Captain Logan Quotes in Running Scared (1986)

Captain Logan: You are the detectives. Go and detect.

Captain Logan: [to Ray and Danny] Hey! That jumper yesterday? Just got a flash from the coroner on the cause of death!

Danny Costanzo: Oooh, let me guess. Deceleration trauma.

Ray Hughes: Cement poisoning.

Captain Logan: He drowned.

Danny Costanzo: Oh, poor guy couldn't swim or fly, huh?

Captain Logan: You had to be rescued like a couple of rookies. Maybe you need a rest.

Ray Hughes: We don't need a rest.

Captain Logan: Well, I need a rest from you. I'm approving your request for vacation.

Danny Costanzo: No! We got too much goin' on!

Captain Logan: [chuckles] You know, it's a very bad sign when a cop thinks that Chicago will fall apart without him. You're on vacation, effective now.

Ray Hughes: We're not goin'!

Captain Logan: Let me tell you something. If I find you in the city, I'm gonna have you arrested. If you step one foot in this station house, I'm gonna have you shot.

Captain Logan: You two may be quitting too late instead of too early. I have seen it before: short timers' disease. You're already looking forward to the good times. You're getting careful, aren't you?

Ray Hughes: We are not!

Danny Costanzo: What's wrong with being careful?

Captain Logan: Careful gets you killed in this line of work. You think about getting shot and you get shot.

Captain Logan: I hear you two watched 'em mop up the pancake today.

Danny Costanzo: Hi, Captain.

Captain Logan: You two weren't, uh, interrogating a suspect up on the roof, were you?

Ray Hughes: We got an alibi, Captain. Snake, tell him where we were or we'll kill you, too.

Captain Logan: You're gonna what?

Danny Costanzo: Quit. Leave. Depart. Vamoose. Amscray.

Ray Hughes: Retire! This is our official 30 day notice.

Captain Logan: Let me tell you something. When you've been cops this long, you are not fit for anything else. What are you gonna do, open a bar?

Ray Hughes: [gives Danny a sidelong glance] We're looking for some new career challenges.

Danny Costanzo: Yeah, something with a future.

Captain Logan: Show me another career they let you shoot people.

Captain Logan: Your pal Gonzales is back on the street.

Danny Costanzo: What?

Captain Logan: He made bail. And if he gets the right lawyer, he probably is gonna go free. Right now, he's a private citizen, just like you two wanna be.

Ray Hughes: Private citizen? The man shot Snake in front of four police officers!

Captain Logan: You witnessed him pull the trigger?

Captain Logan: [Captain Logan sees Bill and Ted pushing Billy the Kid out of the prison block window] Ted, what in the hell do you think you're doing?

Ted: Trash can... remember a trash can!

Captain Logan: Trash can? What are you talking about...

[a trash can with "Wyld Stallyans Rule" written on the side lands on Captain Logan's head]

Captain Logan: [Being possessed by Dead Ted] Whoa. Okay, dudes... Oh, I mean, fellow policemen. My son, Ted "Theodore" Logan, and his friend Bill S. Preston, Esquire, have been murdered and replaced by evil robots from the future.

Dead Bill: You totally did it dude.

Captain Logan: [as Dead Ted] I totally possessed my dad!

[both Bill and Captain Logan do air guitar]

Captain Logan: [as Dead Ted] Okay. You gotta go over and arrest these robots so they don't ruin everything for me and Bill. Oh, I mean, uh, my son and Bill. And most importantly, they don't hurt the babes... The princesses.

[to himself as Dead Ted]

Captain Logan: This isn't working.

[to Dead Bill]

Captain Logan: Back me up dude!

Dead Bill: You got it dude!

[Possesses Deputy James]

Deputy James: [Being possessed by Dead Bill] I totally believe you dude.

Captain Logan: [as Dead Ted] Yeah!

[Gives Deputy James a high five]

Deputy James: [as Dead Bill] Whoa, donuts!

Captain Logan: [as Dead Ted] Whoa, excellent!

Deputy James: [as Dead Bill] Savory cruller.

Captain Logan: [as Ted] Yeah. I got real hungry being dead.

Deputy James: [as Bill] Yeah.

[the cops look at them weird]

Captain Logan: [as Ted] Bill, I don't think they believe us.

Deputy James: [as Bill] Well, we'll have to find somebody who will.

Captain Logan, Deputy James: [still possessed] Catch ya later, cop dudes!
