There's a comment about "getting pussy."

Brown says that after graduation (from the police academy) he'll get a "blow job," with Billy jokingly responding, "Your mother must be quite a woman."

About Colin's rise through the police department, Sergeant Dignam sarcastically says it's like "a 12-year-old's dick."

The camera focuses on a woman's clothed butt (representing Colin's point of view).

We see Billy and other men shirtless in prison (Billy is there as part of a police ploy).

Captain Ellerby and Sgt Dignam trade mocking insults at each other about "fucking" the other's wife and mother.

In separate scenes, some miscellaneous women show varying amounts of cleavage.

About a severed hand, Mr. French jokes about which hand the victim used when he "jerked off."

Costello confronts some priests and makes a mocking comment about sex abuse charges against the Church.

Costello gives some priests what may be a lewd drawing about a nun (they then show it to her, but it's only briefly seen).

We see Madolyn telling Colin that it's not uncommon and he looks uncomfortable, thus suggesting he had some erectile issue the night before.

A woman asks Costello if he going to drop her off somewhere "or fuck me or what?"

About some gangsters showing up with machine guns, Costello tells them "you don't add inches to your dick" by doing so.

Costello wants Colin to take care of police problems and thus suggests something might happen to Madolyn if he doesn't. He asks Colin, "Do you like little miss thing sucking on your cock?" and Colin says he does. Costello then says to fix the problem or else there will be some other guy sticking his "fat cock up her ass."

A woman shows some cleavage.

A man sits in an adult theater watching a pornographic movie he then stands up and reveals a dildo from under his coat. Colin then hears male sexual sounds coming from a few rows in front of him as a man then stands up and holds a large dildo in front of his pants. It's Costello, just joking around with Colin, telling him he owns the place, but that since it's always easy for him to get "cunt," he never understands people "jacking off" in the theater. Needing a place to meet Costello, Colin goes into a porn theater where we see clips of a porn film playing on the screen (and otherwise hear its audio with some sexually related sounds), but don't see anything explicit.

A man and a woman passionatly kiss and we see the beginnings of them starting to have sex, they lay down on a bed and continue to kiss but there is no nudity and the scenes ends on this. There is no sex scene.

Costello says that he doesn't need "pussy" anymore, but that he likes it.

We see Colin and Madolyn in bed together, but they're just talking.

A painting in the background of a shot shows a bare-breasted woman holding some small material over her crotch.

After Costello makes an angry call (including talk of someone crawling up another's "ass"), he tells his woman, "You're giving me a hard on." She then playfully asks if he's sure that's not from all of the crawling up the "ass" talk. He tells her to watch her mouth, and she replies, "No, you watch it. Let me straighten you out" as she suggestively goes over to him (presumably to perform oral sex, but we don't see that occur).

Costello is mad about where a subordinate dumped a body, telling him you don't do that "where a guy goes to get a blowjob."

Madolyn shows Colin her ultrasound, showing that she's pregnant and points out a little speck that she says is the baby's penis. The two then roll around on the bed (clothed), with him ending up between her legs.
