- Quotes
Det. James 'Sonny' Crockett: Uh-uh. No more games. Stand up. Sit. Who do you think you are to ask us to beg for your help?
Eddie: I'm not -
Det. James 'Sonny' Crockett: Shut up! I'm talkin'. You think we don't have better things to do then to teach punks like you about life? Class is over, pal. You committed a felony. Now, either play ball or do the time, startin' right now.
Eddie: Wait. Listen, I want to help, but the lawyer said you're just gonna use me and chump me off!
Det. James 'Sonny' Crockett: Who said that to you?
Eddie: Mr. Sloan.
Starting with a sequence accompanied by ZZ Top's classic "Legs", the first five minutes of this episode are certainly entertaining. Tubbs manages to cover himself with half of Starbucks while on a stake-out at the airport and even Crockett comes a cropper when he tries to catch the two juvenile suspects. Good slapstick fun!
Sadly, the episode fails in the same way as "Little Prince." The two juveniles with big plans to carry out one large drugs deal are not particularly likable and I found it very difficult to sympathise with them. As a result, the episode really failed to hit the mark for me.
An almost unrecognisable Evan ("Sex and the City") Handler plays Louis in this episode. Eric ("Talk Radio") Bogosian also appears.
Despite the weaknesses of this episode, the production values are excellent as always.
7 out of 10.
