Quotes:

Nicholas Garrigan: Why are you doing this?::Djonjo: Frankly, I don't know. You deserve to die. But dead, you can do nothing. Alive, you might just be able to redeem yourself.::Nicholas Garrigan: I don't understand.::Djonjo: I am tired of hatred, Doctor Garrigan. This country is drowning in it. We deserve better... Go home. Tell the world the truth about Amin. They will believe you; you are a white man.

Nicholas Garrigan: I didn't want him to die though.::Idi Amin: But you did it. Why? You want to know why?::Nicholas Garrigan: Yes.::Idi Amin: You did it because you love me.

Idi Amin: What you need, is to have some fun.

Idi Amin: You dare try to poison me? After everything I gave you? I am Idi Amin! President-for-life and ruler of Uganda. I am the father of Africa.::Nicholas Garrigan: You're a child. You have the mind and ego of an angry, spoiled, uneducated child. And that's what makes you so fucking scary.

Kay Amin: You must find a way to get out.

Idi Amin: I want you to tell me what to do.::Nicholas Garrigan: You want ME to tell YOU what to do?::Idi Amin: Yes, you are my advisor. You are the only one I can trust in here. You should have told me not to throw the Asians out, in the first place.::Nicholas Garrigan: I DID!::Idi Amin: But you did not persuade me, Nicholas. You did not persuade me!

Idi Amin: [to crowd at rally] I know who you are and what you are. I am you!

Idi Amin: You see. You are a doctor and a philosopher. Yes, I do have a good life now. Please, please. Sit here. I come from a very poor family, I think you should know this. My father left me when I was a child. The British Army; became my home. They took me as a cleaner, in the kitchens, cleaning pots. They used to beat me. [imitating British] "Beat this wall, Amin." "Dig the latreen, Amin." And now, here I am. The President of Uganda. And who put me here, huh? It was the British.

Idi Amin: Before I forget, I need to ask you a favor.::Nicholas Garrigan: Anything.::Idi Amin: I will be in Libya next week, and I need you to attend a meeting in my place.::Nicholas Garrigan: What kind of meeting?::Idi Amin: A simple matter of taste and common sense. I cannot think of anyone better than you.

Idi Amin: They take you to a tree and hang you by your skin. Each time you scream the evil comes out of you. Sometimes, it can take three days for your evil to be spent. Pull him up.

Quotes:

Frank: It's true what they say: Cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure, it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside.

Jane: I've heard police work is dangerous.::Frank: It is. That's why I carry a big gun.::Jane: Aren't you afraid it might go off accidentally?::Frank: I used to have that problem.::Jane: What did you do about it?::Frank: I just think about baseball.

Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.::Jane: Goodyear?::Frank: No, the worst.

Frank: Just think; next time I shoot someone, I could be arrested.

Frank: It's fourth and fifteen and you're looking at a full-court press.

Mayor: Drebin, I don't want anymore trouble like you had last year on the South Side. Understand? That's my policy.::Frank: Yes. Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's *my* policy.::Mayor: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of "Julius Caesar", you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones.

Frank: I'm telling ya, the answer's up there in Ludwig's office. Call it what you will. A hunch, woman's intuition. That guy Ludwig knows a lot more than he's telling us.::Ed: A hunch won't stand up in court, Frank. Where are your hard facts?::Frank: Look. He's the only one outside of ourselves who knew that Nordberg was still alive. Next thing we know, some thug tries to knock Nordberg off in the hospital.::Ed: That may be, but breaking into Ludwig's office, you're takin' a big chance.::Frank: I know. You take a chance getting up in the morning, crossing the street, or sticking your face in a fan.

Frank: Jane, since I've met you, I've noticed things that I never knew were there before... birds singing, dew glistening on a newly formed leaf, stoplights.

Frank: Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he's behind bars. Now, let's grab a bite to eat.

Frank: Interesting... almost as interesting as the photographs I saw today.::Jane: I was young! I needed the work!

  Idi Amin
  Down I Go

  Why can he not return?
  (Glorious President!)
  To end where he began?
  (His excellency!)
  Grant him this final wish.
  (Field Marshall, AlHaji Doctor)
  To return from exile.
  (Our decorated hero!)
  Here's why not:
  Torture selected by racial hatred.
  Furthermore:
  The volume of bodies clogged the Owen Falls
  Hydroelectric Dam.
  Major medals self awarded.
  Overthrew Aboti.
  Dismembered unfaithful wife.
  One of many.
  This is brutal, irrational, erratic, inept, ridiculous,
  militaristic. In the words of Thomas Patrick Malady:
