- Mrs. Greene: [handing Starsky a styrofoam cup] Here. Drink.
- Det. Dave Starsky: Oh, good. I could use some coffee.
- Mrs. Greene: What are you talking, coffee? It's bad for the bones. Soup!
- Det. Dave Starsky: Look, are you married?
- Mrs. Greene: Is that a proposal?
- Det. Dave Starsky: Well, I don't make much money and I keep irregular hours, but...
- Mrs. Greene: The important thing is are you a good dancer?
- Det. Dave Starsky: I think I'm in love.
- Detective Joan Meredith: Look, Starsky, I remind you, I did not ask for this assignment.
- Det. Dave Starsky: I guess I'm just lucky.
- Detective Joan Meredith: It's called quota time.
- Det. Dave Starsky: Come again.
- Detective Joan Meredith: You read the papers, watch the news, pressure is on the department to hire more minorities, to hire more women. So I'm a veritable find in this one beautiful black person. I fill two quotas.
- Det. Dave Starsky: Great, why don't you sit closer to the window so everybody can see you.
- Huggy Bear: Well, well, well. My man Starsky, cross-pollinating, Beauty & the Beast. In case you're wondering, you ain't the Beauty.
