21 Jump Street Episode Episode "Next Victim" Quote:

"Words hurt. Ideas kill. You know, I used to think it was funny telling racist jokes.I mean, I thought it was harmless. I never thought I'd have to own up to it. Then yesterday, I hurt someone I care about and I found out the power of hateful words.And now I'm apologizing to her and I'm apologizing to you. I'm not going to tell you to turn off your televisions or not to listen to your radios because that is not the answer. I believe there is truth and I believe there is a light and I believe there is a way to talk to one another and understand one another to make things better. I mean it's not going to be easy, but that's what I'm gonna try to do for now on. So if you wanna talk to me about hatred the phone lines are open."
-Dennis Booker, undercover as  a college campus radio show host.

I think this is one of my favorite episodes (out of the more serious ones) the show has. Depp as Hanson is no where to be seen in this episode which seems to miff some people.I think that's a little unfair. I don't know if this was one of the episodes originally written for Hanson or not, but Richard Greico as Dennis did a fantastic job with the above monologue.
