Velasquez Quotes in S.W.A.T. (2003)

Velasquez: We have ID'd those suspects.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Great! Who are they?

Velasquez: Former officer Gamble and Officer T.J. McCabe.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: Gamble, as in Street's ex-partner, Gamble?

Velasquez: Roger.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: We have got two SWAT-trained guys leading this attack. How do we know the rest of the team isn't in on it?

Velasquez: Because I can vouch for Hondo.

Capt. Thomas Fuller: You wanna bet 100 million dollars on that?

Velasquez: SWAT stands for Special Weapons And Tactics. Where were your tactics out there?

Velasquez: [Deleted Scene: Hondo's Introduction- Lt. Velasquez says to Officers of SWAT Division] Gentlemen! Our new 70-David has just made his first stealth entry. If you don't know him, you've probably heard of him: Sergeant Dan "Hondo" Harrelson!

[Officers cheer and applaud, with Boxer and McCabe's voices louder than the others]

Velasquez: Here is a man who will outrun, outfight, outshoot

[Hondo raises his eyebrows in disbelief at Velasquez]

Velasquez: , outsmart, out-paperwork, ALL OF YOU.

McCabe: I got 20 bucks says otherwise.

Boxer: I'll cover 10 of it for you.

Velasquez: Now you know gambling's not allowed, and I shouldn't have to tell you that... but I'll cover that 10.

Boxer: Done.

Velasquez: Few words, Sergeant?

Hondo: As a matter of fact...

[Pretends to smack TJ with his book]

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.
