Rod Cameron: Lt. Rod Blake

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Lt. Rod Blake : Oh, hello. I'm Rod Blake, chief investigator for the Nevada state troopers. You know, it's been said many times that crime, complex or simple, is not unique to the big cities. Murder or petty theft in New York or Hollywood is no different from murder or petty theft in Tombstone or Steptoe Valley. It doesn't happen to a city; it happens to an individual. I'm thinking of a case called, "The Prettiest Dress in Goldfield". In New York it wouldn't have made quite the headlines it made in the Tonopah Tribune.

  Lt. Rod Blake : So you can get that laugh out of your system.

  Sheriff Morton : We'll pick up a mechanic, go after your car and go after Doc. He can't have gotten very far.

  Lt. Rod Blake : My car's all right and Doc's stashed in the schoolhouse over there.

  Sheriff Morton : What?

  Lt. Rod Blake : You're no John Barrymore. Watch you expression and I'll tell you about it in your office.

• Lt. Rod Blake : I'm risking my badge on account of you, you old scoundrel.

  Doc Crippin : Looks like you're risking my neck, too.

  Lt. Rod Blake : You won't be needing it unless I prove you didn't do this.
