Quotes:
From "Dragnet: The Big Seventeen (#2.4)" (1952)
Mrs. Demmering: Tomorrow's Johnny's birthday, you know; I meant to tell you. I always expect him home on his birthday. Seems no matter where he is, no matter how he's tied up with school or sports or something, Johnny always makes it home on his birthday.
Sgt. Joe Friday: I see.
Mrs. Demmering: I wonder how it will be tomorrow. He's never missed being at home on his birthday - not once.
Sgt. Joe Friday: Well, if he shows up, I guess you can count on one thing, ma'am.
Mrs. Demmering: What's that?
Sgt. Joe Friday: He might have to miss next year.
