Quotes 

• Mayor Hostetler : You know, women call men dogs. That's to suggest we're somehow untrustworthy or disloyal. But a dog is anything but. And if men are dogs, what the goddamn hell does that make women? You've ever seen a bitch in heat? She will grind herself across the grass to try and get her that itch. And she can find a way to sneak out of the backyard, as any dog will do.

• Mayor Hostetler : There are some wars you fight and some wars you walk away from. This isn't the fighting kind.

• Carl Fairbanks : Nicholas Hostetler, you're under arrest for the murder of Paul Andrews. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

  Mayor Hostetler : Anything I say will be used against you, Carl.

  Carl Fairbanks : You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided to you.

  Mayor Hostetler : Attorneys? They'll be pulling your dental records by the time I'm done with you.

  Carl Fairbanks : Do you understand these rights as I have described them to you?

  Mayor Hostetler : I understand you're suicidal. You may have forgotten how you got your job, but I have not. Do you really think a jury of my peers in New York City will convict me?

  Carl Fairbanks : I'm just the handcuffs guy.

• Cathleen Hostetler : Did you read the "Times" this morning?

  Mayor Hostetler : No, I did not. I read the "Post", like the rest of New York.

  Cathleen Hostetler : Interesting editorial.

  Mayor Hostetler : That rag is a glorified tabloid for rich people.
