L.A. Noire is a PS3 and Xbox 360 game developed by Team Bondi, set in 1940s Los Angeles. The game revolves around the journey of an L.A.P.D. detective named Cole Phelps, as he rises the ranks of his job and descends into the underworld of the City of Angels. But as the story progresses, it is revealed that Phelps might be trying to atone for his actions during World War II, actions that may come back to haunt him.

[edit] Cole Phelps
- (Last words) Goodbye.
- I'm no war hero, I can assure you of that.
- It never gets any easier, Bekowski.
- (To Elsa Lichtmann) Sometimes surviving isn't enough, Elsa...sometimes you just have to...try and make the world a better place.
- Friends who want to stay friends don't discuss religion or politics. In my case you can add the war to that.
- (To himself while examining a dead body) They're never the same, are they?
- Spill it, or we take you into the back-alley and knock it out of you!
- (To a 23-year old jazz-singer who died of a morphine overdose.) They say only the good die young. I hope it was true in your case.
[edit] Roy Earle
- Everybody wants a license to get a little dirty, our job is to keep it manageable.
- (To a Latino character) Save it for the D.A., Chico.
- I hate seeing how things are made. This is just like that time I went to a slaughterhouse and couldn't eat steak for a week.
- Oh, god, this is turning into a nightmare school field trip flashback.
- You're loving this, aren't you, Phelps?
- I'm glad to be out of that place. I never knew fresh vegetables could smell so bad.
- Fuck you! That English prick is getting away with my money, Phelps!
- That was a tax-paying citizen you just bounced off the fucking hood, Phelps!
- Everyone has their vices... even you, Phelps.
- Every politician in America is against prostitution except when they're using them.
- Alright, let's just get this over with before I actually have to work overtime.
- From a little acorn does a large tree grow.
- (Directed to Cole Phelps) Don't do anything I wouldn't do, partner.
- (Directed to a drug dealer) Sit tight, asshole. Pretend you're at the parlor getting your nails done.
[edit] Herschel Biggs
- You know, sometimes I wish I had a nightstick. There's more religion in the end of a nightstick than a thousand cathedrals.
- Don't worry, his name may be dogshit, but there's none on his hands.
- Feeling down, hotshot? Need a buddy? Well look somewhere else.
- (After seeing a burned body crumple in front of him) "EVIDENCE!" (He runs out of the room.)
[edit] Jack Kelso
- A little thing you learn in the war boys, you do your talking when the smoke clears!
- Courage isn't just a tap you can turn on and off whenever you want it to. Courage isn't a permanence. Courage is a tenuous and fickle thing. Courage and cowardice exist in every man, get over it.
[edit] Dialogue
- Cole: [after Biggs bumped into his shoulder] What's his problem?
- Police Officer: That's Biggs. He's an institution.
- Cole: We're about to visit Elysian Fields Development.
- McKelty: You're about to do what? Leland Monroe, he's a personal friend of the Mayor and the Chief. Are you out of your mind? I'm warning you, Phelps.
- Earle: Buy me a drink, Cole?
- Cole: No!
- Earle: Not even for old times' sake?
- Cole: Not even for that.
- Biggs: You were never his friend, Jack.
- Jack: I guess you're right. Herschel?
- Biggs: Yeah, Jack?
- Jack: I was never his enemy.
- Biggs: I think he knew that, Jack.
- Earle: What's with that get-up of yours? I should start introducing us as 'Detective Earle and this is my science teacher, Mr. Phelps.'
- Phelps: Your interest in my appearance is starting to get me worrying.
- Earle: Like it or not, we're a dysfunctional couple now, and people judge me with you on my arm the same way they would a fat broad with a case of five o'clock shadow.
- Phelps: I really hope you're joking, Roy.
