• Sonny Crockett : Who sent you an invitation?

  Lt. Scott Wheeler : Since when do you need an invite to your own party?

• Detective Gina Calabrese : You can play that beach bum cowboy routine with the football lingo and the beer commercial mentality from now till doomsday, but I don't believe it.

  Sonny Crockett : You know somethin', Gina?

  [pause] 

  Sonny Crockett : You can be a real pain in the butt sometimes... but I like you. I like you a lot.

• Sonny Crockett : I guess you got a job to get back to up there in New York, ey Tubbs?

  Ricardo Tubbs : Get outta here, Crockett. You kiddin'? After the little show I put on down there hits the fan, I'll be lucky to get back on payroll as a meter maid.

• Trini DeSoto : [Crockett and Tubbs are meeting with Trini DeSoto, who is giving them some background about himself]  Hey. ¿Qué tal, huh? You see, most of the Marielito riffraff stuck in detention with me killed the time watching Family Feud, uh, Hollywood Squares, In Search of the Ryan's Hope... All that garbage. Huh?

  Trini DeSoto : [Snaps Fingers]  Not me, man. I figure, dig it, Trini. You could be stuck in this place six months, man, waiting for your papers. Use the time, man. Improve your mind.

  Ricardo Tubbs : You read a lot of books, huh?

  Trini DeSoto : You're missing my point, man. I skip all that network jive. Tune in to the old classics: I Love Lucy, Father Knows Best, Leave It To You, Beaver, Gilligan's Island.

The fact that dude never got an Academy Award says something very deep about the American psyche.

  Sonny Crockett : Oh, really. Well, why have you tossed four dinner invitations in three weeks back at me? And you wouldn't have come along tonight if you hadn't had Trudy along to block tackle.

  Detective Gina Calabrese : My father always told me, Crockett, never to get involved with a man on the rebound. And as far as I'm concerned, you're bouncing so hard, you're practically out of the ballpark.

  Sonny Crockett : What the hell is that supposed to mean?

  Detective Gina Calabrese : You're still in love with Caroline.

  Sonny Crockett : Try again, lady.
