Lt. Arthur Fancy • Capt. Arthur Fancy
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: Keep me posted.
- Andy: Any cases you don't want us to keep you posted on? What's the point in saying that?
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: OK, then, get outta my office.
- [Fancy has been briefing Rodriguez]
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: Well, that's about it. You know, you haven't asked me any questions about the squad.
- Lt. Tony Rodriguez: Yeah, guess I better do that; wouldn't want to appear apathetic. Any squadroom romances I need to be aware of?
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: None right now.
- Lt. Tony Rodriguez: Okay. Any old school detectives that care more about solving cases than making the bosses happy?
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: Yeah. Sipowicz. He's... unique.
- Lt. Tony Rodriguez: Is he a good detective?
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: If a member of my family was murdered, I'd want Sipowicz to catch the case.
- Lt. Tony Rodriguez: I guess that's it then. Good luck, Captain.
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: Here's some free advice: get enough self-respect so when some fool starts talking to you like a nigger, you don't go half nuts and jam yourself up needing to prove he isn't right.
- Officer Reggie Fancy: You got some funny ideas about self-respect.
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: My idea's when I hear an ass out in the field braying, I don't feel any deep need to start braying back.
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: The future keeps telling us what the past was about. You make the past mean different things by the way you use the time that comes after.
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: [an overweight woman has demanded to see Sipowicz] Andy, there's no easy way to say this, but Jeri is having issues with Diane and Jill. She's demanding to see you.
- Andy: That ain't goin' to happen.
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: Diane and Jill think she's painted herself into a corner with manslaughter and it doesn't need to go that way. Anyway, she says either she talks to you or she lawyer's up.
- Andy: That's what she needs to do then. Maybe we don't do enough of that.
- [Looks at Simone]
- Andy: See, this amuses you because you don't attract psychotics.
- Det. Bobby Simone: No, it doesn't. Well, yeah, it is amusing; but this could be real serious.
- Andy: She make any derogatory references?
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: She said you were old and bald.
- Andy: Old?
- Det. Danny Sorenson: Bald?
- Andy: We're going to check out the other building this wacko manages.
- [to Jones]
- Andy: You might want to talk to this guy; he's carrying on about black demons and voices.
- Det. Baldwin Jones: What, do you want me to go in there with my tribal outfit on?
- [Disgusted, Sipowicz leaves]
- Det. Baldwin Jones: [to Fancy] Do you want me to go in there?
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: Well, do you have a tribal outfit?
- Det. Baldwin Jones: [Fancy has been catching hell all day from the chief] Uh, excuse me, lieutenant. This guy we've got in the pokey gave us a place to pick up the suspect in that shooting this morning. Greg's at IAB and everyone else is out canvassing. Should I call Anti-Crime to go with me to pick up this guy?
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: [Looking at the phone and all the paperwork] No, I'll go with you.
- Det. Baldwin Jones: You'll go? Are you sure? Don't you have other things to do?
- Lt. Arthur Fancy: [Phone begins to ring as Fancy picks up his coat] Are you kidding? I'm going with you. John, I'll be on the air.
