## Season 1
### Hard Contract [1.02]

    Dee Dee McCall: [pursuing speeding car] C'mon, c'mon, you're losing him!
    Rick Hunter: I'm already up to warp speed as it is, what do you want me to do?
    Dee Dee McCall: I thought for sure I'd get a line on Gus out of the Irish Rose.
    Rick Hunter: Aw, you'll think of something. You've spent a lot of time with this guy. After all, you were partners for years.
    Dee Dee McCall: We were more than partners. We were a real team, Hunter. I was fresh out of the academy. Gus taught me so much. Showed me the streets. We made a pact. We were gonna do it together. Together, we were gonna make a difference. [thoughtful pause] Looking back, I guess we never really did think alike. After the shooting review board washed Gus out, I never wanted another partner. I never wanted to get that close to anybody I worked with again.
    Gus Trancus: She thinks you're gonna talk to me, man-to-man, maybe?
    Rick Hunter: Nah, I'm gonna talk to you cop to creep. That lady out there gives a damn about you. Why is beyond me. But she's just trying to flag you off the track to keep you from hittin' the wall.
    Rick Hunter: She didn't send me in here, Trancus. I'm not here to save you. I'm here to let you know this is a hard contract. You're gonna feel my breath right down your neck. When you look down, my shadow's gonna be blocking out yours. And when you stop to look back, I'm gonna steamroll right over the top of you. All that's gonna be left is something for the dogs to lap up.
    Gus Trancus: You don't breathe heavy on me and I fold. Keep comin'. I'm waiting. Gus Trancus has taken all he's gonna take. I'm gonna go down hard.
    Rick Hunter: Works for me.
    Rick Hunter: So you're a real hero now, huh, Bernie?
    Sgt. Bernie Terwilliger: I'm a hero on the way to public relations.
    Rick Hunter: Be careful. Don't choke on any martini olives.
    Sgt. Bernie Terwilliger: I'm gonna be so glad to get out of this crazy shoot-'em-up division, even though I am one of the top shooters. I have spent enough time in this war zone.

### The Hot Grounder [1.03]

    Rick Hunter: Who's shooting at whom?
    Dee Dee McCall: I think it's a free for all.
    Rick Hunter: Works for me.
    Det. Ortega: Those two guys are weird!
    Smitty: No. It's just the Head Hunter and the Brass Cupcake, and they make their own kinda music.

### Legacy [1.05]

    Chris the Bartender: Well, a pretty young thing like yourself, dressed to kill, in a place like this? I'd say you were looking for a man.
    Dee Dee McCall: Wrong. I'm looking for a woman.
    Chris the Bartender: That bar's down the block.
    Tibbet: Boy, it's gonna be a pleasure to open up a slime like this and see what makes him tick.
    Rick Hunter: When I was a kid, John Vincent would to put me on his knee and give me Christmas presents.
    Tibbet: While his boys were out slaughtering reindeer.
