Capt. James Donnelly
- Capt. James Donnelly: You disappoint me Cole Phelps. Get back in there and raise some lumps boy! I need a confession!
- Police Chief William Worrell: You certainly had us fooled, Detective.
- Capt. James Donnelly: Phelps, you were one of my favorite sons. You've broken this old man's heart.
- Cole Phelps: Sir, what is going on...
- Police Chief William Worrell: You're suspended, Phelps. Hand over your badge and gun.
- D.A. Donald Sandler: Don't keep him waiting.
- Cole Phelps: What is going on here?
- Capt. James Donnelly: Your wife's attorney has pictures of you and the German. Compromising pictures, lad.
- D.A. Donald Sandler: She is pressing charges. You'll be formally charged with adultery. A criminal cannot serve as an L.A.P.D. officer, as I'm sure you are aware.
- Cole Phelps: I don't understand...
- Capt. James Donnelly: How could do it, lad? Your wife, your children... consorting with the enemy, and a dope fiend at that. You're lucky the war is over. You'd be taken out and shot.
- Police Chief William Worrell: The Department doesn't need this kind of publicity, Phelps. Now hand over the gun and keep your head down until your board hearing.
- [Phelps obliges]
- Police Chief William Worrell: I forbid you to make any comments to the press. What the hell were you thinking?
- Capt. James Donnelly: I have to say I'm disappointed. I stood in front of a troupe of reporters and made promises. Promises of swift and fearful retribution and you bring me an armful of vagary and happenstance.
