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 : Ah, That's right .You see that, you forgot. Harris was in the Coast Guard for two years.
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Yeah
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Uh, the legal department, wasn't it ?
Det. Ron Harris : Yeah. You think that wasn't rough ? !

Detective Kelly : Hey, Fish, what happened to Yemana ? Was he cleaning his gun or something ?
Det. Phil Fish : He was ambushed ?
Detective Kelly : Ambushed ? Just because he's a Japanese ? Boy, some guys always are trying to get even.
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Just some guy who don't like cops.
Detective Kelly : You know, there's more and more of that. You know, people use to like cops. Back in the old days, we use to be George Murphy, Phil Regan, Pat O'Brien. Nowadays, we're Al Pacino, Richard Roundtree. No wonder, we're getting ambushed

Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Hey Barn, excuse me, uh, this is Emil Ditka. We found him up on a roof with that rifle . It hadn't been fired yet.
Emil Ditka : Not yet?
Capt. Barney Miller : Were you, uh, planning on firing this Mr. Ditka ?
Emil Ditka : If the need arises and the opportunity presents itself. Que sera , sera, right ?
Capt. Barney Miller : I assume this is registered with the police department ?
Emil Ditka : Yes, its registered.
Detective Kelly : Check it out Kelly ?
Detective Kelly : Yeah, right away Captain.

Emil Ditka : When do I get my piece back ?
Capt. Barney Miller : As soon as it's checked out
Emil Ditka : When do I talk to my lawyer ?
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : There's no need to call a lawyer, Mr. Ditka. Your not being charged with a crime.
Emil Ditka : Oh, don't give me that. Members of my group have been hassled before.
Capt. Barney Miller : What group would that be ?
Emil Ditka : The Staten Island Shoot Club and Personal Armament League
Capt. Barney Miller : I'm not, uh, familiar with that group?
Emil Ditka : Well, you will be and when you need us, we'll be there.
Capt. Barney Miller : It's good to know we have support in some quarters
Det. Phil Fish : Wonderful
Emil Ditka : Of course, you got support. You think, the league don't know what you guys are going through? You got friends out there. See, we keep a low profile for security reasons.
Capt. Barney Miller : How many, uh , members are there in your league ?
Emil Ditka : So far ?
Capt. Barney Miller : Round figures ?
Emil Ditka : Let's see, uh... there's me and Charlie and Larry and a new guy Sid something

Det. Phil Fish : Are you going to do that all day ?

Det. Phil Fish : The way I figure at this point, we don't owe each other anything

Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Yeah, hold on a second. I don't believe it, that's Florida again.
Capt. Barney Miller : For me or for Fish ?
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : It's for Kelly
Detective Kelly : Well.. you see Barney, yesterday, I put out a few feelers. Can I take it in your office, Barney?
Capt. Barney Miller : That's what it's for ?

Detective Kelly : Give me your phone number ?... Yeah... And the address ? Okay, we'll send somebody right over. Thank you. We got a Burglary on 17th Street. Some broad got her apartment rifled.
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Hey. That could be another set-up. Come on Kelly.
Detective Kelly : Uh. Wh-what do mean, "Come on Kelly ?". I just got here . I'm still unpacking. I'm trying to get acclimatized, you know ?
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Hey, come on, Harris and Chano had their shot, it's our turn ?
Detective Kelly : Yeah, well listen,I don't want to muscle in on another guy's collar.
Det. Phil Fish : I'll go
Detective Kelly : Yeah, yeah, sure, go . You got seniority
Capt. Barney Miller : You'd better verify that call
Detective Kelly : Yeah, yeah, good idea, Fish, why don't you verify that call ?
[turns to Wojo]
Detective Kelly : I mean, come on, will you, hey ? That's a rookie trick, muscle in on another guy's collar. Back in the old days, cops didn't do things like that.
Det. Phil Fish : Hello ? Madam ? This is Detective Fish at the Twelfth Precinct. Did you just place a call to report a burglary in your apartment ? We'll send someone right over. You did ? Thank you. We're glad to hear about that . We'll send someone right over ?
Capt. Barney Miller : Legitimate ?
Det. Phil Fish : She lost everything.
Capt. Barney Miller : Hold it. Wojo, take Kelly with you.
Detective Kelly : Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. I'm glad to go. You don't want to walk into an ambush. You got a pad ?
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Yeah, I got a pad.
Detective Kelly : All right, let's mount up
Capt. Barney Miller : Keep your eyes open , you hear ?
Det. Phil Fish : Yeah, don't worry.

Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Mr. Ditka was up on a roof, across from the apartment building that got ripped off
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Oh yeah. Mr.Ditka, What are you doing up on a roof cleaning your rifle ? Why don't you clean your rifle in your apartment.
Emil Ditka : I like to in full view of the local youth. Just another way of saying "Emil Ditka got a gun".
-
Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale : Twelfth Precinct, Detective Sergeant Amenguale speaking... W-would you repeat that please?... Yes, yes, I'm writing it down. Uh-huh very good, thank you. We should be there between ten to fifteen minutes. Thank you very much, goodbye. Barney, I swear to you that is the same guy who called me yesterday
Det. Ron Harris : Here we go round two
Capt. Barney Miller : This time we're all going. Wojo, draw some weapons. Meet you downstairs.
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Okay, Captain
