Detective Rosewood, Sergeant Taggart: Yes, he can.

[Detectives Foster and McCabe nod in agreement]

Sergeant Taggart: Why didn't you identify yourself as a police officer when you were arrested?

Axel Foley: 'Cause I was mindin' my own business. Hey, where the fuck do you guys get off on arresting somebody for getting thrown out of a window?

Sergeant Taggart: We have six witnesses that say you broke in and started tearing up the place, then jumped out the window!

Axel Foley: And you guys believe that? What the fuck are you, cops or doormen?

Sergeant Taggart: We're more likely to believe an important local businessman than a foul-mouthed jerk from out of town.

Axel Foley: Foul-mouthed?

[Taggart nods]

Axel Foley: Fuck you, man.

Detective Rosewood: [Taggart stands up and draws himself to full height] Hey, Sarge...

Sergeant Taggart: You watch your mouth.

Axel Foley: [standing] Hey, man, don't square off on me with some bullshit.

Lieutenant Bogomil: In Beverly Hills, we go strictly by the book. Now, why didn't you inform us when you came into town?

Axel Foley: I'm on vacation.

Lieutenant Bogomil: If you're on vacation, what business did you going into Victor Maitland's office?

Axel Foley: Had to go to the bathroom. I was walking by. It looked like a nice clean place, so I stopped.

Lieutenant Bogomil: Do you always take your gun on vacation?

Axel Foley: No, well, I never been on vacation before, but, in Detroit, cops are required to carry a gun at all times.

Lieutenant Bogomil: Well, if you want to carry a gun, I suggest you go back there.

Axel Foley: Well, I can't wait to go back there.

Lieutenant Bogomil: Is that so? I just got off the phone with Inspector Todd in Detroit. Does that name ring a bell?

Axel Foley: [regretfully acknowledges] He's my boss.

Lieutenant Bogomil: [sternly] He tells me you may not be very welcomed back there. He also told me you're an outstanding young detective. I find that very hard to believe.

Axel Foley: But it's true though.

Lieutenant Bogomil: [sternly] He also says he nearly had to fire you for insubordination. I find that very easy to believe. Now, what are you doing in Beverly Hills?

Axel Foley: [calm & carefully backing up his story] I told you I'm on vacation. I went to the bathroom and next thing I know six guys throw out of a window.

Lieutenant Bogomil: Inspector Todd gave me a message for you. Want to hear it?

Axel Foley: [concerned] I don't think so.

Lieutenant Bogomil: He says if you're out here investigating the Tandino murder, you don't even need to bother coming back. He tells me if we inform you are working on this case, he'll have you brought up on charges and fired. Now last time, what are you doing in Beverly Hills?

Axel Foley: [Frustrated] . I told you I'm on...

Lieutenant Bogomil, Axel Foley: [frustrated with one another] VACATION!
