Dialogue

Taggart: Why didn't you identify yourself as a police officer when you were arrested?

Axel: Because I was minding my own business. Hey, where the fuck do you guys get off on arresting somebody for getting thrown out of a window?

Taggart: We have six witnesses that say you broke in and started tearing up the place, then jumped out the window!

Axel: And do you guys believe that? What the fuck are you, cops or doormen?

Taggart: We're more likely to believe an important local businessman than a foul-mouthed jerk from out of town.

Axel: Foul-mouthed?

[Taggart nods]

Axel: Fuck you, man.

Rosewood: [Taggart stands up and draws himself to full height] Hey, Sarge...

Taggart: You watch your mouth.

Axel: [standing] Hey, man. Don't square off on me with some bullshit.

[shoves Taggart]

Axel: You want to start some static?

Taggart: Hey, don't push me!

Axel: [shoves Taggart again] Fuck you, man!

[Taggart delivers hard blow to Axel's stomach... Axel doubles over in pain]

Bogomil: [witnessing from his office] Taggart!

Taggart: Yes, sir.

Bogomil: Come here.

[Taggart enters Bogomil's office, both emerge a minute later]

Taggart: I apologize for striking you. I have no excuse.

Axel: [bemused] Forget about it.
