Capt. Barney Miller : Let him go home.
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Uh, Barney, uh, you wanna hold Miss Gifford?

Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : All right, Mr. Franklin, you're free to go.
Mr. Franklin : Yeah?
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : That's right.
Mr. Franklin : Oh, yeah? Oh, thank you. I got a plane to catch.
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Yeah, uh, do me a favor, huh? Next time you come to New York on a vacation, stay in Philadelphia.

Mr. Franklin : Hey. Hey, I never saw this woman before in my whole life.
Tracy Gifford : Fuzzo, how's the horsy trade?
Fuzzo : Oh, listen, not bad. How's tricks?
Tracy Gifford : Pretty good.Till lately.
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Barney, this is Miss Tracy Gifford, who made a call to room service last night about 12:30 from Mr. Franklin's room.
Capt. Barney Miller : Is that true, Miss Gifford?
Tracy Gifford : Yeah, and so far a root beer, and a grilled cheese sandwich is all I got outta this.
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : The waiter recognized the woman as Miss Gifford, as she is a frequent overnight guest at the hotel. I, uh, apprehended Miss Gifford in the hotel bar.
Capt. Barney Miller : Mr. Franklin, is this the woman who assaulted you?
Tracy Gifford : You bet I am.
Capt. Barney Miller : You admit it?
Tracy Gifford : You wanna know what happened?
Capt. Barney Miller : Please.
Tracy Gifford : Okay. Last night, I'm down walking in the park, like I'm apt to do. I sell these buttons. For the bicentennial, for charity. See: "1776 to 1976. We've only just begun." Cute, huh? Anyway, the creep comes up to me and asks me how much for one of my buttons. I tell him the usual price: $60. He asks me if I will deliver it up to his room. So I go up there with the button. Jumping ahead a little, I'm getting ready to leave and I ask him for my money.For the button, for charity.He says, "Try and get it." So I took appropriate measures, which he had it coming.
Capt. Barney Miller : Mr. Franklin, is this substantially what happened?
Mr. Franklin : I was alone.
Tracy Gifford : You deserve to be.
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Mr. Franklin, if you file a complaint, we can charge Miss Gifford with aggravated assault.
Tracy Gifford : Listen, I could file a few charges of my own, like restraint of trade.
Capt. Barney Miller : I'm afraid that's a little out of our area.
Tracy Gifford : I don't need you. We got a union now.
