Michael Beach: Monte Parker

Quotes 

• Carlos Nieto : [to Doc]  Are you out of your mind?

  Monte Parker : Look, they need help.

  [Doc continues to walk] 

  Carlos Nieto : You're not even listening to me!

• Monte Parker : [to Carlos]  I want to talk this out.

  Carlos Nieto : Oh, now you wanna talk? You didn't wanna talk when I wanted to stay and help out that man. You didn't want to talk before running into a middle of a riot.

  Monte Parker : We had an assignment.

  Carlos Nieto : We had 30 assignments waiting, but I guess they weren't important enough for you.

  Monte Parker : Is that right?

  Carlos Nieto : You pick and choose what we're gonna do, who we're supposed to care about. What's that?

  Monte Parker : Come on. There were cops calling for help!

  Carlos Nieto : And I would've gone! I just wanted to be asked, man. You didn't even give me a chance!

  Monte Parker : Because I'm the one who makes those decisions.

  Carlos Nieto : Just like you decided that I was gonna take that guy's money?

  Monte Parker : So, that's what this is really about?

  Carlos Nieto : No, no, it's about you. You don't want to talk to me. You want to talk at me and I'm over it. I'm over you.

  Monte Parker : You think I give a damn what you're over? Huh?

  Carlos Nieto : No, you don't and that's your problem.

  Monte Parker : No, that's your problem because I am your superior and my word is final and you can't deal with that!

  Carlos Nieto : Oh, whatever.

  Monte Parker : I was doing this job when you were learning to walk, okay, so you could be as pissed as you want to be, but you damn well better respect that!

  Carlos Nieto : You're proud of that? All that means is you were never good enough to move up.

  [Doc shoves Carlos] 

  Carlos Nieto : You wanna hit me again? Go ahead, take it all out on me. You selfish son of a bitch.

  Monte Parker : You're calling me selfish?

  Carlos Nieto : I'm calling you selfish!

• Carlos Nieto : [to Doc]  You know what? You're nothing but a sad, miserable, old man who's got nothing but a little bit of power and a crappy little job.

  Carlos Nieto : Really?

  Monte Parker : Yeah

  Carlos Nieto : Well, hooray for you. Can I go now, sir?
