Ironside Season 2 Episode 21

Ed: I never knew you to pay such close attention to regulations.
Ironside: This office may be unorthodox, but it's still part of the Police Department. Now you're welcome here, very welcome, but for the time being you're just Mr. Ed Brown.
Ed: Thank you, but I think I'd feel a little out of place. (leaves)

Captain Barnes: You know, there no law that says a plain ordinary civilian type citizen can't, ah, have two jobs, but if one of our men has trouble, it counts against him. (shakes head)
Ironside: I know. It's a little like having more than one girlfriend. The first one finds out, she figures she's not getting your undivided attention.
