Which episode is the one where he says ''You just got to learn to go with the heat Rico. It's just like life. You just gotta keep telling yourself, no matter how hot it gets, sooner or later there's a cool breeze coming in.''

 

I've been wanting to see that one.

That's Definitely Miami, during the heat wave, and Rico replies "Should I write that down?"   :)

Oh yes, and they re-used that quote in the Lebron James commercial with Don Johnson  :)  :)  :)

I always liked "suck eggs, pal!"  I can't remember which episode, I know it was season 3.

 

I really like this YouTube compilation someone made of all the times Sonny said "pal" in season 1...

When Lombard tells Tubbs, who's undercover, "you look a little dark for an Italian." Tubbs says, "I'm from the southern part......Africa."

'Payback'

 

Reydolfo: You know my friend Lou here; he tells me you're not such a big slime like I think you are.

 

Sonny: What does he know?

In Home Invaders, a woman says "what do I look like, a tour guide?"

Crockett's reply... " Just find him...we'll talk about what you look like later" .

 

Always makes me laugh.

I wish they would make a pal compilation for the whole series.  :)

That was in By Hooker by Crook, when C&T were discussing Christine (another of Crockett's love interests)  and Tubbs teased Crockett about a Buddy Holly comment,  indicating how little he knows about her.

"Sonny, man, you don't even know what this chick does for a living."

"She makes mucho dinero."

Hey, pal, you are right... But I had to review episodes because the context I was thinking of was different.  In the following episode, "Knock, Knock... Who's There?", Crockett says, "suck eggs, pal" to that POS IAD Agent Stroh.  That guy was such a jerk!

 

It's weird he used the same line in two consecutive episodes!

 

Here's a clip of the time I was thinking of...

He/she must've realised that it would simply take way too long to do the rest of the series. I'm sure there are thousands of pal's. :)

From Dutch Oven:

 

"You're a regular John Wayne!"  

"I'm a street cop, Gallo. I don't sit on my fat rump all day like you alpha hotels."

 

Love the term Crockett uses to refer to Internal Affairs.

In no order:

- “Yeah, well I am. Hit the lights when you’re through.”

- (his look at Danielle when she says “It’s not raining”)

- ”...I’d be a fifth wheel on your...’spaceship’”

- ”Just what it sounds like, Sir.”

- “Oh, I’m already involved.”

Two of my favorites: 

 

DA Waldman: “And I’m the lawyer. My conscience is clear.” 
Sonny: “No, no you’re a politician. A conscience is optional.”
“Forgive Us Our Debts” 

“Love the table, toots. Maybe next time, you could put us closer to the men’s room.”
Sonny to a waitress in “Payback”

I would like to honorably mention that Zito has some of my favorite answers to Switek also:

”I dunno...dirty money and dirty goats?” - Tale of the Goat

”I dunno...going to jail with everybody else” - The Fix

”I bet you think I wish I’d thought of that.” - Buses
