- Det. Janice Wentworth: Guy's making a speech about the union and why they decided not to use their pension funds to bail out New York City because they have better things to do... all of a sudden I hear yelling and I look around and I see a gun... I grab the guy's arm... gun goes off in the air, which I hope to God there's no airplanes. "I am police officer", I yelled "drop it", and I yelled a few other things and then I kicked him. He yelled something dirtier than what I yelled and dropped the gun. Yes !
- Capt. Barney Miller: We had a report that an officer from the 12th precinct used questionable language to an officer from Manhattan South
- Det. Janice Wentworth: No... Yeah, there was a discussion took place ?
- Capt. Barney Miller: What was said.
- Det. Janice Wentworth: Before I could read this goon his rights, these two guys from Manhattan South start taking over. "Thanks a lot girlie" one of them says to me, which I replied "Sir, that's my collar, Wentworth, 12th Precinct". Which he ignores, so I replied again
- Capt. Barney Miller: In questionable language ?
- Det. Janice Wentworth: No it wasn't questionable, he knew exactly what it meant
- Capt. Barney Miller: Look, Wentworth, It's nice to get credit but the important thing is you did the job you get paid to do, probably saved a life, and there is a dangerous man in custody. So let's not feels sorry for ourselves and try to take satisfaction in the job well done.

- Burgess the Barber: I'm going to move someplace where the police have everything under control
- Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale: Yeah... Alright, go to Miami, and turn left to Havana
- Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale: That's how you fool'em, Mr Burgess... huh... because nothing you give them is worth much any way, right. So he gets nothing and you live to buy more junk until the next idiot comes along and says "stick it up", right. But the fewer guns there are out there Mr. Burgess, the less guys there would be to come around and say "stick'em up" and someday .. Senor, yo quiere... your junk will be safe.
