Ironside (TV Series)

Memory of an Ice Cream Stick (1968)

Raymond Burr: Robert T. Ironside

Quotes 

• Mark Sanger : [after a robbery/murder, Mark is rousted when found talking with a recently released robber/felon]  Now just what did we do to deserve treatment like that?

  Robert T. Ironside : There was a stick-up, Sam answered the description. You were with him so they checked you too.

  Mark Sanger : Yes, with my hands against the wall, and somebody going through my pockets.

  Robert T. Ironside : Now just hold it Mark, Just hold it. Mark, you've got to be reasonable. You've been around a police operation long enough to know that what happened to you was standard procedure. It may have been unpleasant but it's the only way those officers could have handled the situation.

  Mark Sanger : I'm not so sure of that.

  Robert T. Ironside : Really? You think they were just mean cops, is that it? Look, if Sam were a suspect, he could have had a gun. If you were an accomplice, you could have been armed. Now, what would you like those officers to do? Tap you on the shoulder and say, 'excuse me sir, did you just hold up a supermarket?'
