Owen: Your Honor, the defendants wish to change their plea.

[Crowd is stunned. Judge McCormick bangs his gavel]

Judge McCormick: Order! Very well, Counselor. What is the plea?

Ray Tango: Your Honor, may I approach the bench, please?

Judge McCormick: Proceed, Mr. Tango.

Ray Tango: [Gets up, looks at Owen] It's okay.

[Tango approaches the bench]

Ray Tango: Your Honor, I have been a policeman for 12 years, and I think it's the best organization in the country. At times, I've been accused of being too aggressive at taking criminals off the streets. Well, if that's a sin, then I guess I'm guilty. All the cops I've worked with are good cops. They are... doing a tough job. And I only hope that the outcome of this trial is such, that the whole department is not judged by what has transpired here. Thank you.

[Tango returns to his seat]

Judge McCormick: Do you have anything to add, Mr. Cash?

Gabriel Cash: [Nods] Yeah.

Ray Tango: [Grabs Cash's arm] No!

Gabriel Cash: Yeah.

Ray Tango: No-no.

Gabriel Cash: Yeah.

Ray Tango: No.

[Crowd applauses]

Judge McCormick: Order! Order!

Gabriel Cash: When this is over, remind me to rip Jumbo there's tongue out.

Ray Tango: With a tow truck.

Gabriel Cash: This has got to be a mistake. What do you think?

Ray Tango: I think my underwear is riding into my throat.

Ray Tango: I think that with your IQ, you're unarmed and still VERY dangerous.

Yves Perret: Ah, the infamous Cash and Tango. Dishonored. Imprisoned. Such a shameful fall from glory.

Ray Tango: And who are you?

Yves Perret: Just think of me as somebody who doesn't like you very much.

Ray Tango: Pleasure doing time with ya.

Gabriel Cash: Yeah, I'll never forget that time in the shower.

[walking to the showers in prison naked]

Gabriel Cash: Nice to see your underwear problem is solved.

Ray Tango: I noticed. And Cash? You can stop holding your stomach.

[Requin is holding Cash at gunpoint, when Tango appears behind him]

Ray Tango: There's a party up on the roof.

Gabriel Cash: Can I invite Mr. Potato Head here?

Ray Tango: Sure! Wouldn't be a party without Potato Head.

Ray Tango: Your Honor, I have been a policeman for 12 years and I think it's the best organization in the country. At times I've been accused of being too aggressive at taking criminals off the street. Well, if that's a sin, I guess I'm guilty. All the cops I've worked with are good cops.

[to fellow officers]

Ray Tango: You are. Doing a tough job. And I only hope that the outcome of this trial is such that the whole department is not judged by what has transpired here. Thank you.

Face: Oh, fuck you.

Ray Tango: I prefer blondes.

[Conan spits on Tango's shoes]

Ray Tango: [tossing cuffs onto the ground] Do the honors.

[dangling Requin off a roof by his legs]

Gabriel Cash: Come on, you meat puppet! Who pulls your strings?

Requin: Piss off! Bollocks to Plan A! I like this! The view's great up here! Heh, heh!

Gabriel Cash: What'd he say?

Ray Tango: Plan "A"'s a loser.

Gabriel Cash: Hold on. Give me a name, Death-Breath, or you're going back to fucking England in a fucking baggie!

Gabriel Cash: You'll see.

Face: Real bad ass cops. You don't look so tough now, do you? DO YOU, YOU FUCK?

Ray Tango: [to Cash] He must mean you.

Face: Out on the streets, this pig and his cop friends, broke my ribs, my leg and my jaw.

[tsks at Tango]

Gabriel Cash: You broke that jaw?

Ray Tango: He deserved it.

Slinky: I'm not afraid of you. See that? I killed him.

Ray Tango: Congratulations.

Slinky: He was my best friend.

[Ray Tango looks up bewildered]

Slinky: Crazy people aren't afraid of anybody.

Gabriel Cash: We're gonna get FUBAR now.

Ray Tango: What the hell is FUBAR?

Gabriel Cash: You'll see.
