Hondo : 10-David, this is 70-David.
Capt. Thomas Fuller : 70-David, where the hell are you?
Hondo : We are somewhere around Sixth and Trenton. We lost communication in the tunnels. Where's our backup?
Capt. Thomas Fuller : [**POSSIBLE SPOILER**] Everything I have is going to Hawthorne Airport. That's where your friends Gamble and T.J. McCabe are headed.
Hondo : That's the other side of town! Send a couple units to pick us up.
Capt. Thomas Fuller : PICK YOU UP? For all I know you're in on this! I got a good mind to bring you in!
Hondo : [to Street, Sanchez, and Deke] Like hell. Come on, let's go.

[to Captain Fuller]
Hondo : Shame you're not playing a terrorist.
-
Hondo : Sorry. Wrong room.
Chris : Who are you looking for?
Hondo : Chris Sanchez.
Chris : I'm Chris Sanchez.
Hondo : YOU'RE Chris Sanchez?
Chris : Look, if you're Internal Affairs, that guy had razorblades in his mouth. I had to put him down hard. I'm sick and tired of these bullshit complains because some vato doesn't like getting thrown to the pavement by a woman.
Hondo : [Raises eyebrow] I look like IAD to you?
[Sanchez shrugs]
-
Capt. Thomas Fuller : Nice job.
Hondo : Don't sound so happy.
Capt. Thomas Fuller : Still got a problem. He's still here.
[Gestures towards Alex Montel]
Chris : Road trip?
Street : [Beaten up from the fight with Gamble] Road trip.
Hondo : Yeah... road trip. Guess you'll have to fire us later.
[Street spits blood out of his mouth, team walks away toward arriving SWAT truck with Fuller smiling at the team for once in the whole movie]

Hondo : I need your A-game boys... and girl.

Velasquez : [Deleted Scene: Hondo's Introduction- Lt. Velasquez says to Officers of SWAT Division] Gentlemen! Our new 70-David has just made his first stealth entry. If you don't know him, you've probably heard of him: Sergeant Dan "Hondo" Harrelson!
[Officers cheer and applaud, with Boxer and McCabe's voices louder than the others]
Velasquez : Here is a man who will outrun, outfight, outshoot
[Hondo raises his eyebrows in disbelief at Velasquez]
Velasquez : , outsmart, out-paperwork, ALL OF YOU.
McCabe : I got 20 bucks says otherwise.
Boxer : I'll cover 10 of it for you.
Velasquez : Now you know gambling's not allowed, and I shouldn't have to tell you that... but I'll cover that 10.
Boxer : Done.
Velasquez : Few words, Sergeant?
Hondo : As a matter of fact...
[Pretends to smack TJ with his book]

Hondo : Here's where watching 'The World's Most Exciting Police Chases' pays off.
-
Hondo : Oh look, they got their own airport security.
-
Hondo : Drop Fruit of the Loomski in the A-car.
-
Hondo : Let's go make the Captain look like a hero.

Capt. Thomas Fuller : The Chief is *making* me take you back. He's concerned about losing all his best officers to other cities.
Hondo : He thinks that I'm one of his best officers?
Capt. Thomas Fuller : But, he's given me complete oversight, and trust me, you've got no room for error.
[Looking at the files]
Capt. Thomas Fuller : So, I will give you Boxer, T.J. McCabe and this new guy, uh, Deacon Kay. I'm gonna pass up the other 2. Sanchez is a woman and Street? Well, Street's on my shit list.
Hondo : Hey, *I'm* on your shit list too, and I'm the team leader.
Capt. Thomas Fuller : You work for *me* now, and it's *my* team to choose.
Hondo : With all due respect, Captain, other leaders get to pick their teams.
Capt. Thomas Fuller : And you can too, just pick two new people.
Hondo : Look. Just give me the team I asked for. You can even call it your *shit list* team. That way, if anything goes wrong, you can put all the blame on me. It'll be just like old times.
Capt. Thomas Fuller : Okay. Okay, you got your team.
[Puts the files together]
Capt. Thomas Fuller : But, when you fail, and you probably will fail, Sanchez goes back to Traffic, and you and your boy Street are plain gone.
[Hondo shrugs in disgust]
Capt. Thomas Fuller : No, not just off S.W.A.T., off the force. You *feel* me?
Hondo : Oh yeah, I *feel* you.

Hondo : How the hell can I trust a man who won't eat a good old-fashioned American hot dog?
-
Hondo : [last lines, sitting in the front passenger seat of a SWAT truck, after hearing a diamond robbery taking place over the radio, turns head back to see Street] technically our watch has been over for twelve hours
Street : [turns his head back to see Hondo, then turns his head back to face forward, smiles, while putting on his radio headset] so?
Hondo : [sits up straight] yeah, what the hell?
Hondo : [grabs underneath his seat to get the rifle ready] Mount up !

Hondo : Deke, the frog's runnin'!
