Agent K: Boris the Animal. I put him away a long time ago. It's the worst mistake I ever made.

 

Agent J: Why? Was he innocent?

 

Agent K: Should have killed him.

 

Agent J: Well, shit, let's go get him.

 

Agent K: No.

 

Agent J: No.

 

Agent K: Leave it alone. It's above your pay grade.

 

Agent J: We are partners. We have the same pay grade.

 

Agent K: It has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business.

 

Agent J: Okay, first of all, let's get a little bit of that bass¹ out your voice. Secondly², as long as Spikey Boy is running around the town, this is my business.

 

Agent K: You forget about Boris or my report will reflect that your conduct has been unbecoming.

 

Agent J: Well, maybe my report is gonna reflect some shit too, K.

 

Agent K: You are suspended for two weeks.

 

Agent J: Bullshit.

 

Agent K: Four weeks.

 

Agent J: How about I quit?

 

Agent K: There are things out there you don't need to know.

 

Agent J: That's not the lie you told me when you recruited me.
