Kolchak: The Night Stalker

Kolchak: (opening narration) They were tearing up an old road to lay more freeway a few miles south of Las Vegas. The State of Nevada's Department of Highway's digging would be a help to thousands of motorists, but to one other person, it would turn out to be a nightmare.

Carl: (narrating) (Catherine Rawlins) had been arrested a few times for prostitution. Late in 1970, at the age of 25, she'd been listed as a missing person. Two things were now clear: she was no longer missing, nor could she now be considered a person.

Carl: What I saw wasn't kung fu and it wasn't chow mein either! It was a female vampire!

Carl: (The cross) was a local landmark so I had to pay for another one, and I didn't mind at all. I just couldn't think of a way to get it on the expense account.

Carl: (narrating) And who would go near (the house)? Only a vampire . . . or some fool looking for her.

Vincenzo: I'm tired of it, Kolchak. I'm fed up! I've got a brother-in-law who's got a fourteen-year-old kid he's always bailing out of juvenile hall, but I've got you, and you are worse!

Prostitute: What does that witch have that I don't? Carl: Believe me, baby, you would not want to know.

Carl: You're not Catherine Rawlins. Prostitute: Well, you're not Marcello Mastroianni, but you don't hear me crying about it.

Faye: Then why was (Vincenzo) shouting? Carl: Oh, editors always shout. You have to get used to that.

Carl: Ichabod thought he'd added another filly to his stable of trotters. In Ichabod's parlance, his new acquisition was called a "fox.' He had no way of knowing (Rawlins) was actually more closely related to the bat.

Matteo: (to Kolchak) One of the reasons I went into police work is because I thought I'd meet all kinds of people. Interesting people. That's the truth. But you're not interesting. You're just idiotic.

(discussing Faye's story) Carl: You don't have any more 'ofts', do you? Or 'narys'? Or 'dost thous'? Faye: I never use 'dost thou'. I do have a 'nary', though. What's the matter with that? Carl: Well, it went out with 'methinks'.

Vincenzo: Carl? Is that you? I could hear you a lot better if you took that submarine sandwich out of your mouth.

Carl: You should meet my boss - he'd turn Buddha into a chain smoker.
