Pete Malloy: A wise man once said; great hazards accompany innovation.
Jim Reed: Yeah. Who was that?
Pete Malloy: Me!

Go Malloy

Jim Reed: You just have to know how to arrest them and still make them like you. We call it technique.

Pete Malloy:
It's your life insurance and mine. You take care of it and it'll take care of you.

(Repeated line)
Police Dispatcher: "1 Adam-12, 1 Adam-12. (etc.)"

Malloy: "That's a great way to spend three days off; painting."

Malloy: (to Penelope)"You're out of your league."

Malloy: (to Reed) "You're a regular ray of sunshine, aren't you?"

Reed: (to Malloy)"If this keeps up, you're liable to lose a few friends."

Malloy: (to Penelope)"That act of yours is as subtle as a neon sign."

Reed: "1 Adam-12, P.M. watch clear."

Jim Reed:
15 years old. You'd think they'd have more sense.

Pete Malloy:
Not think, partner. You hope they'd have more sense.

Malloy: "Wouldn't be Sunday without Louie."

Booking officer: "All right, Louie. Come on, come on, you've been through this before."

Malloy: "Louie wouldn't know himself."

Malloy: "Well, at least it's nice to know there's one full set of brains in the crowd."

Tex: "I can't even rob a lousy liquor store right."

Reed: "You mean that you were robbed?"
Tex: "Picked cleaner than a Christmas goose."

Jim Reed:
We knock ourselves out to do a good job, and now this.

Pete Malloy:
Well, maybe we should stencil it on our uniforms; Good Cops - Handle with Care.

Sgt. MacDonald: "Snow White couldn't be cleaner."

Reed: "That's what we're here for."

Malloy: "That's my partner."

Officer Pete Malloy:
Charlie has welts and cuts all over her back and legs. She said 'Daddy did it'.

Reed: "You're a real reactionary, Ed, you know that?"

REED: You just have to know how to arrest them and still make them like you. We call it technique.

Malloy: "We have to come back here again."

Reed: "Yeah, they had good food."

Malloy: "Good food we can get anywhere, they had cute waitresses."

Mr. Gold: "You make a deal with tyranny, and it only gets worse."

Mrs. Fine: "Such a man I married. Such a man."

Officer Pete Malloy:
People calling us pigs - wives and children and friends having to live with that - because one rotten cop gets both his feet in the trough.

Malloy: (to Reed) "You speak from experience, Kemo Sabe."

MALLOY: Today we got lucky. All we got was a sack of fish.
REED: You just have to know how to arrest them and still make them like you. We call it technique.

Sidewalk Santa: "What kind of fink would slug Santa Claus?"

Reed: "You know, sometimes I think the Christmas spirit is alcohol."

Malloy: "That's the best vanishing act I've seen since Houdini."

Sgt. MacDonald: "Okay. Open the crate and let's see what we've got."

Reed – “ Sounds like a red head I used to know. “
Malloy: “What’s so funny?”
Reed: “ Oh Wells. I never knew a guy who could get into more scrapes! “

Reed: "Well, there goes the whole department."

(Last line of the series.)
Emcee: "Ladies and geltlemen, your Medal of Valor winners. To them, we owe our thanks. With gratitude, and with pride."

just a guess it was said - "He's Dead Jim"

(also said many times by Bones on Star Trek !)

Sgt. Miller: "They're your customers, Malloy."

Malloy: "You can tell him he pushed back a little too hard."

Officer James A. Reed:
It doesn't seem fair.

Officer Peter J. Malloy:
Sure its fair.

Officer James A. Reed:
I don't agree. They're abusing a legitimate grievance procedure. We knock ourselves out to do a good job and now this.

Officer Peter J. Malloy:
Maybe we should stencil it on our uniforms: Good cops, handle with care.

Malloy: "Welcome back to the land of the living."

Malloy – “How do you feel partner?“
Reed – “Hungry!“
Malloy – “You seem a little down.“

Malloy:YOU OWED A LOT OF POLICEMEN A CHANCE TO DO THEIR JOB WITHOUT BEING BRANDED LOUSY,
THINK ABOUT THAT! THEY CAN'T DO IT NOW BECAUSE YOU GOT THEM DIRTY! One cop gets weak, or greedy,
or stupid, that puts a hat on all of us and we have to swallow it! People calling us pigs, wives and children and friends having
to live with it, all because one rotten cop gets both his feet in the trough. You saved my life twice. You've got more
guts than anyone I know. But it takes more than guts to be a good cop. We were friends once. But you used that
friendship. You wrapped your garbage in it. Now there's no place for it except a dump.

Officer Pete Malloy:
[Referring to the dog that locked Simpson out of his truck] Looks like a pretty good watch dog.

Don Simpson:
Oh yeah, so far, he's watched them steal the truck 3 times.

George: "But those dicks, what do they know, huh?"

George: "It was hotter than two Julys wrapped up in an August."

Mrs. Baker: "I won't spend another night in that place."

Mrs. Baker: "I won't spend another night under the same roof with -- that man!"

(Pete Malloy) "A wise man once said; great hazards accompany innovation."
(Jim Reed) "Yeah. Who was that?"
(Pete Malloy) "Me."

Sgt. Miller: (to Reed)""Just to look at you makes me feel old."

Reed: "Kids are really somethin', aren't they?"

Malloy: (to Reed)"The dicks have their job and we have ours. It's that's simple."

Reed: "Any time, sergeant. That's our job."

Reed:Why the Class A uniform?(2 Officers point to a notice on the door
to the locker room-No Code C uniform) (Getting upset) What's the matter
with those guys downtown? The way it feels out there right now, it's going to be 90
degrees before 11:30!(Mac comes up to Malloy and Reed)
Mac:Is there a problem, guys?
Reed:Yeah, Mac. Why no Code C uniform?
Mac:Well, look at what I'm wearing, Reed. It's official, I declared it by landline.
Reed:Terrific! Into the sweat suits.
Mac:Why you guys always have to make me the heavy?
Malloy:Because you're our Sergeant and we love you!

Reed:Get out of my sight, Charlie, before I break you in two!

(Jim Reed) "You just have to know how to arrest them and still make them like you. We call it technique."

(First line of the series.)
Officer: (to Malloy)"Won't talk about it, huh?"

Officer James A. Reed:
Have you got someplace to spend the night Mr Spencer?

John Spencer:
Yeah, I've got a sister that lives nearby.

Lois Spencer:
Sure, go over to your sister's.

John Spencer:
I'll be back in the morning to get my stuff.

Lois Spencer:
Good, it will be in the trash!

Malloy: "Just fighting crime, ma'am."

Malloy: "I'll overlook that remark."

Reed: "That's what we need. Another bomb thrower."

Press Man:
If I'd been in your place, I would've just shot him.

Officer Jim Reed:
That's not what I'm paid to do.

Malloy: "...I decided the world wasn't ready for a redheaded Charlie Chaplin."

Sgt. MacDonald:
[after Wells shows up late, again] Wells.

Officer Ed Wells:
Yeah, Mac?

Sgt. MacDonald:
Tomorrow, when I come thru that door for roll call, the first thing I want to see is your face.

Officer Pete Malloy:
Your a glutton for punishment, Mac.

Dixie McCall: "...that's one advantage of being a nurse. You don't have to diagnose or break the bad news."

Roy DeSoto: (to Dr. Early)"You know, doc, there must be some kind of cure for his condition."

Malloy: "Grand theft horse? It's gotta be for real. It's too goofy."

Press Man:
You should've just shot him and gotten it over with, why didn't you?

Officer Jim Reed:
Because it wasn't necessary.

Reed: "Like the guy said..."
Malloy: "What?"
Reed: "We live a pretty dull life."

(A suspect threatens Reed.)
Malloy: (to Reed)"Welcome to the club."

Malloy: "I'd like to get my hand on those Johnsons."
Reed: "You and me both, partner."

"Reed, you're hopeless!" - Pete Malloy

Malloy: "She's so clean she squeaks."

Malloy: (to man)"You stay clear."
Man: "You know it, pal. And you guys better be careful. They got guns."

Bar Robber#1: "You're gonna pay, cop!"

Bar Robber#1: "A lousy hundred bucks. I would've done better on unemployment."

Reed: "Let's go, Frosty."

Waitress:
One lousy dime, that's not a tip.

Officer James A. Reed:
No ma'am, it's a hint.

Officer Wells: "The man can think."

Malloy: "I never thought I'd see the day I'd feel sorry for Wells."

Malloy: "I live right."

Owens: "Planned murder is not my bag."

The world is full of squirrels,
and some days on this job, it seems like we get 'em all.

Malloy: "I guess they got more to live for."

Officer Woods: "You know? It is a messy way to die."

Apartment Manager: "...he'll make a mess in there. Who's gonna clean it up?"

Pete Malloy:

A wise man once said, 'Great hazards accompany innovation.'”

Malloy: "People die every day. ADW, hit/run, murder. But I'll tell you something, when it happens to a child you don't get used to it."

Woman: "Oh, I hope your folks whip you but good."

Malloy: "We just fill out the reports, pal. Somebody else does the heavy thinkin'."

Reed: "Last of the big spenders."

Reed: "That's the way it seems to me."

Dave Morris: "Talk to 'em? I took a belt to 'em."

Malloy: "You know the old adage: When in doubt, ask the sergeant."

Harold Thompson: "You ought to put him under the jail."

Malloy: (to Reed)"Who do you think you are; Sergeant York?"
Reed: "Got in behind 'em. Nothing to it really."
Malloy: "Really? You could've been killed. When I give you orders, boy, you obey 'em, understand?"
Reed: "Yes, sir,..."

Malloy: "You're not supposed to think yet, boy."
Reed: "Yes, sir."
Malloy: "It's when you start thinking before you're supposed to think that you think yourself dead."

Malloy: "Three well-aimed .38 bullets."

Martin Milner’s sarcasm and perfect delivery were some of the best things about the show.

Officer Carter: For a minute there, I thought we were going to get into a pursuit with that speeder. Really looked like he was going to rabbit.
