The Deadly Tower (1975 TV Movie)

John Forsythe: Lt. Elwood Forbes

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Elwood Forbes : Sorry to bother you, but I understand you told one of my men earlier about a guy in here buying guns and ammo. Could you tell me what he looked like?

  Gun Shop Owner : Like I told the officer on the phone, I don't pay attention to how my customers look.

  Lieutenant Elwood Forbes : Can't you try to remember?

  Gun Shop Owner : Well, he was a big kid. Short hair, nice looking.

  Lieutenant Elwood Forbes : Did you know him? Have you ever seen him in here before?

  Gun Shop Owner : Like I told the officer who called, I don't pay attention to how my customers look.

  Lieutenant Elwood Forbes : Well, don't you find it funny? A man walks in here and buys a high-powered rifle, a shotgun, and enough ammunition to start World War III?

  Gun Shop Owner : Look Lieutenant, I don't choose the customers! If a man walks in here and wants a weapon, we sell him one. If he wants two, we sell him two. There ain't no law against that.

  Lieutenant Elwood Forbes : Yes, but did you by any chance get him to sign the registration form for the purchase of the weapons?

  Gun Shop Owner : Of course. That's the law.
