...if there's one thing I hate more than lame-arsed cops such as yourselves, it's dirty cops.– The chief (Nick Bell-Booth), to Detectives Rosco and Spasgetty
You want us to rough him up a little bit — let him know it's serious?– Detective Rosco (Glen-Paul Waru) asks the chief about how to handle the case
Look, we've got one dead groupie and a s**tload of cocaine. Now we think Watson's involved because he didn't turn up for one of his concerts.– The chief (Nick Bell-Booth) outlines his suspicions about musician Gnarly Watson
Character: Gnarly Watson. Character trait: rock 'n' roll legend. Line of dialogue: "I didn't see that coming." Prop: torch.– Required elements for the Auckland leg of the 48 Hour Film Project
