Quotes

Capt. Barney Miller : All right, ladies and gentlemen, what's the trouble
Harry Cranston : Well it seems to me that we spent enough time here, we got our stuff back, you got your punk and I got a business to run.
Capt. Barney Miller : We're not going to do much with our punk, unless we get your statements as witnesses
Harry Cranston : And spend our whole day in court
Capt. Barney Miller : Unfortunately, that's part of what we call the American Judicial System, yes
Miss Lambert : It might be nice, I've never seen you in the morning
Mr. Strand, Bus Driver : I ain't taking any more time off from work, you know how many guys are on line waiting for my job
Harry Cranston : I don't want to get involved
Capt. Barney Miller : Your all ready involved
Miss Lambert : From your mouth to his ear
Capt. Barney Miller : Weren't you the guy who was yelling that... that the police falling down on the job. Well, it's time for you to take some responsibility. We need your statements as witnesses. We need your testimony in court
Brenner : Hey, your not allowed to do that. That's badgering a witness
Det. Ron Harris : Clam up Brenner

Mr. Strand, Bus Driver : Listen, I got to get out of here, you know how it is
Det. Ron Harris : Sure, Strand, we know how it is.
Mr. Strand, Bus Driver : I mean, they'll probably let him off anyway. It's all a waste of time
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Yeah, thanks to you and you and your defeatist attitude
Det. Sgt. Nick Yemana : Here... Here
Mr. Strand, Bus Driver : If you get out of here, I'm warning you, stay off my bus !

Capt. Barney Miller : Mr. Quentin, I forget about you completely, what do you say ?
Mr. Quentin : Oh, I'd like to help you.
Capt. Barney Miller : Good, Dietrich, bring a statement, we'll have Mr. Quentin sign it.
Mr. Quentin : But I can't
Capt. Barney Miller : Mr. Quentin, there has been a crime committed. We like to discourage that sort of thing and we need your help.
Mr. Quentin : I'm a little hazy on the the facts. I...
Capt. Barney Miller : You were robbed weren't you ?
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : No he wasn't robbed
Capt. Barney Miller : I mean, you saw other people being robbed ?
Mr. Quentin : I guess so
Capt. Barney Miller : You hurt your back ?
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : I though it was your neck
Mr. Quentin : Well, its all together
Capt. Barney Miller : Where did you get on that bus, Mr. Quentin ?
Mr. Quentin : Uh, Seventh Avenue and Twenty- Six street, I think
Capt. Barney Miller : It was a cross-town bus
Mr. Quentin : I said I was hazy on the facts
Capt. Barney Miller : You got on that bus after the crash, didn't you
Mr. Quentin : Why... Why would I do a thing like that ?
Capt. Barney Miller : Insurance Fraud, how about that, good guess
Mr. Quentin : Well, I mean, people do it every day, don't they. Insurance companies got plenty. They get a break on taxes. They soak us pretty good, right ?
Capt. Barney Miller : That's an opinion but they do it legally
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich , Brenner : Hey Quentin, Quentin, come on in here with me, there's plenty of room
Capt. Barney Miller : Knock it off !
Mr. Quentin : Am I free to go ?
Capt. Barney Miller : Fortunately, you didn't go too far.
Mr. Quentin : I could have signed that statement, you never would have known
Mr. Quentin : Conscience doth make cowards of us all
Det. Sgt. Nick Yemana : Very well put

Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : You know what it is ?
Brenner : What ?
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : Sinus trouble
-
Det. Ron Harris : Okay Brenner let's go
Brenner : Easy, easy I got sinus trouble , right ?
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich : I'd stake my professional reputation on it
