• Elizabeth Miller : This is a brochure from our travel agent about crossing on the SS France, it costs about $4,000 one way. Now, these are the three best hotels in Paris : The Plaza Athenee, The Bristol, and The Crillon. The villa in the South of France costs $1250 a week, then we fly back to Paris and then back to New York. That makes the whole thing cost about $26,000 for six weeks. Can we afford it ?

  Barney Miller : No

  Elizabeth Miller : Okay... How about taking me to lunch ?

  Barney Miller : You didn't have to go through all of that just to get me to take you to lunch.

  Elizabeth Miller : I thought you would be more excited about the idea if you thought I saved you $26,000 .

And then I bought David a pair of sneakers and then I read in the newspaper about a policemen getting killed in a bank robbery in Massachusetts and I just had an overpowering desire to have lunch with you

  Barney Miller : I see

  Elizabeth Miller : Besides, at the group-therapy session for law-enforcement wives, They suggested all of this.

  Barney Miller : I though they dealt with a more direct approach

  Barney Miller : You got it !

  Elizabeth Miller : Thank you
