Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Yeah. I just wish I been there
Det. Ron Harris : Oh yeah, I forgot, you were a Marine
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : What's wrong with that ?
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Marine don't smile man. They got these cold blue eyes, and they always look straight ahead, and they got jaws a foot wide, like that.
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Well, I guess we approach things differently, psychologically speaking.
Det. Ron Harris : Hey man, you weren't the only dude in the service.

Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : I'd tell you. if nobody want that job, maybe I'll take it. I mean, if nobody appreciates the job we're doing what's the point of hangin' around.
Capt. Barney Miller : If you didn't expect so much, you wouldn't be so disappointed.
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Barney, I don't expect so much. All I would like is somebody to say thank you, just once in a while.
Capt. Barney Miller : Once in a while, someone says thank you
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : I haven't heard it. You kidding... I got the garbage but not the flowers
Capt. Barney Miller : You've never heard of Mrs. Lorraine Kirkland ?
Det. Ron Harris : Whose Mrs .Lorraine Kirkland ?
Capt. Barney Miller : Mrs. Lorraine Kirkland, happens to love the police. I got a letter here from her, that I've been holding off, because I figured there would be a time when you would need a little morale booster. Okay, listen. To the men of the twelfth precinct. I am a widow 72 years of age. Two weeks ago, my apartment was burglarized and the gentlemen who were assigned to the case were courteous, efficient, and very concerned. Short time later the burglar was caught and my most precious personal mementos were returned. Thank God, there are men like you protecting people like me. Bless you all and thank you. Sincerely Yours Mrs. Lorraine Kirkland
Det. Ron Harris : When did we get that ?
Capt. Barney Miller : June 14, 1959
Det. Ron Harris : That was 16 years ago
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Yeah. So she either 88, or we're alone again
