Detective Paul Gardeno : [after Barney asked him to shave off his large beard] Cute, ain't I? Clean cut. Charming. Now when I bust some punk in the street and I say, "Freeze! I'm a police officer", he's gonna look at me and laugh, and say "Ha ha ha, look at that kid". Then he'll pull out a piece and blow my keister off.
Barney Miller : Don't be ridiculous.
Detective Paul Gardeno : Freeze! I'm a police officer.
Yemana : Ha ha ha.
