Quotes[]

Briscoe: We know one thing; he was a cigar smoker. We found this in his coat.

Green: That's a Montechristo Series 7. It's Dominican, it's rare and very expensive so people try to counterfeit them. So they put a second band, underneath the first one, that has a registry number.

Van Buren: Oh, so we can trace it.

Briscoe: Hey, it's always a plus when your vices payoff. [As he points at Det. Green]
