Kolchak: The Night Stalker

Maria: Y'know, Kolchak, I have this friend; he's a doctor...and Lou's always complaining 'cause his friends want free advice. Kolchak: Uh huh... Maria: Gypsies have the same problem. Kolchak: Aw, Maria...

Maria: It's just terrible to be broke and superstitious at the same time.

Maria: Should your paths cross that of a lying reporter, don't tell him anything, particularly about any robberies you may have seen. He will quote you, then mysteriously police will arrive at your door.

(talking about Kolchak) Vincenzo: When you get back to the swindle and fraud stories, write about how you're employed here, which is one of the biggest swindles in memory!

Ron: Remember, I have a musical background. I played french horn. Kolchak: I would have guessed that.

Miss Sherman: (talking about a policeman) He certainly takes a dim view of you. Kolchak: Well, he's a little dim-witted anyway.

Kolchak: (opening monologue) Remember the penny arcades that used to be so much fun when you were a kid? For a handful of coins you could test your strength, your skill at a pinball machine. Those arcades were a lot of things to a lot of kids. But there was one particular arcade that represented something special for me. It was here that began one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.
