Quotes
-
Det. Ron Harris : If you add it all up: the jacket, the pants, the hat, the helmet, the stick, you're talking $300 bucks
Capt. Barney Miller : It's about right
Det. Ron Harris : It's not money is the problem.
Capt. Barney Miller : Then what is the problem ?
Det. Ron Harris : I don't know. Barn, it's just with my book doing so well and other projects in the offing. Barn, I just think that I'm...
Capt. Barney Miller : Above it all
Det. Ron Harris : It's more than that... I am on the verge of a change of life
Capt. Barney Miller : Really ?
Det. Ron Harris : I am juggling a lot of things right now I think there are Investments, there is a possible movie sale for Bob. Barn, it's just hard for me to deal with these marginal duties.
Capt. Barney Miller : Alright, let me tell you something... I'm getting very tired of hearing about Bob,
Det. Ron Harris : Oh...
Capt. Barney Miller : ...and the movie sales, and the autograph parties and the gold and the investments and all the rest of the mishegas that disrupts the work of this squad
Det. Ron Harris : Mishegas, I'm afraid you got me at a little disadvantage
Capt. Barney Miller : I'm afraid you're going to make your mind what you want to be ! Cause I will tell you the truth, I can not afford a cop who dabbles in police work.
Det. Ron Harris : With all due respect Captain, just because your prospects are severely limited, I don't think you should go around projecting your frustrations on an innocent bystander.
Capt. Barney Miller : A uniform is required today, I would advise you to get a uniform today unless you have some immediate prospects for tomorrow.

Det. Ron Harris : I don't have it ?
Capt. Barney Miller : You don't have it? Where is it ?
Det. Ron Harris : I don't know it must have gotten lost when I thinned out my wardrobe last year
Capt. Barney Miller : Oh really...?
Det. Ron Harris : It was a very hectic time, when they switched back to traditional Barney, it caught me completely off-guard

Capt. Barney Miller : You will have one by 6 this evening
Det. Ron Harris : Ouch... Even if I could get to the uniform place today, there are alteration's... fittings...
Capt. Barney Miller : Get one off the rack
Det. Ron Harris : I thought we knew each other
