High Crimes (2010)

Michael Paul Chan: Mike Tao

Quotes 

• Fritz Howard : Why can't you let the undercover detectives handle this?

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : Because I want these guys alive and SIS shoots first and asks questions never. And I'll be sittin' in a surveillance van the whole time, anyhow.

  Fritz Howard : And the surveillance van's gonna be parked three blocks away.

  [Brenda nods] 

  Fritz Howard : [insistently]  Eh, and the surveillance van is going to be parked...

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : Oh, for Heaven's sakes, the surveillance van will be parked three blocks away.

  Fritz Howard : Thank you.

  [hands Brenda her glass of champagne] 

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : Thank you.

  [on stakeout the next day] 

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : [sighs]  Can we move the van a little closer?

  Mike Tao : Not without going inside.

• Greg Lapham : Uh, don't treat me like an idiot. Worked on a law show for two years.

  Mike Tao : Well, it must not have been a very good one.

• Mike Tao : See, Provenza? A lot of 'em aren't hippies!

  Louie Provenza : Yeah, well, I promise you, Tao, in every one of their closets, somewhere, there's a tie-dyed shirt.
