Barney Miller

Barney: That coffee's a funny color. Yemana: It's maroon. Barney: How'd it get to be maroon? Yemana: It's the color spectrum. You mix brown coffee with yellow water and you got maroon. Barney: Why is it fizzing? Yemana: It's the air sneaking out of the cracks out of the cup.

Driscoll: You know, you look exactly like Boris Karloff. Fish: That's because we're both dead.

Yemana: It takes all kinds to make a world. That's why we're not all Chinese.

Barney: If anybody hustled you, it wasn't anyone from this precinct! Driscoll: All I know is, he showed me his badge and said he was from the Twelfth and told me I had a choice—pay through the nose or bleed through it. And, God, I've already got a deviated septum.
