• Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : There was an attempted mugging half a block from here tonight.

  Jeff Blue : Really?

  Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : The victim got away.

  Jeff Blue : Oh, good.

  Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : You don't know nothing about that?

  Jeff Blue : No, I don't think so.

  Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : You match the description of the intended victim: a man with a baby stroller.

  Det. Sgt. Halsey : And we got us a bag lady that says she saw the man enter this hotel.

  Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : And the desk clerk says that man was you.

  Jeff Blue : Well, that certainly narrows it down, doesn't it?

• Det. Sgt. Halsey : [watching as Jeff walks out to a parade of jazz musicians and borrows a trumpet to play]  That's your husband.

  Jane Blue : I know.

  Det. Sgt. Halsey : Does he know how to play the trumpet?

  Jane Blue : Apparently.

• Jeff Blue : Oh, hi guys. Hey, you can go to a strip joint. We're just going to spend a quiet evening at home.

  Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : Oh, thanks. We appreciate that, *Mr.* Blue.

  Jane Blue : Oh, anything we can do to make your lives easier.

  Det. Sgt. Halsey : Isn't the baby a little young for dolls?

  Jeff Blue : Oh, it's for me. It's a post-feminist doll.

  Jane Blue : Yeah. Goes to work with little sneakers on, but resents it.

  Jeff Blue : See ya.

  Jane Blue : Night.

  Det. Sgt. Halsey : Bye.

  [to Ted] 

  Det. Sgt. Halsey : You know, they're really very interesting people.

• Det. Sgt. Halsey : Phone call for you, sir.

  Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : Well, take a message.

  Det. Sgt. Halsey : It's about Blue.

  Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : Well, who is it? The President?

  Det. Sgt. Halsey : [laughing]  No...

  [serious] 

  Det. Sgt. Halsey : ...it's the Governor.

• Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : What just happened here?

  Jeff Blue : I'd say it was a domestic disturbance.

  Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer : A domestic disturbance?

  Jeff Blue : Yeah like on the Honeymooners. You remember how Ralph used to fight with Alice.

  Det. Sgt. Halsey : I don't recollect Ralph using semi-automatic weapons.

  Jane Blue : But Norton sometimes did. And Mrs. Manacotti on the third floor, wow what a temper.

• Police Captain : The FBI fired Blue twice?

  Sawyer : Fired him in 81, rehired him in 84, fired him again in 85.

  Police Captain : Why?

  Sawyer : Well, Captain, there's all sorts of rumors.

  Det. Sgt. Halsey : Tell him what he did in between.

  Police Captain : I'm gonna hate this aren't I?

  Sawyer : CIA.

  Police Captain : Perfect!

  Sawyer : Until they got on the band wagon and fired him too.
