don't even have the VINs on them here. No, I wasn't aware that a city councilman's car was towed off of Jamaica Avenue. Rivers and his men don't discriminate in ticketing and towing along that street. You want to put a girl in the 501st? She'd be in charge of a second shift? Shouldn't ITC be doing parking and traffic enforcement? You know how Rivers can be with changes, I mean I sent him and his men home after they towed just about every illegaly parked vehicle on Jamaica Avenue and some other councilman whined to ITC about it. You'll look into the missing cars. Dummy turbolasers? They won't be loaded, just there for the purpose of being there. I imagine Mayor Bloomberg wouldn't be happy if they were loaded and one was fired at City Hall or something. I'll be kept up to date about Ms. 501."

- On the phone with Davin Felth.

"I'm from Brooklyn, we're all rude. Ever watch Judge Judy? She's rude to ignorant pricks like you. If I was to have a rudeness contest my wife would tie with Judy for rudest person."

- After being called rude by a woman who he was insulting.

"RAD!...."

- Summoning his clerk who is usually standing right behind him and responds to him mid-sentence.

"Have this man court-martialed, shot, and sent to /."

- Quoting the Germans from. He originally used Iraq in place of the, but changed it to Afghanistan after the pullout of US Forces from Iraq.

"Get that hairy drumstick out of my face or I'll see to it that both it and you are court-martialed, shot, plucked, and sent to the Russian Front."

- After Klinger modeled a new garter belt in front of him and Tevin.

Dialogue

 * Tevin and Joe arrive at a crime scene. Joe is eating a slice of pizza.
 * Tevin: Did anyone take pictures of my evidence before moving it?
 * Tech: (points at Joe eating) You guys always operate like this?
 * Joe: I take it you haven't seen how my mother runs the morgue?
 * Tevin: It runs in his family to eat when and where you're not supposed to eat.
 * Joe: (eating) I'm not dropping grease on evidence.


 * Joe tries to hold a staff meeting, Richie is annoying Miguel.
 * Joe: Colonel Terrik, I'd like to get through this meeting as quickly as possible.
 * Richie: Does it look like I care about the vehicle plumbing problem on Jamaica Avenue?
 * Tevin: There are those of us who do. Like me.
 * Joe: Are you done? As I was saying, ITC says the turnaround time for an impound from Jamaica Avenue is one week.
 * Miguel: Richie, stop kicking my chair.
 * Tyler: Don't blame me when he turns around and decks you.
 * Joe: Erik said it stung for a week when Miguel hit him. Now, back to business.
 * Miguel: (walks out) Send me a transcript or fill me in later.
 * Richie: I didn't do anything to him.
 * Joe: I saw your hand on his head.
 * Richie: That could have been Ty's hand.
 * Tyler: He's used to me messing with him. You're just being annoying.
 * Tevin: I have a witness to interview.
 * Joe: Take Miguel, these two need to work out their differences.

 * Jessie: What do you want?
 * Joe: I just came to visit. Besides, I run this place.
 * Kelly: You know she likes to bust your chops. I do it to Tev all the time.
 * Joe: I'm just bored today. When I sent Rivers and the 501st home, I didn't realize how busy they actually keep me.
 * Jessie: He's up til midnight doing paperwork when they're out working.
 * Joe: Now, I just go home and sleep if she doesn't leave the kids with me.
 * Jessie: You fall asleep playing with the kids. You fell asleep in your office once.

 * Joe is debriefed after the Battle of Morris Park by B.J., Davin, and Ryan.
 * Joe: Martinez said they were watching TV when the attack began. At 8:58, she called Markem and told him that the apartment was on fire and Chavez was hurt but attempting to return fire. At 9:03, Markem relayed the message to me that Chavez was under attack. At 9:07, I found out Markem was en route to Chavez's residence and dispatched the 501st to back him up. At 9:10, NYPD reported a 10-13 at Chavez's residence, officers under heavy fire. At 9:15, NYPD reported that the attackers were gang members and were heavily armed with s and machine guns. I ordered the 442nd and 357th placed on standby for deployment. At 9:25, Captain Rivers and his troops arrived and began exchanging fire with the gang members. Markem arrived at 9:28 and assumed command of the scene. At 9:35, Markem, Rivers, and Sergeant Mackey entered the building to evacuate the tenants and remove Martinez and Chavez from the building. At 9:40, Markem reported that Chavez was unconscious and would need to be removed ASAP. I ordered the 442nd deployed to the scene. At 10:15, I was informed that several other squads had arrived and that Chavez was clinging to life and Martinez had been shot in the arm as well. The 357th was deployed at 10:19. At 11:04, Markem gave the all clear to FDNY and told me that as far as he knew the only loss on our side might be Chavez. I arrived the next morning with Major Walertin and found Markem at Jacoby Hospital waiting for word on Chavez's condition. Markem appeared to be very distraught over what had happened. We returned to the scene of the battle where a single shot was heard and damages assessed.
 * B.J.: The Bronx M.E. told me that a gang member had been shot in the head at a close range.
 * Joe: Walertin told me that Markem had fired a single shot into a dead body and then left the scene before returning with information that several of the deceased worked at the same auto body shop. I had Markem, Walertin, and the 501 pay the shop a visit. Rivers told me that Markem had blasted his way into the shop claiming it was a weapons storehouse. I had assumed that it was actually a chop shop to begin with. Martinez told Jessie that she had seen Cardona giving money to the Bronx D.A. for something. I assume now that it was a bribe for keeping the police out of his business.
 * Davin: B.J., I want the Bronx D.A. arrested for bribe receiving and criminal facilitation for now. Ryan, have Cardona's bail revoked and get him remanded. Then tell Colonel Korek, he goes straight to the hole. Joe, I want Markem to see the shrink before he goes back to work. I know how close you people are, I don't like breaking you folks up because of that and it's one of the few things that work in this Empire without being reminded of what Vader did to motivate people.
 * Ryan: I'm gonna need Martinez and Tyler for the Grand Jury and we should put Stormtroopers on Miguel's hospital room. What are the final counts from the battle?
 * Joe: Building destroyed, Chavez maybe in a coma, three cars were destroyed, and I'm waiting for the Bronx M.E. to finish their count of the dead. I'll have my mom nudge them along.
 * Davin: I'll send a couple of trucks and move the dead to Manhattan. I have to go brief the Mayor and the Police Commissioner on what happened.
 * B.J.: Tyler should be at the hospital right now. He's got friends behind bars still, if Cardona turns up dead I'm not going to arrest Tyler or make anyone else arrest him.
 * Davin: I'm not asking you to. As per Rommel after hearing about the battle, The Empire has declared war on the Latin Kings. Pass the word to Kyp Durron that Ashley needs get off his rear end or I'll send Markem to Texas.
