Mullins (McCarthy) is a no-nonsense, unapologetic and successful cop in Boston. Ashburn (Bullock) is an unpopular but rising star in the FBI who likes everything done by the book. When they're forced to work together on a drugs case, their opposing tactics and personalities cause sparks to fly.

Mullins doesn't like being disturbed when she's on a stake-out, even if the person doing the disturbing happens to be her Captain.
Dispatcher
[Over the radio]
Hey, Mullins. Captain wants to know when you're coming in.
Mullins
Hey, you know what? Tell him I'll be there sharply at, uh... go fu*k yourself o'clock, okay? If there's no traffic. Thank you.
Clip 2
Trying to pick up a prostitute when you have a cop watching you is a bad move. When it's Mullins doing the watching, you're going to have a VERY bad day. Especially when she calls your wife.
Bella
[Audible on the phone]
Hello?
Mullins
Yeah, who's... is this Bella?
Kerbcrawler
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
[MULLINS places the man's left hand into a gooseneck to prevent him grabbing the phone]
... AARGH! OW!
Mullins
Don't do that.
Kerbcrawler
GOD!
Mullins
Yes, this is Officer Mullins. I'm here with your husband.
Kerbcrawler
God, what are you... Spock?
Mullins
No. No, no he's not been in an accident... unfortunately. I just... I do have him here with a known prostitute.
Kerbcrawler
God, SHE'S LYING, BELLA. SHE'S LYING!
Mullins
Oh, that's not the first time, huh? Yeah, that's him. He's crying because I'm breaking his fu*king hand. Oh! She says do it harder.
[She increases the pressure]
Kerbcrawler
Aargh!
Mullins
There you go, Bella. This is from Bella. You gotta go with your instincts, Bella. Yep, you're welcome.
[She hangs up]
Yep. She's probably gonna burn your sh*t tonight, so...
Kerbcrawler
C'mon...look, you don't understand, all right? She's just had a baby. There's a lot going on down there. I'm not going to touch that.
Mullins
Why don't you take your, uh... seatbelt off for a minute.
Kerbcrawler
C'mon, please...
Mullins
Yeah, no... you seem like a reasonable guy. Take your fu*king belt off.
Kerbcrawler
You look like you've got some compassion.
Mullins
Listen. I love, I love the sound of a guy that after his wife gives him his fifth fu*king child complains about her messy vagina.
Clip 3
Rojas is a pimp. And a dealer. Which makes him enemy number one for Mullins. But he just HAS to try the race card. And it doesn't work. Not with her.
Rojas
Lady, tell me this. Why you so obsessed with me? You should be ashamed of yourself trying to break down a successful black man. You racist?
Mullins
Don't play that race bullsh*t card with me. Nine out of ten guys I fu*k are black guys.
Clip 4
Mullins has finally found a parking space and is about to interrogate Rojas when she notices that her prisoner isn't where she left him.
Mullins
Why is the cage empty? What have I told you about moving my prisoners?
Sergeant
He's in interrogation.
Mullins
Why would he be in interrogation when I'm standing right here?
Sergeant
They... they came and got him.
Mullins
Who's they? Better be two of me. Is it two of me?
Sergeant
It was a lady, she was...
Mullins
I'm a lady. Did I come and get him?
Sergeant
No, no it was a different lady. She was nice.
Mullins
I'm fu*king nice. Why was she nice to you?
Sergeant
She made me give her the keys.
Mullins
I'm gonna make you fu*king bend over and I'm gonna reach up your ass into your pocket and get the keys to your house. And then I'm gonna drive there, come in your front fu*king door and kill you in your sleep.
Clip 5
Mullins is searching the Captain's office. Ashburn doesn't know initially what she's searching for but it becomes painfully apparent when she asks the question.
Mullins
No. Not in there.
Captain Woods
There's nothing I can do, Mullins. The FBI has jurisdiction.
Mullins
Maybe they're in here...
Captain Woods
Oh, come on.
Mullins
Maybe they're in here, no?
Captain Woods
Stop. Will you stop?
Mullins
No. They're not in there. Let me see...
Ashburn
What is she doing?
Mullins
They're not under there.
Captain Woods
She's looking for my balls.
Mullins
[Opening the office door and shouting to the whole office]
Hey, has anyone seen the Captain's balls? Let me know. They're about this big. But a lot tinier. You know, like a pea or like a... like a ball-bearing. Or like if you've ever seen a mouse ball. But half that size. Incredibly tiny, they're like really, really tiny little girl balls. If little girls had balls. So if you find little tiny girl balls, that are SO FU*KING TINY... and shrivelled up... let me know 'cos I'll put 'em right back up his scrotum.
Captain Woods
Knock it off, Mullins.
Clip 6
Ashburn doesn't like having her jurisdiction stepped all over. She has some choice, firm words for Mullins. And Mullins has some words of her own to fire right back.
Ashburn
I'm gonna say this one more time. Stand down, Officer.
Mullins
Fu*k off, Officer.
Ashburn
Oh, okay, guess what? Now you've really done it. I'm gonna call my boss.
Mullins
Yeah, you do that... Tattletits!
Clip 7
Mullins is well known around Boston and she can't move for ex-conquests. This one is particularly persistent. Until she puts him straight.
Mullins
Buddy, do you not hear how pathetic everything out of your mouth sounds? I mean there's a girl out there for you but it's not... it's not me. Maybe it's her.
[Indicating ASHBURN]
Her "lady business" is like... an old dirty attic just full of broken Christmas lights and like dolls shoes and sh*t. Why don't you clean that out for her?
Ashburn
[To MAN]
Uh, that's uh, that's a misrepresentation of my vagina.
Clip 8
Mullins and Ashburn are undercover at a night club. If only buying alcohol from the bar was part of the act. But no. This is Mullins.
Bartender
Fourteen dollars.
Mullins
Fourteen dollars? Is... is it magic fu*king whisky? Do...do I get a motorcycle with it? Is it going to be served in Jesus' shoe?
Clip 9
Mullins and Ashburn are present for the autopsy of a gangster who's been murdered, speaking to the Pathologist.
Mullins
Yep, that's Sal Natale, all right.
Pathologist
Bullet hole through the head.
Ashburn
That's unusually civilised for them.
Pathologist
No, they cut out his tongue, too.
Ashburn
Ah. There you have it. They like to send a message. Did you find the tongue?
Pathologist
Sure. Yeah. They shoved it up his anal cavity.
Mullins
Ooh. That's a weird message.
Pathologist
Yeah. The tip of the tongue was sticking out of the rectum so it made it appear as if his buttocks were giving the police a raspberry.
Mullins
Did they draw googly eyes or anything on his butt cheeks?
Pathologist
No.
Mullins
Seems like... kind of an opportunity missed. Would've been funny.
Clip 10
Mullins and Ashburn have arrived at a warehouse and are ready to take in their perps. Sadly, however, they've been outflanked.
Ashburn
[Whispering]
I'm gonna call for backup.
Hale
[Appearing behind MULLINS and ASHBURN and pointing a Glock at each of them]
It's already here!
Ashburn
Oh, hey! I was looking for you. Um, I forgot to get your number.
Cursing is obviously not Ashburn's strong point because she's really, REALLY bad at it. She knows the words. Sort of. But she has no idea how to put them into the right order. Or use them in context!
Ashburn
God, you guys are just... what is... what is the matter with you? You're such... you're just such... JERKS. You're just such... SH*T JERK. You're just a SH*T JERK... D*CK... FU*KER. You're a SH*T JERK D*CK FU*KER A**HOLER. And you all can just go fu*k yourselves!
Clip 12
Ashburn has sustained a knife wound to the leg. She's about to be wheeled off to the OR when Mullins has a request of the medical staff.
Mullins
Do what you can to save that leg.
Nurse
Oh, I'm not a doctor.
Mullins
All right, fu*ktard. Just... I know you're not a doctor. But tell it to the doctor. How 'bout that?
