_{EPISODE GUIDE}

Finkleman's Folly

Blair: Ooh, yeah. This is going to be fun.

Jim: Look, she's just a sub, right?

Blair: Yeah. So what do you want to do? Start throwing spitballs and paper airplanes at her?

Jim: Not a bad idea.

Finkelman: Nice to meet you. Mr. Sandburg, I've heard a lot of good things about you.

Blair: Really? Thanks.

Finkelman: I'm pulling his ride-along authorization. Effective immediately.

Blair: What?

Jim: You talk to Captain Banks and any detective in the department here. Sandburg is an asset, besides, he's got the full cooperation of the division here.

Finkelman: And he's had it for the last two years. Right now, I need you to ride with Taggert.

Jim: And if I say no?

Finkelman: I'll have no problem suspending you.

Jim: I'm sure you won't.

Joel: Look, guys, you know this was not my idea.

Jim: I know, Joel.

Joel: The last thing I want to do is replace Blair.

Blair: We know, Joel.

Joel: It's just not my style, okay?

Jim and Blair: We know, Joel.

Finkelman: Don't change the subject. You barged in on an undercover operation without authorization, and you bring him along to enjoy the show.

Blair: Hey, wait a minute, lady, look, I don't know what your deal is here, but give it a rest!

Jim: Let me handle this, Chief. Blair: No, I'm okay, I'm all right. You know what? This is his personal car. It's his personal time. We're friends. If he invites me along, guess what, lady, I'm going.

Jim: What kind of cop goes into an undercover sting operation without a backup contingency?! Would you answer me that? Not only is it stupid, it is in violation of department policy! I squawk to the brass about this, you're going to be out.

Jim: Things are just a little bit odd around here, huh? How do you lose 6 foot 4, 225-pound man?

Finkelman: I hope you learned something in your last two years with Ellison.

Blair: You have a plan, right?

Finkelman: Yeah. We improvise.

Blair: Oh, that's great.

Blair: You've got some explaining to do, pal. You want to work for Arthur Sabin, you've got to quit screwing around.

Jim: Now listen to me, Bogie. Are you doing okay up there?

Blair: Fine. We'll be right there.

Finkelman: I just got off the phone with headquarters. Since Sabin's been in custody, his dealers have been scrambling for product. Narcotics busted several of them. They got careless.

Simon: Well, congratulations.

Finkelman: Well, thank you. Wouldn't have happened without Ellison. And Sandburg. They're quite a team.

Simon: Don't I know it.

Finkelman: Oh, so it is flowers. All this time, I thought it was me.

Jim: No, it's just captains in general.
