That's the only way to go. Am I right?

You boys rookies?

Yes, sir. Traffic.

I'm John Davis. This is Phil Sweet.

That's Red Astrachan, Mike Grimes.

-You're lnspector Harry Callahan, no?

-That's right.

What are you doing here?

Don't you have regular times for this?

You shouldn't be on the streets

if you can't shoot well.

-Killers don't make allowances.

-You're in big trouble.

Can't fault you there.

Are you shooting

in the combat championship next week?

I always do.

-You win every year, don't you?

-Became sort of an institution around here.

Yes, sir, we've heard all about you.

This is about the only time

I get this place alone.

We'll leave if you'd like

the range to yourself.

No, that's all right.

What kind of a load do you use in that.44?

A light special.

This size gun gives me better control

and less recoil...

...than a.357 Magnum with wadcutters.

That's not bad.

Care to try?

No, sir. No, I don't think so.

-Come on, give it a try.

-Go on, Sweet.

I'm farsighted.

Don't drop it.

Hey, that's not bad.

Well, I think it's just a little heavy for me.

I missed one.

You'll get used to it.

Where did you learn to shoot?

Not around here.

No, sir, no.

Airborne Rangers, Special Forces.

And the rest of these guys, even close?

Well, Grimes here, he's...

...I guess he's about even with me.

Astrachan's a little better on a good day.

And Davis is just dog nuts.

He's a lot better.

A lot better? Sure show a sense of style.

Sweet, is it?

Yes, sir.

When I get back on Homicide,

I hope you boys will come see me.

-Good.

-Thank you very much, we'd like that.

Iet's go!

-Good night, sir.

-Good night.

Who buys? The sun was in my eyes!

-You got to be on, Grimes.

-The sun is always in your eyes.

How come I always have to buy

the beer for you turkeys.

Where do you want to go?

Put your hat on!

Come on now, baby.

Will you look at my ring!

It's beautiful!

Is this a gang war?

You have nothing to say?

-Do you expect more murder or violence?

-I have nothing to say at this time.

-ls this a gang war, lieutenant?

-No comment.

There were 200 murders last year.

Do you want to make a comment on that?

There'll be no bombs in pools.

This town belongs to the people.

We're gonna have law and order here.

That's all I have to say at this time.

What does that mean, Lieutenant?

You're it!

You're it!

Don't you want to play with us?

-Well, I don't know, sweetheart.

-Just a little while?

You're really getting the full treatment.

It's not often you get a sit-down dinner.

Okay, kids. All right, that's enough.

-Just a little bit more, just five minutes?

-let's go, let's go.

Say good night to Harry and off to bed.
