      • Baretta: Foster homes ain't the worst thing in the world, it's a helluva alot more than most people have. I didn't have no home at all. Tommy: Yeah I guess your right. Baretta: See it all depends on how you look at things in this world. Some folks they look at a glass and say hey it's half empty, others look at it and say gee whiz it's half full. You get my meanin'. Tommy: Yeah, you know this head man I'm goin' to is kind of a freak. Baretta: What do you care, he's helpin' ya ain't he. I mean your feelin' better aren't ya. Tommy: Yeah, I'm feelin' alright. Baretta: Well who cares if he's a witch doctor, or a swami, or what the hell ever he is. Just ride with it for awhile. Tommy: Okay, I just wish I could stay with you and Billy. Baretta: Yeah, well, everythings gotta change pal. And it's time for you to move on and that's the name of that tune. Listen Billy ain't nothin' but an old drunk and me I'm a sex-crazed cop. But you got two of the best friends in this whole world whenever you need'em. Do me a favor will ya, put a glass of water next to your bed and look at it every night before you go to sleep. You'll be okay kid. Edit
      • Baretta: That guy Scott, what's his name. Rooster: Scott Martin, he's got more contacts in this city, alot of creeps around here, I'm tellin' ya man. But he's tightest with a man named Harding. Somethin' like you know a rich uncle, set him up and put him through college. He might be the cat you're lookin' for. Baretta: Yeah he could be. Rooster: What is this, might be man, I mean how come you ain't nose to nose with this cat Scott Martin, seems to me the old Baretta message might not get the right answers. Baretta: Yeah could scare off the guy I'm lookin' for. The cat that killed this little boy Jeff. This guy, what's his name Harding, is he a chicken hawk. Rooster: He is, he ain't advertisin'. Baretta: He's got a first name. Rooster: William, William Harding. Baretta: Bill Rooster: He's with a company uptown called, Cole, Shipley and Harding. Baretta: Alright partner thanks. Rooster: Whatcha doin' man, I mean I got ethics and morals. I know I do my thing, but I ain't messin' with nobodys kids. Baretta: Solid, solid. Edit
      • Baretta: Don't dump all that righteousness and holier than thou and all that poison on kids and then blame God when they don't turn out right. You killed your son! And you're gonna kill them two kids too. And if there is any law in this world, so help me God, I'd take'm away from ya. Edit
