Quotes

add »
thug: You guys play rough.

Malloy: You were doing the driving. (edit)
Lt. Wangsgard: Too bad he won't have someone to hold his hand out there.

Malloy: I did that once, remember? (edit)
Watch Commander: Remember, in this division, you can cut yourself on those shirt creases. (edit)
Malloy (to Reed): You're not supposed to think yet, junior. It's when you start thinking before you're supposed to think, that you think yourself dead. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Trivia:The name listed in the credits for the writer of this episode, John Randolph, was in actuality, series creator/executive producer Jack Webb. Webb's real name, is John Randolph Webb. (edit)
Trivia:The police station seen in this episode and throughout the series was
the recently built (late 1960s) station for the Los Angeles Police Department Rampart Division.



With Jack Webb's insistence on authenticity, he had the interior sets of the station actually constructed to mirror the interior of the "real" station. (edit)
Trivia: The newly completed (at the time) Rampart station shown in the series is actually in Division #2 within the LAPD, meaning that Malloy & Reed's radio call sign should techinically have been "2-Adam-12".



However, series creator Jack Webb thought the "1-Adam-12" sounded better, and as the series wore on, it became a moot point, since the 2 officers spent time in just about every division in the city, which would not have happened in reality. (edit)
