• George Cowley : By the way, did you two pick up my desk?

  Bodie : Ah, well, yes sir, we did.

  Doyle : And we didn't.

  George Cowley : You did and you didn't?

  Doyle : Yeah...

  Bodie : Yeah, well, we did the first time...

  Doyle : But not the, uh, second time...

• [Bodie and Doyle collected Cowley's valuable antique desk but it fell off the roof-rack of their car as they were chasing Coleman and Angadi] 

  George Cowley : I suppose you heard what these two did to my desk, McCabe?

  McCabe : It's the talk of the department, sir.

  George Cowley : Battered beyond recognition... minus its drawers.

  McCabe : Nasty. On that evidence I'm surprised you don't charge them with rape!
