Carella: If this guy gets knocked off we'll all be back pounding beats in the sticks. (edit) Havilland: Tell me why you stole the wreath.
Ramon: I didn't have money to buy one. (edit) Spencer: Meyer Meyer?
Meyer: I come from a big family. We ran out of first names. (edit) Kling: These guys are really serious, aren't they?
Carella: Aren't you? (edit) Carella: About all we can do is make sure any would be assassin knows he'd be the second guy to get killed. (edit)

The character of the State Department official is billed as Jim Spencer in the ending credits but referred to as Harry Spencer in the dialogue. (edit) The character of Roger Havilland was killed off in one of the early 87th Precinct novels but got resurrected when NBC decided to turn them into a weekly television series. (edit)
