Sgt. Howard Quotes in S.W.A.T. (2003)

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Sometimes doing the right thing isn't doing the right thing.

Sgt. Howard: What the hell is that supposed mean?

Brian Gamble: [getting chewed out by Fuller for his stunt at the bank] That woman is alive because of what we did!

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Yeah, alive and suing the city for millions. The Chief said if he's gonna pay, somebody else does, too, and it sure as hell isn't gonna be me.

Brian Gamble: C'mon Fuller we get...

Capt. Thomas Fuller: [Interrupting] That's *Captain* Fuller.

Brian Gamble: C'mon Captain Fuller, we get two seconds to make a decision! You get two months to sit there and tear it apart!

Velasquez: SWAT means "Special Weapons *And* Tactics". Where were your tactics out there?

Street: Saving a woman from getting shot. That's where are tactics were.

Brian Gamble: Yeah, every cop in this department knows that we did the right thing.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Sometimes, doing the right thing isn't doing the right thing.

Sgt. Howard: What the hell does that mean?

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Sergeant?

[Fuller turns to Street and Gamble]

Capt. Thomas Fuller: You disobeyed a direct order, end of story. You're both off SWAT.

Velasquez: Captain. They're two of our best officers.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Well I'm not sticking them back in the field after a stunt like that.

Brian Gamble: [Becoming angry] Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that saving lives was goddamn stunt!

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Hey, you've got a big mouth, and apparently you're quick on the trigger, and *that* is why your ass is in a sling!

Velasquez: Captain Fuller, if you're really gonna put them off SWAT at least keep them in the division. Give'em a shot at getting back.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: [pause] Fine, stick'em in the gun cage. Get'em out of my sight.
