Line Up or Shut Up (2013)
Dylan Walsh: Al Burns
Quotes
-
Al Burns : Jay ran some background on Emminger. Nothing.
Carrie Wells : You know, guys like him make me miss the creeps we had to deal with in Queens.
Al Burns : Really? You miss One-Eyed Danny the drug dealer?
Carrie Wells : I loved One-Eyed Danny the drug dealer.
-
Al Burns : Nice ride, huh?
Jay Lee : "Nice" hardly covers it. This slice of heaven goes from 0 to 120 in eight seconds.
Al Burns : Yeah, I had a Dodge Dart Swinger in high school that was pretty fast.
Jay Lee : A Swinger? With the flower over the "I" logo?
Al Burns : Yeah, that's right. I'd forgotten. Aw, I loved that car.
Jay Lee : Okay, boss, if we're gonna work together on this case, there's something you got to understand: the Ferrari 458 is perhaps the highest achievement of automotive engineering known to man.
Al Burns : I noticed it didn't have, like, a cup holder for the Super Big Chug from Stop & Fill. See, I got to have that in any car I drive.
[Jay shakes his head in dismay]
Al Burns : So, when you're done "examining" the evidence, be nice if we had an ID on our victim.
-
Jay Lee : Our vic's prints aren't in the system, but it turns out the car was involved in a chase last night. Simple traffic stop; ran through the signal, then took off.
Al Burns : So, what, some... rich kid on a joyride?
Jay Lee : Maybe. Uh, DMV confirms our Swiss guy bought it this week. That's why there are no plates; it's still too new. My money, I'd say Emminger's our best lead.
Al Burns : Which is why we're heading to his place in Mamaroneck for a chat. Jay, stay on the dead kid. Sooner or later, someone's gonna miss him, file a missing persons.
Jay Lee : You got it.
[Al turns to leave]
Jay Lee : Come on, a Dodge Swinger? Really?
Al Burns : Yep, really.
-
Carrie Wells : [seeing a fancy sports car] Ooh, your chariot awaits.
Al Burns : Ah. I prefer the subway.
Carrie Wells : Sure you do.
Al Burns : What's that supposed to mean?
Carrie Wells : I don't know. It's just... you've changed your look since we moved out of Queens.
Al Burns : Like what?
Carrie Wells : [giving him a once-over] Well... you're not buying your shoes at Soles4Less anymore.
Al Burns : Come on. One pair of nice shoes?
Carrie Wells : First it's the shoes, then you'll have the Rolex. You're starting to look a little bit like Eliot.
[seeing his look]
Carrie Wells : It's nice. He's snazzy.
-
Stevie McKinnon : I paid those tickets.
Al Burns : No, Steven. We're here to talk about Francisco and Ezequiel Nadal.
Carrie Wells : And the Triple X street racing crew.
Naomi McKinnon : Street racing, Stevie?
Stevie McKinnon : L-Listen, you want my keys, just t-take my keys, okay? But-but you can't prove anything. Ooh.
Al Burns : [he runs away] Oh, you got to be kidding me.
-
Carrie Wells : [chasing a suspect] Let me drive! I ran a 10K here once. I know this neighborhood like the back of my hand.
Al Burns : My car, I drive. You navigate.
Carrie Wells : I love it when you're articulate.
-
Al Burns : I ran a search on all the garages in the area, cross-referenced - that's the term you use, right, Jay? - cross-referenced with criminal violations and found... Juno's on 11th Avenue. Auto body shop registered to Alma Delaney. Convicted in Jersey on a variety of charges, including receiving stolen goods. Recently moved her shop from North Bergen.
Jay Lee : That's, uh, incredible.
Al Burns : Yeah. Carrie and I are headed over there right now.
Jay Lee : Oh, no, I meant it's incredible that, uh, you did all this computer stuff by yourself.
Al Burns : What's the matter, Jay? Afraid you're gonna be obsolete?
Jay Lee : [awkward laugh] Yeah. Yeah, right. Did you help him?
Cherie Rollins-Murray : No.
-
Carrie Wells : What are these scratches here?
Alma Delaney : What are you talking about? What scratches?
Carrie Wells : I got a car with scratches just like these. A Ferrari. It's evidence in a murder investigation. The murder of Ezequiel Nadal.
Alma Delaney : I-I told you, I never seen the kid before. I don't know nothing about no murder.
Al Burns : You know about the Organized Crime Control Act?
Alma Delaney : What's that?
Al Burns : It's the law that makes running a chop shop for stolen car parts illegal.
Carrie Wells : There's also a little thing called obstructing a murder investigation, so unless you want to be making the license plates you're currently removing off of stolen cars, I suggest you take another look at the picture.
-
Jay Lee : So, faux watches, sunglasses, we all know about those, but the world of fake luxury cars is a multimillion-dollar business. Cars shine on the outside, engine parts not so much. Faux-raris, right?
Cherie Rollins-Murray : Buyers know what they're getting?
Jay Lee : Maybe. I'm gonna say most don't. Most folks probably can't tell the difference. I mean, some people think that a Dodge Swinger is a slick ride.
Al Burns : [playfully shoving the back of his head] Okay, so you put down half a mil on one of these, then you find out you've been ripped off. Guys have been shot for less.
Cherie Rollins-Murray : Yeah, but why take it out on the delivery boy? I mean, I'd go after the guy who sold me the car.
-
Eliot Delson : I am not interfering with your investigation.
Carrie Wells : I didn't say "interfering with", I said...
Eliot Delson : I know what you said. The particular word was very evocative.
Al Burns : Eliot, we have a list of people who were ripped off buying phony cars. Our killer is probably on that list.
Eliot Delson : And I simply wanted to review that list, maybe save you guys some time.
Al Burns : Review?
Carrie Wells : I'm feeling the need to use that word again.
-
Eliot Delson : People who spend half a million dollars on cars tend to be rich. And rich people are friends with, one, other rich people, and two, elected officials, some of whom can occasionally be useful to us.
Al Burns : I knew you had other agendas, but you *are* another agenda.
-
Carrie Wells : [after informing Emminger his cars are fakes] You know, he seemed genuinely surprised.
Al Burns : I thought so, too.
Carrie Wells : Hmm. By the way, you were very discreet. Nice discretion.
Al Burns : You were pretty good. Couldn't help yourself with the bribery line.
-
Al Burns : Lukas Emminger, you're under arrest for the murder of Ezequiel Nadal. You have the right to remain silent.
Lukas Emminger : Don't bother. Perhaps you've never heard of diplomatic immunity.
-
Eliot Delson : Good job today.
Carrie Wells : All for nothing, though, right?
Al Burns : Does that creep really get immunity?
Carrie Wells : Oh, make your friends at City Hall happy; no diplomatic scandal.
Eliot Delson : Funny thing about that. Did you know diplomatic immunity is a privilege that can be waived by the visiting ambassador? Well, after a lovely talk with me, turns out the Swiss see the value in having a friend in Major Crimes. A point I believe I was trying to make with you earlier. Immunity's waived. Emminger stands trial for murder.
-
Jay Lee : You didn't really have a Dodge Swinger in high school, right?
Al Burns : Sure. Why not?
Jay Lee : I don't know, just... not how I imagined you, I guess.
Al Burns : Well, people will surprise you.
[Jay moves to leave]
Al Burns : Jay. I had a '65 Shelby Mustang. 428 under the hood, with a top-loading four-speed and a Traction-Lok rear end I built myself. Ran it into a tree night of my senior prom.
Jay Lee : Still... that's more like it.
-
Carrie Wells : Hello.
Al Burns : Hey. You want to take it for a spin before they haul it away?
Carrie Wells : No, no, no. Not my style. Besides, I think the Italians made a big mistake with the Ferrari.
Al Burns : Is that right?
Carrie Wells : No backseat.
Al Burns : I don't think that's important...
Carrie Wells : August 14, 2000, south shore, Lake Onondaga. You were driving a 19...
Al Burns : 1996 Chevy Impala SS. Very usable backseat.
Carrie Wells : Very usable.
-
Carrie Wells : Listen, about those shiny, shiny shoes of yours. I like them.
Al Burns : Forget it.
Carrie Wells : I...
Al Burns : I gave them to the Salvation Army.
Carrie Wells : Al, why?
Al Burns : That's okay. They were Gucci knockoffs, anyway.
